Named after the mystic mallet given to him by Odin after the return of the original Thor because Odin is nothing if not fickle. As detailed previous this look just oozes 90's and unfortunately Thunderstrike's career was a short 24 issues and (22 year old spoilers) then he died. He's just the sort of second tier, relatively obscure hero that plucks at my fanboy heartstrings. What's kind of funny is that I only really learned about Eric Masterson as Thunderstrike (as opposed to his turn as Thor) from the introduction of his son Kevin all grown up as a new Thunderstrike in the MC2 universe of Spider-Girl fame. Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, creators of Eric Masterson, were also the driving force behind much of the MC2 line including A-Next, the next generation of Avengers led by Kevin Masterson's Thunderstrike. He shared his dad's penchant for ponytails but luckily not much else in terms of fashion sense. Kewl.

| Seriously I don't know why his arms are so weird. |
 |
| "It's hammer-time!" |
 |
| "Oh wait, this is a mace..." |
 |
| Welcome to the gun show. |
