| 29 | ->''"Do you remember why you became Black Lightning? You wanted to give the people hope. You wanted the evil that's out there to have something to fear. Right now, there's nothing to fear and evil's running rampant like a plague through this city. Hell, through this world!"'' |
| 30 | |
| 31 | \ |
| 32 | A tailor and Jefferson's oldest friend and confidant. He made the Black Lightning costume and actively encourages Jefferson to go back to heroics. There is more to him than meets the eye. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, [[spoiler:he was a mobster who killed Alvin Pierce]], grew remorseful and helped Jefferson become Black Lightning to atone for his sins. In the show, it's [[GreyAndGrayMorality complicated]] - Gambi's a former ASA agent who grew disgusted with their mission, so he leaked info about their illegal experiments to the press via Alvin Pierce, which got him killed. It's unclear what he did and didn't do as an agent. Nevertheless, he becomes Black Lightning's mentor for the show just like the comics. |
| 35 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He's done things like delete footage of Tobias Whale and lie to Jefferson about Anissa's presence at a crime scene. He's also a friend and ex-mentor to Lady Eve. However, it becomes clear later that he's on the side of good, and he's worried about Jefferson's vendetta against Tobias. |
| 36 | * AntiHero: Gambi is firmly on the side of good, but that does not mean that he is to be trifled with. He has no problems with killing or even torturing people. |
| 37 | * TheAtoner: He was part of a government agency that was doing illegal experiments with a vaccine to try and keep people docile. When he found out what they were doing -- and more importantly, that the vaccine was killing people or making them metahumans -- he quit and leaked the project to Alvin. When Alvin got killed, Gambi trained Jefferson as his way to atone. |
| 38 | * BackAlleyDoctor: He uses his tailor skills to stitch Jefferson up. |
| 39 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Well, 'former bad guy turned AntiHero', but the trope still applies. He sees himself as a monster for his past deeds and insists that Jefferson should ''not'' cross the line and leave the morally ambiguous stuff to him instead, like killing Proctor. |
| 40 | * BrokenPedestal: Jefferson saw Gambi as a mentor and father figure. This starts breaking down when Jefferson became suspicious of how Gambi keeps stalling him about dealing with Tobias Whale. It ends completely with the revelation that Gambi was an ASA agent who had a role in the experimental vaccine to pacify the population and that Gambi's whistle-blowing also got Jefferson's father killed. It becomes a something of a RebuiltPedestal when Jefferson realizes that Gambi will ''never'' betray him; he might not be able to forgive Gambi for what he did, but knows he's a loyal friend who deeply cares for him and his family. |
| 41 | * CrazyPrepared: To the point of it becoming a RunningGag. He has cameras all over the city, if the power in the city fails, the Sanctum has a backup generator, he has placed batteries in the suits he makes in case the grid goes down, he has a mobile van that acts as a portable base when necessary. Jefferson basically describes him thusly: |
| 42 | --> ''"This is Gambi we're talking about, he has contingency plans for his contingency plan!"'' |
| 43 | * TheConfidant: For Jefferson and has become one for Anissa, too. |
| 44 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: It's implied he is or ''was'' connected to Freeland's underground as Jefferson relies on him to find out what's going in the city and to be alerted by any new criminal activity. He was actually an agent for the ASA who quit when he found out their illegal experiments to keep people docile were either killing people or turning them into metahumans. He leaked the project to Alvin Pierce, who got killed by the ASA. He trained Jefferson to be Black Lightning as his way to atone. |
| 45 | * DecompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:His role as the man who killed Alvin Pierce is given to Tobias Whale.]] |
| 46 | * DeepCoverAgent: To Freeland, he's a much-loved tailor whose shop helped revitalize down town. In reality, he's an agent for the ASA assigned to find metahumans, so he became a tailor to integrate himself into the community. He's actually stopped working for the ASA, having become disgusted with their mission, but his superiors don't know that. |
| 47 | * FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:In the opening minutes of "Requiem" he's attacked by hitmen and his SUV explodes as he's trying to escape. We don't see a body / remains, and sure enough he's alive and well. He jumped out of his car and exploded it himself, so he can lay low and figure out who ordered the hit. He finds out in season 3 that it was Lady Eve who ordered the hit.]] |
| 48 | * GadgeteerGenius: He's the one who designed Jefferson's new hi-tech costume, as well as Anissa's Thunder suit and Jennifer's Lightning suit. |
