Character history

Thunderbunny is the last survivor of an alien race of humanoid animals. The essence of this world's greatest hero is transferred into a special box shaped device and subtly presented to a young human boy named Bobby Caswell.

When Bobby placed his hands in two hand shaped impressions on the box, the act caused a power transfer into his body and gave him the ability to transform into Thunderbunny. Although the powers which include super strength and flight are thrilling to him, he finds the bunny form embarrassing. Furthermore, he learns to his consternation that the longer he stays in that form, the more difficult it is to form the essential mental image of his original form to change back. This combination of concerns make him most reluctant to use his superhero identity, but he still has numerous adventures in it.
