Powers and Abilities
The five original members of the Thunderiders are mutants. They have no powers which function individually, but collectively have the power to project their strength, skills and knowledge onto another party without diminishing their own skills in the process. The person, who retains no memory of having been the recipient, is transformed into a black-clad motorcyclist known as The Marauder. Initially the Thunderiders had no conscious control either over the manifestation of the Marauder or the person upon whom it was manifested. Training by Professor Xavier gave them greater control. For instance, they learned how to voluntary transform into the Marauder themselves and retain the memory of being in that form.
The Thunderiders are all expert motorcycle riders.

“At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths—your abilities and your failings.”
