The life of 14-year-old boy Bobby Sanders changed forever the day a tornado hit his hometown of Windy Gap and leveled the family farm, leaving Bobby the only survivor with no memory of anything that happened*. Little by little he began to develop strange powers that frightened his fellow citizens. With nothing and no one to tie him to that place, young Bob dedicated himself to traveling from state to state, learning to use his new skills and helping everyone in need. Inspired by the appearance of the Wonder of Chicago and other individuals with paranormal abilities, Bobby decided to become a costumed hero himself and The Twister was born. It wasn't long before Bobby met up with those other paranormal heroes to form a team, the Crime Smashers.
(*) It is implied that the tornado that destroyed the family farm was actually Bobby himself, unleashing his paranormal power after watching his father, an alcoholic, beat his mother to death. This origin makes him the multiversal twin of the hero Tornado Tom.
POWERS & WEAPONS
The Twister can create tornadoes and twisters with destructive winds. He can project F5 tornadoes from each arm. It is said that its winds knock down a building in seconds. He is also able to deflect incoming objects with ease. By channeling these cyclonic force winds through his lower body, he can fly at incredible speeds or hover in one place.
