Black Lightning (2018 — 2021)

The series focuses on Jefferson Pierce, the principal of Garfield High School in the city of Freeland, Georgia. Nine years ago, he was a superhero called Black Lightning until he retired after what his life was doing to his ex-wife Lynn Stewart and his daughters Anissa and Jennifer. Jefferson is forced to become Black Lightning again when The 100, Freeland’s most feared criminal gang led by Tobias Whale, was taking over the city. Jefferson’s return as Black Lightning is caused when Anissa and Jennifer were captured by 100 members associated with Latavius “Lala” Jackson. After the incident, Anissa starts to develop her abilities and becomes Thunder while Jennifer starts to develop her own electrical abilities. In addition, Jennifer’s boyfriend Khalil Payne gets swayed to Tobias’ side following a sniper injury and becomes Painkiller through cybernetic enhancements. In a showdown with A.S.A. member Martin Proctor, Jennifer defeats him with Proctor getting shot by Gambi. Proctor’s briefcase enables Tobias to get access to its contents.

In season two, Jennifer works to improve her powers as Tobias works to translate the contents of the briefcase. With Freeland Police Department’s Bill Henderson now knowing Jefferson and Anissa’s superhero identities, they continues their fight against the 100. Meanwhile, Lynn works on the young metahumans in the pods that Proctor had while under the supervision of A.S.A. agent Odell who has swayed ex-Markovian scientist Dr. Helga Jace into helping out, unaware that she is secretly helping Tobias out.
