History: John Proudstar was born on the Apache reservation in Camp Verde, Arizona. During his childhood and adolescence, John proved to be an exceptionally strong and vigorous athlete. Proudstar, however, regarded himself throughout his life as a loner and an outcast. John wished to prove himself to be a warrior in the tradition of his ancestors and was dissatisfied with what he regarded as the complacent lives led by his fellow Apaches on their reservation. Although too young to join the armed forces, Proudstar lied about his age and entered the United Stated Marines, intending to lead the kind of active life he desired. Proudstar became a corporal and earned a number of medals, but still was dissatisfied with his life once his tour of duty was over and he had returned to the reservation.
Proudstar's mutant superhuman strength first manifested itself when, at the age of twenty and using only his bare hands, he wrestled and threw a charging bison to save an endangered little girl. This feat earned Proudstar fame among his tribes people on the reservation, but the true nature of his abilities remained unknown, until Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men, a team of superhuman mutant adventurers, discovered him. Through the use of his mutant-detecting computer Cerebro, Prof. Xavier located Proudstar, whom he invited to join the X-Men. The first mission that Proudstar and six other new recruits undertook was the rescue of the original X-Men from the "living island" of Krakoa in the South Pacific. With the exception of Sunfire, all of these new recruits, including Proudstar, decided to stay on and became the "new" X-Men. Prof. Xavier gave Proudstar the code name "Thunderbird". This third group of X-Men were mostly adults and required no tutoring from Professor X, but trained in the use of their powers, in the Danger Room.
On their next mission, the new X-Men went to Cheyenne Mountain in the Colorado Rockies, the location of a North American Air Defense command center, which had been taken over by Count Luchino Nefaria as part of an international extortion scheme. After the X-Men had foiled his plans, Nefaria attempted to escape in a small aircraft and Thunderbird managed to climb onto the plane as it took off. Defying Prof. Xavier's telepathic warnings to get off the plane, Thunderbird asserted that he was finally going to prove he was a true Apache warrior. Using his superhuman strength, Thunderbird ripped open part of the plane and wreaked havoc on its internal systems. Furiously, Thunderbird pummeled the aircraft until finally it exploded. Thunderbird was teleported out of the way thanks to the Scarlet Sorceress before the aircraft blew up and now is proud to be finally seen as a true warrior.
Equipment: Conventional knives and rifles.
Powers:
Superhuman Strength - Thunderbird is superhumanly strong and can lift approximately 2 tons under optimum conditions. He can also increase his strength when he utters the incantation "I call upon the spirit of the great grizzly!!!". This incantation also temporarily changes him into a powerful grizzly bear.
Superhuman Stamina - Thunderbird's muscles produce less fatigue toxins than the muscles of ordinary humans. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair him.
Superhumanly Dense Tissue - Thunderbird's muscle tissue is three times as dense as that of a normal human being and is distributed in such a way as to give Thunderbird massive shoulders, arms, and thighs. His skin is several times as dense as that of a normal human being and included an additional layer of leathery epidermis.
Superhuman Durability - Due to the increased density of his skin and muscle tissues, Thunderbird's body is somewhat more resistant to physical injury than an ordinary human. Although far from invulnerable, he is capable of withstanding impact forces and blunt trauma that would severely cripple or kill an ordinary human with only mild to moderate discomfort.
Superhuman Respiration - Thunderbird's lungs are oversized, and his respiratory system is developed in such a way as to allow him maximum wind and endurance with a minimum of oxygen intake. These features make Thunderbird a natural outdoor fighter and athlete.
Abilities: Thunderbird is an experienced hand-to-hand combatant.
Weaknesses: Mortal.
Trivia:
-He's Nightcrawler's favorite target for pranks.
-He's 6'1" tall.
