LoginJohnny Thunder
Johnny Thunder is a Golden Age super-hero who fights crime with the help of Thunderbolt. His Thunderbolt is Yz, a magical being from the 5th Dimension who grants his wishes. Despite his blundering demeanor, he was born one of the luckiest men on the planet. He has been a member of the All-Star Squadron and the Justice Society of America. Johnny Thunder was created by John Wentworth and Stan Aschmeier, first appearing in Flash Comics #1. (1940)
John L. Thunder is the seventh son of a seventh son, born at 7 a.m. on Saturday, July 7, the seventh day of the week, the seventh day of the seventh month in 1917. This causes him to be kidnapped and sold to a group of men from the fictional country of Badhnesia who had been looking for someone born at this time on this day. As an infant, Johnny is given possession of the genie-like "Thunderbolt" named Yz during a mystic ritual on his seventh birthday, which was intended to allow the Badhnesians to use Johnny to rule the world. However, the plan is soon aborted after an attack from a neighboring country. Johnny eventually returns to the United States and lives an ordinary life until one day, while washing windows, he inadvertently summons the Thunderbolt with the magic words cei-u (pronounced "say you") when he calls for someone to throw him a sponge, which he accidentally uses to become a successful boxer. Johnny underwent several adventures (each time inadvertently summoning the Thunderbolt via the use of "say, you" in his day-to-day conversation, never realizing the Thunderbolt was responsible for the extraordinary events that befell him) before finally learning of the Thunderbolt's existence.
Johnny was a member of the Justice Society.
