Phoebe Thunderman (The Thundermans)

Phoebe Monica Rachel Thunderman is one of two protagonists from the 2013 Nickelodeon live-action sitcom The Thundermans, with the other being her twin brother Max Thunderman.

Her superhero name is ThunderGirl. Phoebe was portrayed by Kira Kosarin.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) Despite being a superhero, she barely fights crime at all during the series and cares more about teenage drama and her friends than doing that.
 * 2) We're supposed to see her as the responsible member of the family, but she's no better than Max in terms of mischief and willingness to get what she wants. In fact, some might argue that she's worse than him since she never gets punished for her actions like Max does, which means she's a Karma Houdini.
 * 3) She and her twin brother are bad influences on Billy and Nora (their younger siblings), as well as Chloe.
 * 4) She can be an unlikable jerk at times (especially towards Max).
 * 5) She's a total control freak, as shown by her wanting to keep her perfect attendance streak, and never giving her brother a chance to speak out because she sees herself as superior. This also shows that she doesn't seem to care for Max.
 * 6) She's a total Mary Sue who's always portrayed in the right, even when she makes a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes.
 * 7) Phoebe is your standard nerdy, girly teenager who loves fashion, school, makeup, and social media.
 * 8) She's supposed to be 14 in the series, but she looks more like an 18-year-old.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There are some instances where she does actually fight crime and act supportive towards/protect her family.
 * 2) She and Max get called out for their actions by Billy and Nora in "Are You Afraid of the Park?".
 * 3) She got a slight improvement in season 4 but that’s not saying much since she is very flawed in that season too.
 * 4) Despite her age, Kira Kosarin did a great job playing her.

Trivia

 * Her first three names, “Phoebe Monica Rachel”, are inspired by three characters on Friends, Phoebe, Monica and Rachel.
