Black Lighting is based on the DC Comics superhero. He has the power to hold electricity in his bare hands. That’s how he fights crime, bad guys, gangs with guns.
Black Lighting beats up the bad guys one lightning bolt at a time.
But Black Lightning is a reluctant superhero. Those superpowers break down his body and broke up his marriage.
So he’s trying to suppress the electric power. He’s working as a high school principal. Instead of fighting crime, he’s trying to instill education in young people.
When he does use his electric ways, Black Lightning is a superhero for social justice.
He’s on a mission to make the world a better place. He’s a good guy. He’s a good guy in a bad world.
It’s the kind of world that needs a little extra electricity for one of the good guys.