| 49 | * HollywoodHacking: Another of his specialties -- it wouldn't be a CW superhero show without it. |
| 50 | * HonoraryUncle: Jefferson's daughters affectionately address him as "Uncle Gambi". |
| 51 | * IAmAMonster: He says this word for word, right before he kills Martin Proctor in the season one finale, and then disposes of the body. |
| 52 | * IHaveManyNames: Peter Gambi is an alias. His name is actually Peter Esposito. |
| 53 | * KeepingSecretsSucks: He learns this the hard way when events spiral so out of control that he can no longer keep his past with the ASA a secret from Jefferson. Jefferson's reaction is what you would expect -- he tells Gambi to stay away from his family and makes it clear that they're no longer friends. However they are reconciled when Jefferson realizes no matter what Gambi will never betray him or his family. |
| 54 | * LikeASonToMe: After the death of his father, Gambi pretty much acted as a ParentalSubstitute for Jefferson. |
| 55 | * LivingLegend: Amongst the ASA. He's able to use his connections to have Lynn examine the kids in their custody in Season Two. |
| 56 | * MadeOfIron: The ASA tortures him to try to get him to give up Black Lighting. It doesn't work. |
| 57 | * TheMentor: Acts as one for the Pierce family, specifically Jefferson and Jennifer. Later, he acts one to Baron aka Technocrat/T.C., after Gambi was looking for him. |
| 58 | * MinoredInAssKicking: He easily wipes out Joey Toledo's thugs before assassinating Toledo himself. |
| 59 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: While he was always remorseful for his ASA actions, the sight of the metahumans he identified thirty year ago being kept in stasis is what really drives the point of he was part of something downright monstrous. |
| 60 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Gambi has a bad tendency of doing things with good intentions that blow up in his face and have unforeseen consequences that often make things worse. |
| 61 | ** After learning the truth about the ASA's illegal experiments, he leaked the knowledge to the press via Alvin Pierce, hoping to expose them. Instead Alvin got killed, with Tobias apparently killing him for exposing his corruption being a convenient cover. |
| 62 | ** He kills Joey Toledo with Lady Eve's approval, hoping it will get the increasingly cocky and reckless Tobias to back down and go back into the shadows (and get Jefferson to abandon his vendetta). Instead, Tobias sees it as TheLastStraw in Lady Eve's mistreatment of him, so he has his men kill Lady Eve and frame Black Lightning for it. Not only does this turn the community against Black Lightning for killing a much-loved public figure, it also compels the ASA to order a hit on Black Lightning for what they see as his unknown interference with their operation. |
| 63 | * PlayingBothSides: He pretends to be an ally of Lady Eve and the ASA, when in truth he's working with Jefferson to fix the damage they've all done to Freeland. {{Deconstructed}} as events spiral out of his control and his delicate balancing act of helping Jefferson without raising suspicion from Lady Eve and the ASA is thrown out the window when Tobias has his men frame Black Lighting for Lady Eve's murder means the ASA wants to take him out, and Gambi is powerless to stop it. |
| 64 | * ParentalSubstitute: He's known Jefferson since he was twelve and is the closest thing to a father Jefferson has had ever since his father was murdered. |
| 65 | * ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He's supposed to be a tailor, but sure spends a lot of his time spying on people and working the streets while Jefferson's at the school. Season 3 informs us that he took up tailoring as a way to cope with his PSTD so odds are he keeps his tailoring ability off-screen. |
| 66 | * RebuiltPedestal: After keeping Jefferson's secret safe from the ASA (ColdBloodedTorture be damned) and helping to free him from jail, Jefferson doesn't know if he can forgive Gambi's past misdeeds, but he does consider Gambi fully a friend and a part of the family. |
| 67 | * SecretKeeper: One of the few people who know that Jefferson is Black Lightning. He was originally the only one, before Jefferson met Lynn. |
| 68 | * SharpDressedMan: Justified, he's a tailor. |
| 69 | * SuperCostumeClothier: Like the comics he's a former mobster turned good, or at least turned AntiHero, who took up tailoring. In the show, he explains he intentionally got into tailoring to help him focus on something to help him deal with his PTSD. He makes Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning's outfits as well as those for his daughters Anissa/Thunder and Jennifer/Lightning. He also uses his sewing skills as a BackAlleyDoctor. |
| 70 | * TokenWhite: Sole white character in the main cast. |
| 71 | * UndyingLoyalty: Despite his shady past, he's 100% loyal to the Pierce family. When the ASA tortures him to find out who Black Lighting is, Gambi does ''not'' give him up. |
