Character history
Thunderbunny was the last survivor of an alien race of humanoid animals. The essence of this world's greatest hero was transferred into a special box shaped device and subtly presented to a young boy named Bobby Caswell.
When Bobby placed his hands in two hand-shaped impressions on the box, power transferred into his body and gave him the ability to transform into Thunderbunny. His powers include super strength and flight.
Bobby finds the bunny form embarrassing. Furthermore 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 makes him most reluctant to use his superhero identity, but he's still had adventures as Thunderbunny.
