THUNDEROUS:Mikhail Donner is half-German, half-Russian, and lived in Siberia near the Tunguska river as a trapper in 1908.

Powers: Physically strongest of the Next Level, his arm, leg, and back braces amplify his strength many times. He can also increase his metabolism, cranking it up to at least twice its normal rate, through his belt...but he has to consume food in large quantities to feed this accelerated metabolism. Also has a highly charged bioelectric field, which is used to power his weapons. (Glows in dark with a blue-white discharge unless he "hoods" it.)

He wields a weapon which can suppress the negative charge of an electron, causing it to utterly destroy any object it hits, dissolving with a loud thunderclap into monoatomic dust.

Origin: Taken as a laborer for the Zha'Tahn, once he was equipped with his limb braces and the bullroarer-like weapon, he drove the Zha'Tahn away single-handedly, destroying their craft miles above the earth, causing a huge explosion, known as the Tunguska event, flattening trees for hundreds of miles around.

Sage found him soon after and got medical care for him, and Donner joined the Next Level under the codename "Thunderous". Ageless, of course, keeps him young.Group affiliation: The Next Level. Position in group: Enforcer and security, Sage's strong right arm.

Motivations: Hates the Zha'Tahn for trying to enslave him, loyal to Sage/Soul, otherwise, not too complicated. Not very intellectual, enjoys sports events and drinking socially. Uses his metabolism-accelerating belt to burn off the intoxication, when need be. Works as a bar bouncer when bored, although can draw off funds from the Raven Corporation.
