With the MCU’s Thunderbolts* premiering at the start of next month, let’s roll the clock back to the debut of the Thunderbolts, one of Marvel Comics’ biggest and most iconic teams of the late 90s. The Thunderbolts were introduced in the aftermath of Onslaught, a crossover event mega-villain and sentient psionic entity created from the subconscious of Charles Xavier and Magneto. The X-Men, Fantastic Four and the Avengers all had to join forces to defeat Onslaught, with Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and the Fantastic Four seemingly sacrificed their lives to ensure victory. The Thunderbolts filled the resulting power vacuum left by all these A-List Superheroes’ apparent demise, but with a twist. The team’s introduction is collected into Thunderbolts Vol. 1 TPB: Justice, Like Lightning…, which compiles Incredible Hulk #449, Tales of The Marvel Universe, Thunderbolts #1-4, Thunderbolts 1997 Annual and Spider-Man Team-Up #7.Thunderbolts Vol. 1 TPB: Justice, Like Lightning… is written by Kurt Busiek, with pencils by Mark Bagley and inks by Vince Russell, colors by Joe Rosas, and letters from Comicraft’s Dave Lanphear and Oscar Gongora. The Thunderbolts briefly capture the Hulk and rescue a tenement building before their solo debut, wherein they save the Statue of Liberty from the Wrecking Crew and become an overnight sensation. The final pages of Thunderbolts #1 reveal their true identities as Baron Zemo’s Masters of Evil. Feigning humble beginnings, the team saves Franklin Richards, befriends Spider-Man, battles a new iteration of the Masters of Evil, and gains a new member in Jolt, an idealistic teenager who has no idea of their real motivations.Although there has been no Onslaught-level devastation immediately preceding the debut of the Thunderbolts*, the board is missing a lot of similar players. Tony Stark and Steve Rogers are both dead, although the Captain America mantle has been revived already in the MCU, by Sam Wilson. Thor is AWOL, and the Fantastic Four are similarly absent, still awaiting their introduction into the MCU.
