Thunderverse is a universe on Nickelodeon based on the original series, The Thundermans, followed by the movie, The Thundermans Return and the spin-off series, The Thundermans: Undercover.
In this universe, superpowers exist because of the Power Plant resulting in superheroes and supervillains existing. The Thundermans use "supes" and "non-supes" to distinguish between people with superpowers and those without.
Regular humans are aware of the existence of superheroes and supervillains but are not aware of most of their identities due to being kept a secret. Metroburg is the main location of superheroes and supervillains and where they operate, including where the Hero League and Villain League headquarters are set up.
Background
The Thundermans is about Barb and Hank Thunderman who used to be superheroes, as Thunder Man and Electress in Metroburg but retired and moved to Hiddenville to raise their children to live a normal life. Their secrets get exposed in Thundermans: Secret Revealed but in Thundermans: Banished, President Kickbutt makes the rest of Hiddenville think they are powerless when they still have their powers, with Cherry being the only one knowing they still have powers.
