After the events surrounding the Wellspring, the current team disbanded. M.A.C.H.-4 and the Fixer were offered jobs from the Commission on Superhuman Activities. Blizzard was released from jail and left the team. Atlas was de-ionized after his encounter with the Wellspring and remained in his enlarged state while Smuggler, his suit destroyed, took care of him. Joystick was imprisoned for her actions during the Wellspring debacle and Speed Demon ran away to avoid arrest. Only Songbird, Moonstone, Swordsman and the Radioactive Man (now confined to a protective suit to control the extra radiation he absorbed), remained on the team.
In the wake of Civil War, the Thunderbolts are employed by the United States government, acting as special marshals for the Commission on Superhuman Affairs. Supported by positive media coverage and a range of children's toys, they appear to enjoy a degree of public support, despite the criminal records of the team's members. The team operates out of Thunderbolts Mountain where they deploy in a vehicle called the Zeus, with one or more T-Wagons accompanying to transport prisoners.
