Thundermonkey

Thundermonkey is described at Wikipedia:No Heroics#Supporting characters
Simon was used as an example by Vitruvian in 2010 based on how he has summonable allies who take a long time to get to him (2.5 hours, later 40 minutes) which was very inconvenient.
P121 Animal Control power "Allies (animals), with Summonable" fits this.
Summonable says on P41 that "The GM determines how long it takes summoned beings to appear" and "animals might need to reach the summoner on foot" fits Thundermonkey to a T. This creates a problem for specifics:
:"variability makes most modifiers that affect time requirements inappropriate"
Vitruvian used this to suggest the possibility of taking the Onset limitation for Allies.
P95 under Alternatives for Illusion says "conjure material creations" includes Allies w/ Summonable for creatures.
