Bio

Ali Bombay, codename Lightning, is a motorcycle racer from Kandukar, India, who joins the team in the second season. He rides Bullet, a blue and white Suzuki racing bike that becomes a drone, with the Vortex mask. Brian George voices him.

Ali Bombay is an immigrant from Kandukar, India, a motorcycle racer who joins the team in the second season. Brian George voices him, and also V.E.N.O.M.’s Lester Sludge.

His vehicle is Bullet, a blue and white Suzuki racing motorcycle that becomes a drone. Its first appearance is in episode 68. His mask, Vortex, creates whirlwinds. The vehicle was renamed Bandit in Europe.

The racing season lists him with the other drivers. Like Nevada Rushmore and Boris Bushkin, he is a racing-era addition, so a reader coming from the first season will not have met him.

Masks worn

  • VortexCreates controlled whirlwinds that throw objects about or dig a hole.
