Everyone's a humanoid bird, so this one is a hawk. As homage to Kamen Rider where most powers of Kamen Riders originate or relate to their enemies, this said hawk uses power of electricity after surviving an "electric storm" made by the horde of humanoid electricity men.

I was originally thinking of Thunderbird but then I don't want to commit the "thunder is lightning" error.

Zapdos. [lol]

When in doubt, try different languages. :P

Blitz, Fulgur, Bliksem.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

Man, how come lightning doesn't sound as catchy as thunder? I mean, Thunder Hawk, Thunder Bird, etc. sound much better and easier to roll with the tongue than lightning!

Yeah but you're a superhero name, simply citing foreign names without being generally heard of (i.e. compare blitz to blesk) kinda lacks the oomph.

I might succumb to Thunderbird.

Personally, I actually liked sHawk, even if it's maybe the wrong kind of gimmicky for this purpose.

As for me, I'd suggest these, organized from least-of-a-copout to most-of-a-copout:

Lightwing.

Shockhawk.

Thunderhunter. (Or, as two words: "Thunder Hunter".) Or, combined, "Thunter".

Thundertalon. (Or, as two words, "Thunder Talon".)
