re: CW's Black Lightning (First Image)

Metahuman was DC's answer to Marvel's mutant. I knew it was some time in the 80's, and it seemed like a knock-off term at the time as I recall. The miniseries Invasion introduced the term in the comics back in 88 per wikipedia. The same alien race they used on this season's Invasion story arc on the Flash for non-comic readers.

I always liked reading Black Lightning Comics as a kid in the 70's. He was the inspiration for Black Vulcan on the Superfriends cartoon and he was in the first Outsider's comic with Batman. I like making him older and giving his daughters some exposure. Let's hope it's a quality show. I can dig it.
