Synopsis- SPOILER ALERT!!! |
|
After telling his student
in school to essentially not give up, and telling his fellow leaguers that
losing his powers won't be a hindrance to his life, Black Lightning finds
himself face to face with the Parasite. The Parasite waylays the more
powerful members of the league, Wonder Woman and Firestorm among them and
demands to fight Superman. Black Lightning nearly gives up
but sees his student helping out an old lady in the middle of the crisis.

|
Continuity Peg- POSITIVE |
|
Judging
from both the appearance of Huntress (in her first suit) and Shayera (in her
tracksuit). This story can be placed between
JLU-2:01 The Cat and the
Canary (where it is assumed that Shayera is now in her tracksuit) and
JLU-2:06 Double Date (where Huntress appears in her 2nd suit and terminated
from her position in the league). Mr. Terrific is seen dispatching the
league instead of J'onn, but it is possible that J'onn is merely away and Mr
Terrific is covering for him. His presence in the Monitor Room is why his
dispatching assignment was suggested by Wonder Woman in
JLU-3:03 Chaos at Earth's
Core and continued after that. Parasite's reappearance is no issue. Black
Lightning and Firestorm do not appear in the TV series. Steel is never
unmasked in the TV series.
