Jefferson Pierce (Earth-1)

Jefferson Pierce protects the city of Freeland as the powered hero, Black Lightning.

Electric Ace
During his time protecting Freeland, Pierce's heroic escapades have brought him into conflict with the likes of Painkiller, and The 100 gang, led by Latavious Johnson.

Black Lightning: Painkiller
When the 100 gang's leader Latavious was usurped by Painkiller, the gang's first actions were to kidnap the mayor of Freeland, MacNair Chapin, and hold him for ransom. Black Lightning was quick to respond to the situation, offering his assistance to the FPD and Chief Bill Henderson. Using the tech in his visor to examine the goons in the building, Lightning devised a plan of attack for himself and the police, to take down the gang, and return Mayor Chapin safely. The plan backfired slightly, as one cop was killed and another was injured, with Painkiller managing to engage Lightning in a brutal battle. The result, however, ended as planned, with Painkiller and the 100 being defeated, and the Mayor being returned safely.
