Trini February 14, 2021 Author Share February 14, 2021 New character coming: Quote Wale isn’t the only member of Black Lightning’s rogues' gallery that will be making an appearance. La La is still running the 100, and Gravedigger’s shapeshifting abilities he acquired in the season finale mean he might be anyone or anywhere. Akil also teased a new character for this final season that will challenge the Pierces once again. “Ishmael is a new character that we're going to see, and he's from the comics.” Quote The DC Comic’s version of Ishmael was created by Bryan Edward Hill and Dexter Soy. A member of the League of Assassins Ishmael could leach power from other metas. We'll have to wait and see if his onscreen counterpart will share the same power set. On team Black Lightning, familiar faces like Grace (Jennifer Thuy), T.C. (Christopher A'mmannuel), and meta earthbender Brandon (Jahking Guillory) will all make appearances in this final season of the show. Along with newcomer Melissa De Sousa who joined the cast during the premiere as new Freelance Chief of Police Anna Lopez. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/black-lightning-showrunner-talks-final-season-painkiller-spinoff-and-teases-ishmael Link to comment

Trini March 26, 2021 Author Share March 26, 2021 4.07 synopsis, AKA the backdoor pilot for Painkiller: Quote "Painkiller" - PAINKILLER - Khalil Payne (Jordan Calloway) is a young man ridden with the guilt of his troubled past from his former life in Freeland City, where, as a super-enhanced killing machine known as Painkiller, he was both a member of Tobias Whale's gang and a weapon of Agent Odell and the shadowy ASA. After attempting to bury the darker, devastatingly lethal Painkiller part of his persona, Khalil has distanced himself away from everyone he knows and loves in a new city, Akashic Valley, in order to find peace... but peace never comes easy for men with pasts like Khalil Payne and Painkiller.
