Dark blue long-sleeved shirt with white lightning bolt shaped strips on the forearm areas; dark blue leggings with white ends and white lightning bolt shaped strips around the ankles; no cape or midsection coverage, the latter intended to show off new diapers with dark blue exterior and other matching colors; dark blue eye mask that doesn’t alter eye appearance

ORIGIN:

Thunder Pup is the persona an age-regressed Courage Wolf dons to avoid detection by the dastardly villain Grandfather Clock.  Courage only uses this persona as long as this discretion is needed, quickly abandoning it and returning to his normal persona afterward.

To find out more about his origin, see “Heroes -- Courage Wolf” and/or the “S.U.P.E.R.” story arc.

 

 

PERSONALITY:

After spending time with other actual cubs in Cain’s nursery for about a week, Carl learned to loosen himself up a bit.  In his new persona as Thunder Pup, he seems to have noticeably more fun being a superhero rather than seeing it as a personal duty.  If the situation is drastic and/or serious enough, however, Thunder can still control himself and take matters very seriously.  Thunder still wants to experience all there is about being a resident of planet Furth, and he doesn’t hesitate to help people and show that he’s a good person.
