Characters
Main
- Phoebe Thunderman (Kira Kosarin) is a superheroine twin to Max and older sister to Billy, Nora, and Chloe. Her superhero alias is Thunder Girl. She is very responsible, a straight A student, and tries to play by the "no powers" rule. She has telekinesis, freeze breath, and heat breath. In "Thundersense", Phoebe develops a new ability called Thundersense, which warns her if herself and others are in danger. At the beginning of the series, Phoebe is 14 years old.[2]
- Max Thunderman (Jack Griffo) is a supervillain twin to Phoebe and older brother to Billy, Nora, and Chloe. He wants to attend Villain University when he gets older. His basement bedroom serves as his evil lair and it is also where he keeps Dr. Colosso, a supervillain Thunder Man turned into a rabbit. He has the same powers as Phoebe, and like his twin sister, he is 14 at the beginning of the series.[2]
- Nora Thunderman (Addison Riecke) is the second youngest of the Thunderman family and a mischievous little sister to Phoebe, Max, and Billy and older sister to Chloe. Her superpower is laser vision. She can easily recruit Billy into any scheme of hers, as she scares him a bit.
- Billy Thunderman (Diego Velazquez) is the third-born Thunderman child. He is an energetic little brother to Phoebe and Max and older brother to Nora and Chloe. His superpower is super-speed.
- Hank Thunderman (Chris Tallman) is the husband to Barb and father to Phoebe, Max, Billy, Nora, and Chloe. His superhero alias is Thunder Man. His superpowers are flying and super-strength. He has now half-unwillingly retired as a superhero in order to give his kids a stable and normal home. He still uses his powers to fly to places around the world.
- Barb Thunderman (Rosa Blasi) is the wife to Hank and mother to Phoebe, Max, Billy, Nora, and Chloe. Her superhero alias is Electress. Her superpower is controlling electricity and lightning. Unlike her husband, she is completely okay with leaving her superheroine life behind. She does, however, agree with Hank that Max is going through a supervillain "phase" that needs to end.
Recurring
- Chloe Thunderman (Maya Le Clark) is the youngest Thunderman child and baby sister to Phoebe, Max, Billy, and Nora. Barb gave birth to her in "A Hero is Born". Chloe's babyhood superpower was making bubbles, and her current permitted superpower is teleportation.
- Dr. Colosso (Dana Snyder) is one of the world's greatest villains and Hank's former nemesis until Hank transformed him into a rabbit while still Thunder Man. He is kept in Max's bedroom. It is shown that he likes Max very much. In "A Hero Is Born", Dr. Colosso was temporarily turned back to his human form so he could go get an award. His puppet is performed by Stephen, Edward, & Charles Chiodo.
- Cherry (Audrey Whitby) is Phoebe's best friend who is bubbly, tech-savvy, dimwitted, and unaware that the Thundermans have superpowers. However, in "A Hero Is Born", she learns all about their superpowers. It is implied that she has a crush on Max.
- Cousin Blobbin (Harvey Guillen) is the sidekick of Barb's deceased millionaire Uncle Wilfred. In his will, Wilfred left his enormous fortune and mansion for Blobbin. Blobbin is very sensitive, but, at the same time, extremely devoted to family and usually helps the Thundermans in whatever way he can.
- Mrs. Wong (Helen Hong) is the owner of a pizza restaurant who is never nice to anyone, especially to the Thundermans. In her debut, Phoebe and Max take up jobs in her restaurant, but end getting fired after they inadvertently destroy her kitchen, thus igniting her contempt for the twins and their family.
- Oyster (Tanner Stine) is a guitarist boy who is in Max's new band as of "Pheebs Will Rock You". Phoebe initially had a crush on him until she learned that he is somewhat crazy.
- Gideon (Kenny Ridwan) is a boy in Max's new band.
- Madison (Brooke Sorenson) is a cheerleader at Hiddenville High. She is the head of the cheerleading squad and often calls for cheer chats with the other cheerleaders.

- Principal Bradford (Jeff Meacham) is Hiddenville High's principal.
- Link Evilman (Barrett Carnahan) is Phoebe's boyfriend who is the son of Hank's former supervillain nemesis, Evilman. His superpower is elasticity.
- Super President Kickbutt (Daniele Gaither) is the president of the Hero League. She alerts the Thundermans of any supervillians in the area and also presents superheroes their capes.
