* {{Expy}}: Keeping in line with the show's Biblical motifs, Fowdy is Judas Iscariot - not only is she working for the ASA as a "spotter" for metahuman activity, once she finds out that Jefferson is Black Lightning, she sells him out to the cops on their behalf.
* FindingJudas: She's forced to have Jefferson arrested on trumped up drug charges, yet is very uncomfortable with it. Like the TropeNamer, Fowdy comes to regret her betrayal and finds out the hard way that it can't be so easily undone.
* {{Foil}}: To Gambi. Both were ASA spotters. The difference is that Gambi shows genuine remorse over his actions and wishes to atone, while Fowdy does not and merely wished to avoid the consequences of her actions.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Suffers no consequences for kidnapping her own students, even when Proctor's rogue operations are unveiled at the end of Season One. Subverted in Season Two, where she's well aware it's only a matter of time before somebody uncovers her role in Proctor's scheme and is desperate to leave the ASA before it happens. [[spoiler:She ends up dead]].
* MoralMyopia: She hates how her ASA superiors forced her to betray Jefferson, but shows no sign of guilt for turning her students over to the ASA. She claims to Gambi that she had no idea that Proctor's operation was rogue; [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Gambi pointedly asks her how much of a difference that's supposed to make]].
* OutOfFocus: She gets very little attention until "Sins of the Father: The Book of Redemption" when it's revealed she's working for the ASA as a spotter.
* RetiredMonster: What she aspires to be in Season Two.
* WalkingSpoiler: Certain plot points in season one become difficult to talk about with regards to Fowdy.

* BeingEvilSucks: She wants '''out''' of the ASA in Season Two when the whole ugly truth of Proctor's operation comes to light.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Despite being the vice principal, Jefferson treats her like his secretary.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She seems like a harassed if nice lady, but is actually an ASA spotter - she turns in her own students who exhibit metahuman activity. Worse, she's completely aware they're being kept in stasis, and doesn't so much as bat an eye.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Dies a painful but inevitable as a result of her internal injuries from jumping out of Tobias' window plus the harpoon in her stomach.]]
* DarkActionGirl: She reveals herself as this Season Two displaying previously unseen combat and espionage skills -- she's proficient enough to kill [[spoiler:Syonide...but not enough to kill Tobias Whale.]]
* DeepCoverAgent: She's uses her job as vice principal to look for students who exhibit metahuman activity after taking Green Light then sell them out to the ASA.
* {{Determinator}}: Shows a borderline superhuman tolerance for pain in season 2; [[spoiler:after being harpooned in the gut, maintains enough self-control to run through a plate glass window and jump off a building to avoid being killed by Tobias Whale, even while screaming in agony from, not to harp on it, the ''harpoon in her gut''. Later turns up battered and unconscious but alive at Gambi's; it's unclear if she dragged herself there by sheer force of will before passing out or was left there by persons unknown.]]

His priorities are also called into question as his department is seemingly able to arrest protesters with no problem[[note]]Though he claims this is for their own safety; the police will be brutal, but he thinks it's better than the 100 killing the protesters, as they're liable to do so[[/note]], and he spent his career hunting the only man capable of making a difference against the 100, while being useless in actually combating them without him. However, the second episode reveals that there are cops on Whale's payroll meaning that Henderson isn't as impotent as he seems -- merely under siege from all fronts and trying to make the best of a bad situation. {{Averted}} in a later episode when he saves Black Lightning with old fashioned police work, while a flashier plan using super powers and advanced technology fails.

* FindingJudas: She's forced to havehaving deduced that it's Jefferson arrested on trumped up drug charges, yet Pierce. He is very uncomfortable with it. Like the TropeNamer, Fowdy comes to regret her betrayal and finds out the hard way that it can't be so easily undone.

* ApatheticTeacher: In "Just and Unjust" it's made abundantly clear he has no affection at all for his students, and in fact outright resents them for having opportunities in life that he never got at their age.
* DoubleStandard: Claims to be a victim of this, since his parents were drug addicts and he had to spend time sleeping on the street and eating dog food, yet because he wasn't black nobody felt sorry him (ignoring that plenty of kids black or white would get the same indifferent treatment due to the stigma of poverty and drug addiction).... so he takes out on his black students, who he flat admits he doesn't feel any sympathy for at all.

