Hi thunderfam, it’s been a while =) Today I thought, why not talk a little bit about a theory concerning something we have barely discussed in the fandom: The Thundertwins joint power!
We all know Phoebe and Max did hold each other’s hand before (”Are You Afraid Of The Park?” on the roller coaster for example), so let’s look at how exactly it happened:
Max took Phoebe’s hand and not even half a second later:
Their twin power is already unlocked. It didn’t take a lot of concentration or a long time. They also immediately know how to use it, as if it was a part of them all along. The way they move to destroy Belfort’s controler resembles other scenes where they joined both their telekinetic blasts to e.g. lift a heavy object/ create a force field.
It’s clearly some kind of electromagnetic force field and a bit simliar to Electrice’s powers, which is something I was especially happy about =)))
Because it was unlocked so suddenly, Barb’s theory of their heavy emotions in this particular moment being the key seems very likely.
But there’s one other thing, a tiny little detail that could have something to do with it also:
All Thundermans are supposed to be powerless, because Belfort controls them via his microchips. Shortly before, he made use of Chloe’s teleportation power to imprison Max with his family.
Chloe’s power has something special about it. It’s the only power that can be transferred from her to another person BY TOUCH. She’s not creating a portal for someone else to walk through to teleport them,she’s giving the other person the power to teleport directly with her.
Normally, when Chloe teleports with more than one person, she’s in the middle and everyone else around her.
As everybody starts to hold hands, Max and Phoebe still stand apart from each other. Chloe can’t teleport anymore, because Belfort deactivated her power again...but did this deactivate her power transfer ability as well?
In this picture, everyone is already in contact, except for Max and Phoebe (even Chloe is like: guys, what are you waiting for???). And then:
To finally conclude: This is not the first time Max and Phoebe held hands, but it’s the first time they did while - even though over a bridge of several people- Chloe’s is also in touch with them. Could it not be that her ability to share her power, transferred to Barb Hank,Billy, Nora, finally to Phoebe and Max?
Once this connection was created, Phoebe and Max could use it on their own. The difference: while Chloe can hold someone’s hand and then decide to share her ability, Phoebe’s and Max’s twin power is now unlocked automatically when their palms touch. This could be a hint that this is not normal power transfer, but a unique bridge between them. And it was created right there.
