  • After his scientist brother, Danny, is murdered by Nazi scientists, sideshow strongman Randy Steele changes professions, using his own scientific expertise to create several fantastic devices and becomes the costumed crimefighter Thunderfist. From an underground base at the northernmost reaches of Maine, he listens to radio news reports, then ventures out to stop crooks and spies. Thunderfist, also known as the Mighty Man of Mystery, only ventured to Canada once to briefly visit Toronto in one of his later appearances. He was aided by his girlfriend and partner, Beverley Holmes.
  • Thunderfist was an artifact lucern hammer (pronged polearm) with similar properties to the modern Mjollnir. It existed only in versions 3.0.0, 3.0.1 and 3.0.2. NetHack 3.0.0 was the first version to implement unique artifacts (so no more multiple Snickersnees), and featured several new artifacts, among them the lucern hammers named Thunderfist and Ogresmasher. It seems that the DevTeam forgot that a "lucern hammer" is a polearm, not to be swung as a mallet, but to be thrust at a distant enemy; it was perhaps an error to choose "lucern hammer" as the base type for both weapons. In NetHack 3.0.3, the DevTeam added a new weapon type, the war hammer, switched Thunderfist and Ogresmasher to the new type, and renamed Thunderfist to Mjollnir.

We are not sure of the origin of the name "Thunderfist", but it appears in multiple computer games of the fantasy genre; the name tends to have association with both dwarves and fighting. Angband has an artifact, the Two-Handed Flail 'Thunderfist'.
