Thunderbird & Warpath

How does the brothers compare? I know Thunderbird had some degree of super strength and agility, but did he have more powers? And i really have no idea at what levels. Could he compare to Luke Cage? Spider-man? Beast? Wolverine?

And so for his little brother, Warpath. At some point he seemed to be quite the powerhouse with class 90 strength, the ability to fly, superlevel senses and super speed and maybe more? Nowadays he seems far less formidable but again, i have no idea to what degree. Is it the same now as his older brother? Do we know what happened to his über powers?

Thanks, great as usual Monolith! You wrote he had instinctive hunting and tracking skills, but what does this mean? Is it a power or a skill? Does it mean that he was like Wolverine with heighted sences, or that he just knew how to track and hunt, similar to Spider-man and his spider sense when danger is near? Does Warpath have this to?

It would be nice to see a Thunderbird vs Kraven - hunt show off!

He definitely has heightened senses of perception. That's why Sledge chose him to breach the dimensions and bring back Vanisher. James was less likely to succumb to sensory overload since he already perceived things on a greater spectrum than humans. His physical endurance was another reason for Sledge's choice.

I read somewhere, I think wikipedia, that James is embarrassed by his ability to fly and that's why he's not seeing using it anymore.

Well, there's some slight evidence to suggest that is the case. During Messiah War, somebody mentioned Warpath flying and he quickly hushed them. So while he may or may not still retain the ability, there is evidence that he is/was indeed embarrassed by it.

He did, and he also "flew" out the torture device to which Stryfe had him strapped in that same crossover.

He also just might feel ridiculous doing it. James has never been one of the more super-hero oriented mutants. He was a freedom fighter and a covert operative most of the time.

He already wears spandex, it's possible the flying would be too far over the line of Superhero Cheese for him.
