Page "Static Shock" Paragraph 34

* Thomas Kim / Tantrum ( John Cho ) – A gifted student whose demanding father pushed him to over-achieve in school.

After the Big Bang, whenever Thomas gets angry or upset, it causes him to transform into a large, purple-skinned, orange-haired creature ( resembling Marvel's Hulk ) which has great strength and is impervious to pain.

This creature is driven by anger and stress, causing him to seek out the object of his ire.

His rampages were stopped by Static, who let one of these tantrums run its course, then told Thomas ' parents about his condition so they can help him with his stress.

It is unknown if he was one of the Bang Babies who was exposed to the cure and, if he was, infected again.

Thomas ' overall appearance, social interaction, personality and intellect seems to be based on Bruce Banner, the Hulks alter ego.

Likewise Tantrum, the purple monster Thomas turns into, appearance-wise, powers, low intellect, behavior and speech patterns is based on Marvel's Hulk.
