| God of Thunder | comment |
Throughout the world there have been many religions and myths regarding gods, monsters and superhuman entities, but this one seems to be really popular. A god of thunder is a Physical God with supreme control over electricity and thunder. Thunder and lightning have always been associated with the unknowable majesty of the Heavens themselves, so gods of thunder are typically the ones who send out Bolts of Divine Retribution to punish mortals for their hubris and wickedness. Many mythologies portray how they wield it differently, whether they channel it through a sword or a hammer, throw out bolts like spears or shoot them like arrows. Because of this, they are typically portrayed as warriors, if not as outright Berserkers than as protectors of divine justice. Like gods of the sea, thunder gods are often portrayed as having very mercurial and, well, tempestuous personalities. They're often quick to anger and offense, mirroring how storms can seem to boil out of the sky with no warning to unleash devastation and then vanish as quickly as they came. Subtrope of Stock Gods. Compare the War God and the relatively more mundane Shock and Awe and Thunder Beetle. Commonly overlaps with Top God and Everybody Loves Zeus, though it is not mutually exclusive to either. See also Raijū. Can be a source for a Perpetual Storm in some media. |

Head Pet | |
| God of Thunder / int_80cf519a | comment |
When Izanagi ventured into Yomi, the realm of the dead, in an attempt to convince his wife Izanami to return to the realm of the living with him, he bore witness to the horrifying sight of the Yakusa-Ikazuchi, eight spirits representing different aspects of lightning, crawling all over Izanami's body. The eight of them were known as Ō-ikazuchinote Great Lightning, who sat upon Izanami's head and represented the overwhelming power of thunder, Hono-ikazuchinote Fire Thunder, who crawled upon Izanami's torso and represented the fires caused by lightning, Kuro-ikazuchinote Black Lightning, who clung to Izanami's belly and represented the dark thunderclouds, Saku-ikazuchinote Cleaving Lightning, who crawled upon Izanami's abdomen and represented lightning's ability to split trees in two, Waka-ikazuchinote Young Lightning, who clung to Izanami's left hand and represented distant thunder, when it was at its most tame and benign, Tsuchi-ikazuchinote Earth Lightning, who sat upon Izanami's right hand and represented the bolts that struck all the way down into the ground, Naru-ikazuchinote Roaring Lightning, who clung to Izanami's left foot and represented the tremulous thunderclap and Fusu-ikazuchinote Squatting Lightning, who crawled upon Izanami's right foot and represented lightning that flashed up in the clouds as well as the residual energy left by thunderstorms. | |

The Great Serpent | |
| God of Thunder / int_81b53a1a | comment |
Yurlungur from Yolngu tradition is often lumped into the "Rainbow Serpent" category. True to this being a useless umbrella term, this particular deity is associated with lightning, a trait none of the other "rainbow serpents" have. | |

Ancient Astronauts | |
| God of Thunder / int_aa4fa3d5 | comment |
The Wandjina from Western Australian cultures (appropriatly called the "Wandjina-Wungurr" complex) are associated with lightning flashes and bring about rain. Many depictions that boobs assumed to be Ancient Astronauts are actually crowns made of lightning bolts. | |

Orochi | |
| God of Thunder / int_adbe6c5d | comment |
Susanoo-no-Mikoto is the Shinto god of storms and the younger brother of Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun. He was originally an angry and destructive god, his tantrums having caused devastation in both the Heavens and the Earth. His father Izanagi banished him to Earth for his troubles (particularly for his harassment of Amaterasu), where Susanoo would later perform many great feats—such as the slaying of the Orochi, for example—and would go on to become a beloved folk hero in Japan. | |

Zeus is the God of Thunder and the King of Olympus. He is also the father of Kratos, making him an Arch Nemesis Dad to the God of War. | |

Magic Staff | |
| God of Thunder / int_c97ca4d8 | comment |
The most recurring lightning summon is Ramuh, who's depicted as a wizened sage with a great flowing beard and a Magic Staff. His signature ability is "Judgement Bolt" to further his status as a godly figure striking down his enemies. | |

Crossover Cosmology | |
| God of Thunder / int_ea8168f | comment |
The Crossover Cosmology aspect is explored in Thor: Love and Thunder where Thor calls himself the God of Thunder and Zeus the God of Lightning (Zeus even notes "But is not thunder just the sound of lightning?"). Thor looks up to Zeus rather than seeing him as a rival until he realizes that Zeus cares more about his orgies than stopping gods from being wiped out. | |

Blow You Away | |
| God of Thunder / int_eea93c96 | comment |
Similarly the Tasmanian Rageowrapper literally means "lightning" and can cause storms. However, his primary role is as the god of the west wind and all the evil things. | |
