Two conjoined twins hailing from Southeast Asia were taken to a magician and separated. The magician learned they also possessed destructive powers. As teenagers, they called themselves Thunder and Lightning and roamed the planet searching for fun and amusement. After going unchecked, they developed a superiority complex. The brothers appeared at Jump City and wrecked havoc on the Bay Bridge until the Teen Titans intervened. Beast Boy reasoned with Thunder who hesitated to keep using his power but Lightning escaped the scene with him in tow. Soon after, Thunder and Lightning were manipulated by Slade into creating a giant fire beast bent on destroying Jump City. The brothers observed how the Teen Titans used their powers to protect and followed in kind by summoning a rain storm to dissipate the monster.

They were made honorary Titans in the aftermath. Years later, after the worldwide test of the Titans Communicator, Thunder and Lightning were attacked by Overload, Steamroller, and Instigator. The duo was defeated and brought to Paris where they were frozen in place by the Brotherhood of Evil. They were later defrosted and joined in the final battle between the Titans and the Brotherhood.
