The Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide to... The ThunderboltsUnpublished

Reading guides, like lightning, should always appear to few men’s ruin, but to all men’s cheer! It’s the WCL Guide to the Thunderbolts!

Who are the Thunderbolts?

During the absence of The Avengers and the Fantastic Four, Baron Zemo assembled a team of villains disguised as superheroes to win the public’s trust while secretly plotting a world takeover. The villains betrayed Zemo after realising they preferred being heroes, and the Thunderbolts were born.

The team has changed rosters and purposes several times over its history, but its membership is usually made up of anti-heroes or villains conscripted into public service or actively seeking redemption.
