Black Lightning: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Black Lightning was Jefferson Pierce, who grew up in a slum in Metropolis, made good as an athlete, and returned to his old neighborhood to teach at the high school and help the next generation make something of themselves. Finding the neighborhood in the grip of organised crime, he became a costumed superhero equipped with a belt that gave him [[Shock and Awe|electrical powers]]. Later in his career, as so often happens, he developed the ability to manifest the powers without the belt.

Black Lightning has not appeared in any other media until recently, when the Outsiders appeared in ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]''. Since then he has also appeared in the animated movies ''[[Superman/Batman: Public Enemies]]'' and ''[[Justice League Crisis On Two Earths]]'' and the ''[[DC Universe Online]]'' video game. It has been noted that the history of DC Comics spin-offs also includes several characters that [[Captain Ersatz|could have been Black Lightning but for some reason weren't]], including Black Vulcan in ''[[Superfriends]]'' and Soul Power in an episode of ''[[Static Shock]]''.
