The Thundermans Wiki

Superpowers are traits, features or skills that are beyond normal human ability. That is, a character with a superpower can do things that normal human beings can't do.

There are several superpowers on The Thundermans because it is a sci-fi show about a family of superheroes. People with superpowers tend to be superheroes or supervillains depending on whether they use their powers for good or for evil.

It is revealed in The Haunted Thundermans that all superheroes/villains have the ability of True Sight which allows them to see and hear ghosts.

It is also revealed in The Thundermans Return that superheroes/villains were granted powers through their ancestors eating the seeds of a mysterious plant, known as the Power Plant, which is currently protected by Thunder Man.

This page provides a summary of all the superpowers that appeared on the show.
