Thunderstorm is a series created by user Sote Tariah. During the early 2000s Thunderstorm emerges as a hero. He's a 15 year old who is the son of a renowned scientist who specializes in the climate change and the weather. His father also works with ARROW but has to keep that under wraps since it's a government agency that the public does not know about. Thunderstorm along with two of his childhood friends also have an interest in science but they're also dumb kids that more often than not find themselves in situations they probably shouldn't be in. Nothing inherently dangerous until one night they decide to sneak into the research facility Thunderstorm's dad works at. While messing around with experiments they shouldn't, an explosion goes off and the trio gets powers. Thunderstorm gets weather manipulation powers, Michelle gets super speed and goes under the code name Swift and Miguel gets fire powers and goes by the code name Burn Notice. They operate as a sort of superhero trio. Action, humor, and awesomeness ensue.
In the hyper-policed, sterile metropolis of Vector City, a totalitarian regime known as the Vector United Authority (VUA) rules with an iron fist. Led by the charismatic but corrupt Director Gordon Vane, the "rotten adults" of the city are systematically siphoning the city's underground Ley Line energy, draining the vibrant culture, memories, and very souls out of historic neighborhoods and transforming them into lifeless, grey corporate blocks. Zack Ridge, a normal 16-year-old high school kid just trying to survive his classes and get home to his loving parents. Zack's life is completely shattered when Director Vane personally frames him for a brutal assault he didn't commit, using the VUA's absolute media gaslighting networks to broadcast his face citywide as a dangerous delinquent. On the run from the hyper-aggressive Paranormal Police and automated H.O.U.N.D. Drones, Zack is rescued by Professor Sprocket Locke, an old-school, eccentric mechanic who runs a neighborhood parcel shop called Sprocket Express as a secret front for an underground rebellion. Recognizing the fire and defiance in the kia, Sprocket clamps a blocky, industrial prototype onto Zack's arm: The Spectral Gauntlet. Powered by Zack's internal fury, the gauntlet taps into the city's supernatural currents, supercharging his Vector-Drive Inline Skates with physics-defying speed and kinetic energy. Joined by his fast-talking, comic-relief best friend Felix "Flea" Greene and a cool, mysterious Japanese transfer student named Haruka "Haru" Sakamori, they officially form The Ground-Line Riot. Operating right under the noses of the corrupt adults, the crew takes on high-stakes, high-velocity delivery runs for Sprocket Express to smuggle vital data and rebel tech. By mastering supersonic rail-grinds, wall-rides off skyscrapers, and momentum-fueled kinetic strikes, these rebellious kids are determined to shatter the VUA's monochrome illusions, restore the vibrant color to their streets, and put an end to Director Vane's oppressive machine once and for all!
