Thunder Drop is one of Cole's many super powers. Cole jumps from a high place, charges his body with electricity, then hits the ground at full force, sending a shockwave of energy in all direction to all enemies.
It's been theorized that Cole, while in mid air, collects the natural electrons from the atom particles of normal air. The longer he stays in contact with the wind during his fall, the more electrons he gathers and the more damage the move does when it hits the ground.
Usage
Concept Art of Cole performing a Thunder Drop onto a vehicle.
Thunder Drop is mainly used to finish group of enemies below while you are on the top of a building or simply a platform. Since Thunder Drop has large area of effect, it should be used very carefully if you are at Guardian, Champion or Hero rank since it is most likely that it can injure or kill civilians around you. The longer you stay in air/the longer time you take to charge up the drop the more damage you can produce.

Trivia
Evil Cole MacGrath, performing a Thunder Drop.
- This attack's name could be a play on the move "Thunder Flop", which is an attack used by Murray, a character from the Sly Cooper Series.
- Because of it's destructive nature, this power is best suited for an evil playthrough or for crowd clearing.
- This power can be used horizontally using trains and grinding.
- Several stunts involve the Thunder Drop, such as using the Lightning Bolt ability to soften an enemy up and finishing it with a Thunder Drop, and also finishing off an Infantry Conduit using the power.
- There is a Trophy named Drop Everything for Thunder Dropping for at least 500 meters.
- An advantage of Thunder Drop is using it with the Polarity Wall.
- In Infamous 2, the Amp is used while subsequently performing the Thunder Drop.
- Also, when performed in a lower altitude, the Thunder Drop action will be changed to Cole simply slamming the Amp onto the surface.
- In early footage of Infamous 2, when cole used the Amp in conjuction with thunderdrop he appeared to stab the amp into the ground, though in the final version of the game this was removed for some unknown reason.
