China Anne McClain suits up as Black Lightning’s newest superhero

December 14th, 2018 by Marc Comments

Well, The CW has released a first look at Black Lightning’s newest hero… Lightning!

Yup, actress China Anne McClain AKA Jennifer Pierce in the show, will be suiting up next year for Black Lightning.

The suit now fits well with those of Black Lightning’s and Thunder’s as I demonstrate below with some photoshop jiggery-pokery:

In the comics Lightning is basically a being of pure energy, so we can understand why they went the super-suit direction for the character.

So Jennifer is officially a CW superhero… that’s pretty cool.

Thoughts?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