* {{Foil}} To Jefferson. Jefferson is stern, but fair and knows every kid in the building and makes a point of having meaningful discipline policies that are focused more on personal development that punishment. Lowry is apathetic, tyrannical, and doesn't seem to have much faith in his students and favors disastrous zero tolerance policies which cause more harm than good - i.e. kicking kids out to the street for minor infractions and into the hands of predatory street gangs.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: He had a rough time of it when he was younger, but as Jefferson points out, he's still got a lot more benefit of the doubt due to being white, despite his claims to the contrary and it's certainly not a good enough reason to take it out on the students.
* GreenEyedMonster: He seems envious on how much the students admire and respect Jefferson, while they almost universally despise him. On a personal level he resents how Jefferson had an award-winning journalist for a father, while all he got for a dad was a drug addict.
* HateSink: Immediately after becoming principal he starts undoing many of Jefferson's policies, including installing metal detectors at the entrances. Jefferson immediately starts hating his guts, although this evolves into pity when he learns why he acts this way.
* IRejectYourReality: He doesn't seem to understand or care about the racism his students and faculty face -- regardless of their social position; even a famous educator like Jefferson has to put up with the indignation and humiliation of police profiling, which Lowry despite his poor background never has and never will.

* LowerClassLout: His parents were drug addicts, and despite managing to become an educator he maintains the general attitude by how he treats his students and Jefferson, believing they've been given unfair advantages he never got and relishing the authority he has as principal over them -- he makes a point of Jefferson's dad being an award-winning journalist while his dad was a junkie.

* NoRespectGuy: Neither the staff nor students show him much respect due not only to Jefferson's popularity but his own disastrous policies and how he wanted his name to be addressed with ''Principal'' isn't really gonna earn him any respect either.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He institutes a zero tolerance policy and expels a student for getting into a fight. While he may think it's to keep the student body safe, such policies generally do more harm than good.

Deleted line(s) 27,56 (click to see context) :
* TheCommissionerGordon: Becomes this late in Season 1. He starts out as a high-ranking cop that will ''grudgingly'' work with Black Lightning if the situation warrants it, though he'll also try to arrest Black Lighting (and talk badly about him in public) if the opportunity arises. When certain events transpire, and Henderson must put his money where his mouth is, he hits a RankUp as a reward. Later, when he finds out about Gambi, he secretly calls on him for technical and investigative support.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:He’s fatally wounded after taking out every single Markovian soldier guarding the Pit and saving Jefferson from an ambush.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: He may be black and frustrated with the rampant racism in the department, but he will not tolerate any attack on racist officers.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In the black community, he's more or less become their scapegoat for everything wrong with the police. His dislike of Black Lightning also puts him at odds with the rest of his community who see him as their savior.
* FriendOnTheForce: Eventually becomes this, after he figures out Black Lightning's identity.[[spoiler: Becomes this again to the Resistance in Season 3.]]
* InspectorJavert: A more sympathetic example than most but he spent most of his career trying to arrest Black Lightning despite the good he was doing -- he wasn't being personally vindictive, he was just doing his job (though Black Lightning's tendency to attack racist cops might have something to do with it) . That said, he ''will'' accept Black Lightning's help in an off the books type-manner, but he's not overtly enthusiastic about it.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Fatally wounded in a gunfight with the Markovian soldiers guarding the Pit, though he manages to take all of them with him.]]
* PoliceAreUseless: Played with; he's treated sympathetically and Jefferson considers him a friend, but he's unable to either combat the 100 effectively or prevent his officers from engaging in racist abuse. His priorities are also called into question as his department is seemingly able to arrest protesters with no problem[[note]]Though he claims this is for their own safety; the police will be brutal, but he thinks it's better than the 100 killing the protesters, as they're liable to do so[[/note]], and he spent his career hunting the only man capable of making a difference against the 100, while being useless in actually combating them without him. However, the second episode reveals that there are cops on Whale's payroll meaning that Henderson isn't as impotent as he seems -- merely under siege from all fronts and trying to make the best of a bad situation. {{Averted}} in a later episode when he saves Black Lightning with old fashioned police work, while a flashier plan using super powers and advanced technology fails.
* RaceLift: The ''Superman'' version of Henderson is white.
* RankUp: At the beginning of the show he's an Inspector. But near the end of season one, after he uncovered Deputy Chief Clayman's corruption in the police force and him trying to frame [[HundredPercentAdorationRating Jefferson Pierce]], Clayman is arrested and Henderson becomes the new Deputy Chief.
* SecretKeeper: In Season 2, he deduces on his own who Black Lightning is, after linking Black Lightning's return to Jefferson Pierce's daughers' abduction. He quickly realizes then that Thunder must be close to Jefferson too.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Is often torn between the two. [[spoiler: In Season 3, he chooses 'good', as he becomes TheMole for the Resistance.]]
* {{Transplant}}: Played with; in the comics, Henderson is a supporting ComicBook/{{Superman}} character, a member of the Metropolis Police Department, but he also had run-ins with Black Lightning when the latter had his first comic book run.
* WhatTheHellHero: Early in Season 2, he confronts Black Lightning, having deduced that it's Jefferson Pierce. He is not happy about how many times Jefferson has lied to his friend.