| 72 | * WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: For a tailor, Gambi has a ton of hi-tech computer gear in his basement, not to mention whatever the Black Lightning suit is made of. Turns out he's a former spy, and his boss still thinks he's working for them, so all of his equipment is part of that job. |
| 73 | * WouldNotHurtAChild: The whole reason he turned against the ASA, experimenting on and killing kids was just too much for him. It's also why he kills Proctor with not a hint of remorse. |

| 94 | * HonourBeforeReason: Him organizing a peaceful protest against The One Hundred in the light of Lawanda's death might have been noble, but also quite foolish.

| 184 | A friend of Jefferson's and a high ranking officer in the police force, who tried for years to arrest Black Lightning, unaware he was chasing his friend. Currently, he's overwhelmed as the One Hundred throw Freeland into chaos. |
| 185 | ---- |
| 186 | * 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. |
| 187 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:He’s fatally wounded after taking out every single Markovian soldier guarding the Pit and saving Jefferson from an ambush.]] |
| 188 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He may be black and frustrated with the rampant racism in the department, but he will not tolerate any attack on racist officers. |
| 189 | * 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. |
| 190 | * FriendOnTheForce: Eventually becomes this, after he figures out Black Lightning's identity.[[spoiler:Becomes this again to the Resistance in Season 3.]] |
| 191 | * 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. |
| 192 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Fatally wounded in a gunfight with the Markovian soldiers guarding the Pit, though he manages to take all of them with him.]] |
| 193 | * 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. |
| 194 | * PresentAbsence: [[spoiler:His death causes Jefferson to give up being Black Lightning as of the start of Season 4.]] |
| 195 | * RaceLift: The ''Superman'' version of Henderson is white. |
| 196 | * 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 [[LovedByAll Jefferson Pierce]], Clayman is arrested and Henderson becomes the new Deputy Chief. |
| 197 | * 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. |
| 198 | * ToBeLawfulOrGood: Is often torn between the two. [[spoiler:In Season 3, he chooses 'good', as he becomes TheMole for the Resistance.]] |
| 199 | * {{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. |
| 200 | * 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. |

| 215 | * FantasticRacism: Her husband, after becoming a metahuman, went insane and murdered her brothers. This has left her with a burning hatred for all metahumans, which drives her crusade against superpowered "vigilantes". After Lightning delivers a captured meta criminal to her, Lopez [[UngratefulBastard responds]] by calling her "meta filth" and claiming she and all the others deserve to be wiped from the face of the Earth. |
| 216 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Despite hating metas so much, she seriously considers arming her officers with metaboosters that would give them powers to fight against them before Shakur talks her down. [[spoiler: After she is exposed as a bigot, she injects herself with a metabooster to try and kill Lightning.]] |
| 217 | * InspectorJavert: She and Hassan Shakur start Season 4 by investigating Jefferson due to him putting two racist cops in the hospital. |

| 274 | The vice principal of Garfield High, whom Jefferson often takes for granted. |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * ArmedLegs: Fights [[spoiler:Syonide]] in Season Two with CombatStilettos that have ''literal'' stilettos that extend from the heels. |
| 277 | * BeingEvilSucks: She wants '''out''' of the ASA in Season Two when the whole ugly truth of Proctor's operation comes to light. |
| 278 | * BeleagueredAssistant: Despite being the vice principal, Jefferson treats her like his secretary. |
| 279 | * 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. |
| 280 | * 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.]] |
| 281 | * 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. |
| 282 | * {{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.]] |
| 283 | * 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, she's desperate to leave the ASA not out of remorse but to avoid her much deserved punishment. |
| 284 | * DrivenToSuicide: [[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.]] |
| 285 | * {{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. |
| 286 | * 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. |
| 287 | * {{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. |
| 288 | * 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]]. |
| 289 | * 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]]. |
| 290 | * 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. |
