Lt. Surge (Japanese: マチス Matisse) is the Gym Leader of the Vermilion City Gym. He hands out the Thunderbadge to trainers who defeat him. He is a former soldier, and is a native of the United States of America. He specializes in Electric-type Pokémon.
In the Anime
Lt. Surge is very large, arrogant, loud, and crude. He refers to all trainers as "baby" until they manage to defeat him. Lt. Surge generally looks down on unevolved Pokémon, preferring to evolve them as soon as possible.
His Raichu shares many of his personality traits, also appearing to be rather tough.
Lt. Surge's fatal flaw was that he evolved Pokémon too quickly without taking the time to teach them the proper attacks. Even though he managed to defeat Ash and his Pikachu once with pure power, Pikachu was able to use speed-altering moves like Agility to get the best of Raichu.
In the anime, the Vermilion Gym appears to be a warehouse decorated with stylized lighting bolts.

In the Games
Lt. Surge's title is The Lightning American. Electric-type Pokémon saved his life during a war. In the Army, Surge was a strict CO, and was rather cautious. He was a pilot as well, and used Electric-type Pokémon to power his planes. Also, Surge saved the life of one of the trainers in his gym back when they were in the Army.
A little paranoid, Lt. Surge installed a series of traps in the gym.
Lt. Surge takes a liking to trainers with a lot of guts.
In addition to the Thunderbadge, Lt. Surge gives out TM 24, Thunderbolt, in Pokémon Red, Blue, Pokémon Green, and Pokémon Yellow. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, he gives out TM 34, Shock Wave.