* BeingEvilSucks: She wants '''out''' of the ASA in Season Two when the whole ugly truth of Proctor's operation comes to light.
* BeleagueredAssistant: Despite being the vice principal, Jefferson treats her like his secretary.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She seems like a harassed if nice lady, but is actually an ASA spotter - she turns in her own students who exhibit metahuman activity. Worse, she's completely aware they're being kept in stasis, and doesn't so much as bat an eye.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Dies a painful but inevitable as a result of her internal injuries from jumping out of Tobias' window plus the harpoon in her stomach.]]
* DarkActionGirl: She reveals herself as this Season Two displaying previously unseen combat and espionage skills -- she's proficient enough to kill [[spoiler:Syonide...but not enough to kill Tobias Whale.]]
* DeepCoverAgent: She's uses her job as vice principal to look for students who exhibit metahuman activity after taking Green Light then sell them out to the ASA.
* {{Determinator}}: Shows a borderline superhuman tolerance for pain in season 2; [[spoiler:after being harpooned in the gut, maintains enough self-control to run through a plate glass window and jump off a building to avoid being killed by Tobias Whale, even while screaming in agony from, not to harp on it, the ''harpoon in her gut''. Later turns up battered and unconscious but alive at Gambi's; it's unclear if she dragged herself there by sheer force of will before passing out or was left there by persons unknown.]]
* DirtyCoward: She's clearly not of physical confrontation, but seems completely unwilling to even entertain engaging in fights she knows she can't win: in Season Two, he's desperate to leave the ASA not out of remorse but to avoid her much deserved punishment.
* {{Expy}}: Keeping in line with the show's Biblical motifs, Fowdy is Judas Iscariot - not only is she working for the ASA as a "spotter" for metahuman activity, once she finds out that Jefferson is Black Lightning, she sells him out to the cops on their behalf.
* FindingJudas: She's forced to have Jefferson arrested on trumped up drug charges, yet is very uncomfortable with it. Like the TropeNamer, Fowdy comes to regret her betrayal and finds out the hard way that it can't be so easily undone.
* {{Foil}}: To Gambi. Both were ASA spotters. The difference is that Gambi shows genuine remorse over his actions and wishes to atone, while Fowdy does not and merely wished to avoid the consequences of her actions.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Suffers no consequences for kidnapping her own students, even when Proctor's rogue operations are unveiled at the end of Season One. Subverted in Season Two, where she's well aware it's only a matter of time before somebody uncovers her role in Proctor's scheme and is desperate to leave the ASA before it happens. [[spoiler:She ends up dead]].
* MoralMyopia: She hates how her ASA superiors forced her to betray Jefferson, but shows no sign of guilt for turning her students over to the ASA. She claims to Gambi that she had no idea that Proctor's operation was rogue; [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Gambi pointedly asks her how much of a difference that's supposed to make]].
* OutOfFocus: She gets very little attention until "Sins of the Father: The Book of Redemption" when it's revealed she's working for the ASA as a spotter.
* RetiredMonster: What she aspires to be in Season Two.
* WalkingSpoiler: Certain plot points in season one become difficult to talk about with regards to Fowdy.

* DirtyCoward: She's clearly not of physical confrontation, but seems completely unwilling to even entertain engaging in fights she knows she can't win: in Season Two, he's desperate to leave the ASA not out of remorse but to avoid her much deserved punishment.
* {{Expy}}: Keeping in line with the show's Biblical motifs, Fowdy is Judas Iscariot - not only is she working for the ASA as a "spotter" for metahuman activity, once she finds out that Jefferson is Black Lightning, she sells him out to the cops on their behalf.

* BeingEvilSucks: She wants '''out''' ofsituation warrants it, though he'll also try to arrest Black Lighting (and talk badly about him in public) if the ASA in Season Two opportunity arises. When certain events transpire, and Henderson must put his money where his mouth is, he hits a RankUp as a reward. Later, when he finds out about Gambi, he secretly calls on him for technical and investigative support.

