Fictional character biography[edit | edit source]

Molly Wilson is a young Librarian who is transformed into Thunder Girl by shouting the magic word, "Alakazam!" loudly. She returns to normal by shouting this again. As Thunder Girl, Molly has the power to lift skyscrapers and fly at subsonic speeds. Sometimes, Thunder Girl refers to Molly in third person, suggesting that they are two different personalities.

The Criss-Cross Crisis[edit | edit source]

During the Criss-Cross Crisis, Thunder Girl discovered that her arch-foe, Dr. Hy Q. Binana (a super-intelligent monkey) was behind the clash of two worlds, but when the Crisis was over, Thunder Girl was trapped on the Silver Age Earth-A, unable to return home to the Golden Age Earth-B. Instead, she stayed on Earth-A as a member of the Roundtable of America.

Modern Age[edit | edit source]

In the Modern Age, Molly had upgraded her costume, and used her magic to keep herself young and beautiful. Her language had grown stronger, and she was dating Overdrive (previously Cyclone).

Powers and Abilities[edit | edit source]

Molly Wilson is a superheroine who is powered by Nature herself. The primary power that she possesses is the ability to transform into her superpowered alter ego by saying the word "Alakazam" loudly. This would summon a brilliant burst of lightning to strike and transform her. In her transformed state, Molly was incredibly strong and was able to lift skyscrapers. She was also able to fly and run at subsonic speeds. She was mostly invulnerable to damage, and possessed potent magical abilities. This allowed her to retain her youth and beauty. She also possessed the "Wisdom of the Owl" which granted her a form of enhanced intellect, presumably heightening her memory and ability to process information. In addition, Molly was capable of using her transformative lightning bolts as unconventional weapons to strike opponents.