| 291 | * RetiredMonster: What she aspires to be in Season Two. |

| 299 | |
| 300 | The School Board that overseas Garfield High School. Despite Jefferson's success in making a Garfield a model school and his reputation, they often butt heads with him. |
| 301 | ---- |
| 302 | * ApatheticTeacher: They care more about Garfield's reputation than the students themselves. As Jefferson point out they always find money for metal detectors and security guards, but never for stuff like computers and books. |
| 303 | * BadBoss: They could always replace Jefferson as principal with somebody else, and Jefferson knows they would if he butts heads with them one time too many. |
| 304 | ** In Season Two, [[spoiler:they only agree to reopen Garfield when Jefferson offers them his resignation; he knows too well that they will gleefully exploit the chance to drag his name through the mud.]] |
| 305 | * HateSink: They tried to expel an otherwise model student who screwed up one time by ''email''. |
| 306 | * {{Jerkass}}: They look down on Jefferson for being "arrogant" despite his reputation as being on of the best educators in the country and condescend him at every opportunity. Though "arrogant" in this case seems less to mean "prideful" and more "refuses to do do whatever we say without question". |
| 307 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 308 | ** While it's understandable they want to take disciplinary action against a student who publicly overdosed in the school, they go too far by avoiding kind any of hearing for the student and by failing to acknowledge that the drug dealers are deliberately targeting the student body. |
| 309 | ** They also have legitimate security concerns about the kids' safety in Season Two in light of all the gang attacks on it in season two. |
| 310 | * OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: We know little about them, save they don't see eye to eye with Jefferson on anything. |
| 311 | * PointyHairedBoss: Jefferson is one of the best educators in the country, and yet rather than seeing him as an asset they seem him as a problem for being "arrogant" because he refuses to comply with their racist outlook on how to run the school. |
| 312 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: While not "villains" per say, they are mainly affluent whites (and one black man) who look down on Jefferson as "arrogant", fail to empathize with the black students who make up Garfield's student population and make no secret of how they wish to replace Jefferson with someone who will comply with desires without question. [[spoiler:In Season Two they get their wish.]] |
| 313 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Jefferson has final say on disciplinary matters, but they more or less blackmail him into forfeiting that authority in exchange for letting a student they wanted expelled stay in school. |
| 314 | * UltimateJobSecurity: It's really a mystery how they still have their positions especially since by and large the parents and students usually side with Jefferson and not them. |

| 323 | |
| 324 | The new principal that was hired after Jefferson stepped down. |
| 325 | ---- |
| 326 | * 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. |
| 327 | * 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. |
| 328 | * 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. |
| 329 | * {{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. |
| 330 | * 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. |
| 331 | * 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. |
| 332 | * 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. |
| 333 | * 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. |
| 334 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He wants to prove himself better than Jefferson, despite condescending at him at every turn. |
| 335 | * InformedAbility: You don't get to be principal of a high school without years of experience as a teacher and further work in administration. We don't see any hint of that in Lowry's interactions with students and staff. |
| 336 | * JerkAss: |
| 337 | ** 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. |
| 338 | ** 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. |
| 339 | * 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. |
| 340 | * {{Manchild}}: The reason he refuses to reach out and sympathize with his students? Because nobody felt sorry for him and his shitty home life. |
| 341 | * 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. |
| 342 | * 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. |
| 343 | * PlotIrrelevantVillain: Has absolutely no impact on the main plot, he's just there to make Jefferson's personal/professional life hard alongside his superheroics. |
| 344 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: After he replaces Jefferson, he starts demanding strict obedience from teachers and students alike. It doesn't work out like he wants. |
| 345 | * 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. |