* BeleagueredAssistant: Despite being the vice principal,Pit and saving Jefferson treats her like his secretary.

*DarkActionGirl: She reveals herself EveryoneHasStandards: He may be black and frustrated with the rampant racism in the department, but he will not tolerate any attack on racist officers.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In the black community, he's more or less become their scapegoat for everything wrong with the police. His dislike of Black Lightning also puts him at odds with the rest of his community who see him as their savior.

*DeepCoverAgent: She's uses her job as vice principal InspectorJavert: A more sympathetic example than most but he spent most of his career trying to look for students who exhibit metahuman activity after taking Green Light then sell them out to arrest Black Lightning despite the ASA.
* {{Determinator}}: Shows a borderline superhuman tolerance for pain in season 2; [[spoiler:aftergood he was doing -- he wasn't being harpooned personally vindictive, he was just doing his job (though Black Lightning's tendency to attack racist cops might have something to do with it) .

*DirtyCoward: She's clearly not of physical confrontation, PoliceAreUseless: Played with; he's treated sympathetically and Jefferson considers him a friend, but seems completely unwilling he's unable to even entertain either combat the 100 effectively or prevent his officers from engaging in fights she knows she can't win: racist abuse. His priorities are also called into question as his department is seemingly able to arrest protesters with no problem[[note]]Though he claims this is for their own safety; the police will be brutal, but he thinks it's better than the 100 killing the protesters, as they're liable to do so[[/note]], and he spent his career hunting the only man capable of making a difference against the 100, while being useless in actually combating them without him. However, the second episode reveals that there are cops on Whale's payroll meaning that Henderson isn't as impotent as he seems -- merely under siege from all fronts and trying to make the best of a bad situation. {{Averted}} in a later episode when he saves Black Lightning with old fashioned police work, while a flashier plan using super powers and advanced technology fails.
* PresentAbsence: [[spoiler: His death causes Jefferson to give up being Black Lightning as of the start of Season 4.]]

* SecretKeeper: In Season 2, he deduces on his own who Black Lightning is, after linking Black Lightning's return to Jefferson Pierce's daughers' abduction. He quickly realizes then that Thunder must be close to Jefferson too.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Is often torn between the two. [[spoiler: In Season 3, he chooses 'good', as he becomes TheMole for the Resistance.]]

* ApatheticTeacher: In "Just and Unjust" it's made abundantly clear he has no affection at all for his students, and in fact outright resents them for having opportunities in life that he never got at their age.
* DoubleStandard: Claims to be a victim of this, since his parents were drug addicts and he had to spend time sleeping on the street and eating dog food, yet because he wasn't black nobody felt sorry him (ignoring that plenty of kids black or white would get the same indifferent treatment due to the stigma of poverty and drug addiction).... so he takes out on his black students, who he flat admits he doesn't feel any sympathy for at all.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In "Lynn's Ouroboros", he protests the detainment of a student on grounds of suspected metahuman status. He even takes a blow to the nose for his troubles.
* {{Foil}} To Jefferson. Jefferson is stern, but fair and knows every kid in the building and makes a point of having meaningful discipline policies that are focused more on personal development that punishment. Lowry is apathetic, tyrannical, and doesn't seem to have much faith in his students and favors disastrous zero tolerance policies which cause more harm than good - i.e. kicking kids out to the street for minor infractions and into the hands of predatory street gangs.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: He had a rough time of it when he was younger, but as Jefferson points out, he's still got a lot more benefit of the doubt due to being white, despite his claims to the contrary and it's certainly not a good enough reason to take it out on the students.
* GreenEyedMonster: He seems envious on how much the students admire and respect Jefferson, while they almost universally despise him. On a personal level he resents how Jefferson had an award-winning journalist for a father, while all he got for a dad was a drug addict.
* HateSink: Immediately after becoming principal he starts undoing many of Jefferson's policies, including installing metal detectors at the entrances. Jefferson immediately starts hating his guts, although this evolves into pity when he learns why he acts this way.
* IRejectYourReality: He doesn't seem to understand or care about the racism his students and faculty face -- regardless of their social position; even a famous educator like Jefferson has to put up with the indignation and humiliation of police profiling, which Lowry despite his poor background never has and never will. His refusal to recognize this is one of many sources of animosity between him and Jefferson.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He wants to prove himself better than Jefferson, despite condescending at him at every turn.
* JerkAss:
** He's very rude to Jefferson, saying that his changes to school policy that Jefferson had long fought against were necessary because of Jefferson's failures.
** Flat out admits that he refuses to empathize with his students, because nobody showed him any compassion as a poor white boy who had to sleep on the street because of his junkie parents.
* LowerClassLout: His parents were drug addicts, and despite managing to become an educator he maintains the general attitude by how he treats his students and Jefferson, believing they've been given unfair advantages he never got and relishing the authority he has as principal over them -- he makes a point of Jefferson's dad being an award-winning journalist while his dad was a junkie.
* {{Manchild}}: The reason he refuses to reach out and sympathize with his students? Because nobody felt sorry for him and his shitty home life.
* NotHelpingYourCase: He ''hates'' being called racist, then goes on to explain that since nobody felt sorry him and his shitty home life (allegedly because he was white) he doesn't' feel sorry for his black students at all, and proceeded to disrespect and condescend to them at every turn, which of course makes him come off as racist.
* NotSoDifferent: His parents were drug addicts, something that many of his students can probably relate to. Yet rather than be the stable presence in their lives, he's the exact opposite.
* NoRespectGuy: Neither the staff nor students show him much respect due not only to Jefferson's popularity but his own disastrous policies and how he wanted his name to be addressed with ''Principal'' isn't really gonna earn him any respect either.

