| 2 | ** Creator/JuddWinick's first issue of ''ComicBook/Outsiders2003'' introduces us to Black Lightning's daughter Anissa, who ends up becoming the heroine Thunder. [[RememberTheNewGuy His 20-something year old daughter whom had never been seen or mentioned in any prior series featuring Black Lightning, despite his wife being a fairly prominent figure in many stories]]. Creator/GeoffJohns then took this even further in his ''[[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica JSA]]'' run by introducing us to ''another'' previously-unseen daughter, Jennifer. |
| 3 | ** Jennifer had been foreshadowed in BadFuture story ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''. This still qualifies as an Ass Pull by virtue of Black Lightning having no references to children just a short time before this, and his age in ComicBook/{{The Outsiders|DCComics}} comics previously being about Batman's age at the oldest. [[ComicBookTime He'd have already had to father these women by the time of his introduction.]] |
| 4 | * FairForItsDay: The first series features a lot of stereotypical elements that can come off as a bit silly and dated in the modern day, but at the time, it was one of the more subversive takes, and it's very clear that Isabella had DC's horrid initial pitch in mind. Jefferson Pierce is heroic, well-spoken, a trained athlete, and very intelligent, and it's made clear that the JiveTurkey persona he uses is just that: a persona. Of course, nowadays, people would just write the well-spoken smart guy without needing to bother with the constant slang. |
