History: (Spider-Man Magazine (I#14)) - Thunderbolt became a superhero.

Comments: Created by Joey Hamilton.

Thunderbolt was a product of Marvel's Spider-Man Magazine visiting Ms. Hopkins' third grade glass at Saratoga Elementary School in Springfield, Virginia circa 1995. Each child was asked to design their own superhero and only five of them were shown in Spider-Man Magazine's "Classy Super-Heroes" article in the fourteenth issue of the Magazine. In Thunderbolt's case, he was created by then-third grader Joey Hamilton.

Thunderbolt's height & weight were impossible to approximate, as he was never seen next to any character whose height & weight had been officially determined. Additionally, he was only seen in his costume so his eye & hair color were also impossible to determine.

Thunderbolt's origin was never shown and, in fact, next to nothing was revealed about the character, other than him being a superhero.

After Spider-Man Magazine I#10, the issues of the Magazine no longer featured issue numbers and mostly were listed as "Winter, 1995" and so forth, as the Magazine had went to a seasonal publishing schedule instead of monthly like the earlier issues. According to the indicias of the recent Adventures of Spider-Man & Adventures of X-Men trade paperbacks (which reprinted the original comic strips from Spider-Man Magazine), the issue that featured Thunderbolt would have been #14.