* ApatheticTeacher: In "Just InspectorJavert: He and Unjust" it's made abundantly clear he has no affection at all for his students, and in fact outright resents them for having opportunities in life that he never got at their age.
* DoubleStandard: Claims to be a victim of this, since his parents were drug addicts and he had to spend time sleeping on the street and eating dog food, yet because he wasn't black nobody felt sorry him (ignoring that plenty of kids black or white would get the same indifferent treatment due to the stigma of poverty and drug addiction).... so he takes out on his black students, who he flat admits he doesn't feel any sympathy for at all.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Despite havingmeaningful discipline policies that are focused more on personal development that punishment. Lowry is apathetic, tyrannical, and doesn't seem to have much faith in his students and favors disastrous zero tolerance policies which cause more harm than good - i.e. kicking kids out to the street for minor infractions and into the hands of predatory street gangs.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: He had a rough time of it whenbeen Henderson's protegé, he was younger, but as Jefferson points out, he's still got a lot more benefit of the doubt due to being white, despite his claims to the contrary and it's certainly not a good enough reason to take it out on the students.
* GreenEyedMonster: He seems envious on how much the students admire and respect Jefferson, while they almost universally despise him. On a personal level he resents how Jefferson had an award-winning journalist for a father, while all he got for a dad was a drug addict.

* IRejectYourReality: He doesn't seem to understand or care about the racism his students and faculty face -- regardless of their social position; even a famous educator like Jefferson has to put up with the indignation and humiliation of police profiling, which Lowry despite his poor backgroundnever has and never will. His refusal to recognize this is one of many sources of animosity between him and Jefferson.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He wants to prove himself better than Jefferson, despite condescending at him at every turn.
* JerkAss:
** He's very rude to Jefferson, saying that his changes to school policy that Jefferson had long fought against were necessary because of Jefferson's failures.
** Flat out admits that he refuses to empathize with his students, because nobody showed him any compassion as a poor white boy who had to sleep onseen until the street because of his junkie parents.
* LowerClassLout: His parents were drug addicts, and despite managing to become an educator he maintains the general attitude by how he treats his students and Jefferson, believing they've been given unfair advantages he never got and relishing the authority he has as principal over them -- he makes a point of Jefferson's dad being an award-winning journalist while his dad was a junkie.
* {{Manchild}}: The reason he refuses to reach out and sympathize with his students? Because nobody felt sorry for him and his shitty home life.
* NotHelpingYourCase: He ''hates'' being called racist, then goes on to explain that since nobody felt sorry him and his shitty home life (allegedly because he was white) he doesn't' feel sorry for his black students at all, and proceeded to disrespect and condescend to them at every turn, which of course makes him come off as racist.
* NotSoDifferent: His parents were drug addicts, something that many of his students can probably relate to. Yet rather than be the stable presence in their lives, he's the exact opposite.
* NoRespectGuy: Neither the staff nor students show him much respect due not only to Jefferson's popularity but his own disastrous policies and how he wanted his name to be addressed with ''Principal'' isn't really gonna earn him any respect either.
