NAME: CAPTAIN THUNDER
Captain Thunder was one of the founding members of new Freedom League and the de facto leader. He was the first to suggest that the League expand its operations and roster in the wake of the Grue Unity invasion in 2004. Hence, Freedom League International was born.
In 1990, Ray Gardener was a test pilot for Nolan Aircraft. While on a test flight for an experimental fighter jet, Ray was set upon by a strange electrical storm and it is believed that this was the source of his newfound powers. For years, Ray operated anonymously as Captain Thunder, hiding his identity for the safety of his loved ones, especially his wife and young child. In 2001, however, his true identity was revealed on live national television when his arch nemesis, Dr. Stratos, captured and unmasked him.
Since then, Ray has had to adapt to becoming Captain Thunder full-time and has taken steps to protect his family. It was recently revealed that his 14-year-old son, Ray Jr., has inherited some of his fathers unusual powers and the Captain has gone to great lengths to ensure that his son has the opportunity to develop his potential in the most constructive manner possible.
Captain Thunder is a gentle giant at times- powerful but humble and kind-spirited. When angered or defending innocents however, his wrath can be as great and unrelenting as his namesake.
