The CW’s slate of DC Comics shows are getting ready to come back to the network this month and with those returns comes a new series ready to join the growing lineup, Black Lightning.

Not only is Black Lightning going to debut along with the other show, but a new villain has been added to the cast of the series and she has roots in the comics themselves.
