Lightning

Crackling onto the Bronze Age DC scene in 1983, Lightning made their debut in the pages of The New Teen Titans — one of the most celebrated superhero titles of the era, crafted by the legendary team of Marv Wolfman, George Pérez, and Romeo Tanghal. Over an impressive span stretching all the way to 2025, this character has woven through the fabric of DC's Teen Titans universe, sharing the page with luminaries like Donna Troy, Green Lantern, and the sibling duo of Gan and Tavis Williams alongside Thunder. Whether you're diving into The New Titans, revisiting The New Teen Titans, or exploring the collected DC Finest: Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, Lightning is a fascinating thread connecting Bronze Age storytelling to the modern DC era — a quietly enduring presence well worth tracking down.
