He became a brilliant physicist and engineer, inventing a miniature gamma-ray bomb, a feat that Bruce Banner (better known as the <a href="/wiki/Hulk" title="Hulk">Hulk</a>) had begun groundwork in but never finished. Franklin was often called "the Black Bruce Banner" because of his <a href="/wiki/Genius" title="Genius">genius</a>-level intellect and his scientific knowledge in the field of <a href="/wiki/Gamma_radiation" class="mw-redirect" title="Gamma radiation">gamma radiation</a>. Franklin used his scientific genius in private employ and built a miniaturized gamma bomb for Richmond Enterprises. However, Richmond executive J. C. Pennysworth used a loophole in the contract to steal the gamma bomb intellectual property. Franklin threw a fit and was fired. He later attempted to steal back his plans for the gamma bomb, but was caught and imprisoned. In prison, he met Dirk Garthwaite (aka the <a href="/wiki/Wrecker_(comics)" title="Wrecker (comics)">Wrecker</a>, who was de-powered at that time), Henry Camp, and Brian Philip Calusky. </p><p>One night during a thunderstorm, Garthwaite broke out of prison, along with his cellmates Henry Camp, Brian Philip Calusky, and Dr. Eliot Franklin. He recovered his magical crowbar and held it aloft, all four men placing their hands upon it. Lightning struck the crowbar, not only reactivating the enchantment but also empowering the other three men as well. The four felons dubbed themselves the Wrecking Crew; Camp became <a href="/wiki/Bulldozer_(character)" title="Bulldozer (character)">Bulldozer</a>, Calusky became <a href="/wiki/Piledriver_(character)" title="Piledriver (character)">Piledriver</a>, and Franklin became <b>Thunderball</b>. Soon after, Thunderball took an ordinary wrecking ball for an offensive weapon which was energized by the Wrecker's crowbar, making it almost indestructible. </p><p>Thunderball then convinced his allies that they should capture the gamma bomb he had created and use it to ransom New York. They began to tear apart buildings owned by Richmond Enterprises to find the bomb, attracting the attention of the <a href="/wiki/Defenders_(comics)" title="Defenders (comics)">Defenders</a>, including <a href="/wiki/Nighthawk_(Marvel_Comics)" title="Nighthawk (Marvel Comics)">Nighthawk</a> (Kyle Richmond himself).
