The Story of the Thundermans

The show is about the Thundermans, a family who all have superpowers. They try to live like a regular family in a town called Hiddenville. But it's not always easy when you can fly or move things with your mind!

Phoebe Thunderman dreams of being a great superhero. She wants to use her powers to help people and do good things. Her twin brother, Max, has different ideas. He wants to be a big supervillain and use his powers for mischief.

Their parents, Hank and Barb, also have superpowers. They try their best to live normal lives. But sometimes, their powers accidentally come out! Nora and Billy, the younger kids, love using their powers whenever they can.

Living in Max's secret lair in the basement is Dr. Colosso. He used to be a supervillain himself. Now, he's been turned into a rabbit! He often gives Max advice on how to be a villain.

New Family Member

At the end of the second season, the Thundermans welcome a new baby sister. Her name is Chloe. She also has her own special powers!

Max's Big Choice

During the third season, Phoebe starts training to become a superhero. Meanwhile, a very powerful supervillain named Dark Mayhem trains Max. Dark Mayhem wants Max to join his evil side.

At the end of the season, Dark Mayhem asks Max to prove he is a villain. He tells Max to take away Phoebe's powers. But Max makes a brave choice. He decides to help his family instead. Max becomes a superhero and helps them defeat Dark Mayhem.

Joining the Z-Force

In the fourth season, Max and Phoebe team up as the "Thunder Twins." They are chosen as possible members for an important superhero team. This elite team is called the Z-Force.

Halfway through the season, something strange happens. Phoebe accidentally gets Dark Mayhem's powers. This makes her turn evil for a short time! Luckily, her family helps her become good again.
