'Black Lightning' Reveals First Look at Nafessa Williams' Thunder

With Black Lightning‘s premiere less than two weeks away, the series has unveiled a first look at Thunder!

Nafeesa Williams plays eldest daughter Anissa, and her crime fighting alter-ego is just as amazing and cool as you’d imagine.

We’ll learn in the series premiere that Anissa is a metahuman just like her father, Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning.

The new series centers on Jefferson (Cress Williams), a retired electricity-powered superhero who spends his days working as principal of a charter school. However, he gets drawn back into the tights-wearing game when his daughters get targeted by the local 100 gang.

Now, we’ll be patiently waiting over here to see China Anne McClain‘s superhero identity…

Black Lightning premieres on Tuesday, January 16th @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.
