    On the topic of Black Lightning costumes part one:
    I have an attachment to the modernized suit from the Tony Isabella/Eddy Newell revival of the 90s. I'd swap the color blocking a bit but it hits a lot of the right notes for me, representing him as a street level hero of experience.
    In particular I like the lightning flare acting as a "mask" instead of goggles etc...


    Secondly on the costume issue:
    I had NO idea that his original costume included a wig. The bolder afro being part of his disguise from being mild manner teacher Jefferson Pierce to the larger than life hero
    ... Before Batwoman...there was BLACK LIGHTNING!

    my favorite Black Lightning design is pretty much a tie between the second CW design and the Young Justice: Outsiders design



    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    I was hesitant about them Manhattan-ifying Jefferson in Future State but I do like the idea of Jefferson being cursed as an Elemental and I really dug the Black Lightning/Signal dynamic duo at the end, teaming up to cure him. while I wouldn't want him as an electric man in modern day for too long, I wouldn't mind a limited series following him getting cursed and them going on the journey to cure it.

    We were having a discussion in another thread that gave me this idea for Black Lightning. I'm not a fan of the metagene so I was trying to come up with a more rich explanation for his powers. Tell me what you think.

    What if when Jefferson Pierce was growing up he had a Doc Brown/ Marty Mcfly type relationship with a neglected black scientist in his neighbourhood that wanted to empower his community. That scientist was building an experimental battery in his garage that could power the entire city district for decades to come. A 12 year old Jefferson Pierce works as his assistant and learns from this scientist the idea of black pride. As the project goes on the scientist discovers that this new type of energy he is channelling in his garage can interact with our own bio-electricity. He is a creating a "black lightning" that that can heal and strengthen the human body. When he finally works out the kinks of this incredible battery, he is emprisioned by the government and his creation is stolen.

    But Jefferson Pierce, his kid assistant, kept a mini version of the battery for himself. As the years go on Jefferson secretly uses the battery to heal people from the crime and police violence in his district, and to give electritcity to his friends when they can't pay the electric bill. Eventually the battery dies out and stops working. It doesn't matter anymore, because from prolonged exposure to it Jefferson gained that bio electricity within his own body. He is Black Lightning. And you can keep everything else about his origin story as well.

    I actually think his powers should be magic-based like was hinted at in Year One.
