Episode 04: Forces of Nature "We are Thunder and Lightning - and we can do as we please!" - Lightning Originally aired: August 16, 2003 Written by Adam Beechen Directed by Ciro Nieli Posted Image Dark ominous clouds blow in from the East, bringing Thunder and Lightning with them: two forces of nature made flesh in the form of costumed super-teens. The stormy brothers aren't evil, they're just looking for a good time. Unfortunately, their idea of fun involves wrecking everything in sight. Meanwhile: when one of Beast Boy's practical jokes misfires and soaks Starfire in motor oil, Beast Boy learns that just because something is fun -- that doesn't make it right. Can Beast Boy teach Thunder and Lightning his lesson before Slade harnesses the brothers' power to unleash a monster? Posted Image Scott Bullock as Thunder Quinton Flynn as Lightning Ron Perlman as Slade Posted Image Posted ImageFirst appearance of Thunder & Lightning. Posted ImageSlade meets Robin face-to-face for the first time. Posted Image Sam Register on FORCES OF NATURE: "Yeah – we didn’t know quite was [Slade] was going to be after. We knew we needed an enemy. And in the first season, we decided he wanted an apprentice and it was sort of a Luke-and-Darth thing. And he was called Deathstroke in the comic and we can’t use the word ‘death’ so we went with his first name. So we wanted to keep him mysterious and dark and sort of the uber-villian. And he’s worked out great. And he looks pretty much like ‘The Old One’ too [from the episode “Forces of Nature”]." "And there are episodes we all want to do. Like I wanted to do Thunder and Lightning because I liked that from the comics. " Posted Image In New Teen Titans [first series] #32 [1983], Two young men calling themselves Thunder and Lightning were causing major disturbances in St. Louis with their super-powers. The Titans learned that the Vietnamese brothers were searching for their father, Second Lt. Walter Williams. Thunder and Lightning reveal that they are the children of American soldier Walter Williams and a Vietnamese mother. Thunder and Lightning later learn their father was actually an alien in disguise in New Teen Titans [first series] #36 [1983]. Following this, the brothers sought to control their powers but remained allies with the Titans. Slade's disguise as The Ancient One is actually very similar to the way he looks in the comic books - something the animated staff were aware of when designing The Ancient One. Slade has white hair, an eyepatch and a goatee. It's probably the closest the series will ever come to actually 'unmasking' him. |
