Thundermind

An elementary school history teacher, Zou Kang took his class to a museum on an ordinary field trip. But something extraordinary happened - while he was amusing himself trying to decipher the writing on some old pottery, something clicked in his head. Recitiing the phrase "Om me padme hum" ("All hail the jewel in the lotus"), Kang was granted access to the siddhis. He became the being known as Thundermind.

Kang's first act as a superhuman was to save a sinking ferry. One woman on the ferry, a teacher named Ms. Wu, fell in love with Thundermind there and then. Ever since, Zou Kang has been living a double life: he is considered just a friend by Ms. Wu, but is the object of her affections when he's Thundermind.

Thundermind is a founding member of the Great Ten, and is one of the strongest and most beloved members of that group. When alleged Chinese Gods attacked the Chinese Communist Party, he battled their strongest member, Kuan Yu, to a virtual standstill in the heart of Beijing.

Zou considers himself the conscience of his team, and will not hesitate to go against orders if he feels it is the right thing for him to do. When the JSA lead an assault on Science Island to recue Black Adam that lead to a standoff with the Great Ten, it was Thundermind who telepathically revealed the Chinese government's hand in the assassination of Black Adam's family to Alan Scott, unbeknownst to August General in Iron, the Great Ten's field commander.

Powers Transformation: By uttering the phrase 'All hail the jewel in the lotus,' Zou Kang is physically transformed into the superhuman form of Thundermind. Thundermind is a "Bodhisattva," which means he has the powers listed in the siddhis of Tantric Buddhist mysticism. These supernatural powers are the following: Superhuman Speed Superhuman Agility Superhuman Reflexes Flight Invulnerability Size Alteration Psychokinesis Telepathy Bilocation: Thundermind can create a duplicate of himself, to which he is psychically linked, in order to be in two places at once. When he has no more need of his clone, Thundermind can reabsorb it into his body. Invisibility

The Great Ten is a team of Chinese superheroes, who are sponsored by the government of the People's Republic of China. For every action the Great Ten takes during combat it must be approved by the bureaucracy. Their base is inside the Great Wall of China.
