History
Originally commissioned by General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, the Thunderbolt was created by the air force to act as a mobile base for Ross in his attempts to hunt down the Hulk. Following Ross's transformation into the Red Hulk, and Red Hulk's destruction of a Ross LMD (making it appear Red Hulk was responsible for Ross's death), his protege, Reggie Fortean, took control of the Thunderbolt, and used it to track the Red Hulk down, seeking revenge for Ross's seeming death.[1]
It has since been used by Fortean to track and monitor the Red Hulk as he traveled across Texas[2] and Arkansas.[3] It sustained minor damage against an aircraft used by Black Fog as he escaped a battle with Red Hulk over the Mojave Desert.[4]
