#JillScott as #LadyEve Since CW’s Black Lightning(executive producer: Mara Brock Akil) first premiered, the titular character’s arch-nemesis Tobias Whale has been the head guy in charge, wreaking nothing but havoc on Freeland and shooting folks with a harpoon. But as viewers learned in the most recent episode of the superhero series, there’s someone else calling the shots over Tobias. The Black Lightning episode “Lawanda: The Book of Burial”introduced Jill Scott as Lady Eve. And Lady Eve's debut brings nothing but pointed words and threats that, quite frankly, have Tobias shaking in his boots. But who exactly is Lady Eve on Black Lightning? Unfortunately, she's the crime-fighting vigilante’s latest nightmare. According to Lady Eve's official character’s official description, she “serves as a bridge between Tobias Whale and a secret group of corrupt leaders.” On the outside Lady Eve seems pretty harmless — but don't get it twisted, she's all venom. By day she works in Freeland as the owner of a funeral parlor, but she quickly becomes an adversary to Black Lightning. First introduced into the comic book realm as a member of theinternational terrorist group, the Kobra Cult, Lady Eve is no stranger to stirring up drama. After her debut in 1985's Batman and the Outsiders #24 issue, Lady Eve joined cult leader and military tactician Kobra on his plan to mind control U.S. Army officials and blackmail the U.S. Government. The two first met in Egypt, where she nursed Kobra back to health, and later the two traveled to America to set their evil plan into motion. Eventually though, they were stopped by Batman and the Outsiders — of which Black Lightning was a member. This explains why she, like Tobias, is all for taking down Black Lightning's (co-producer: Melora Rivera) main character. #BlackLightningCW #BlackLightning (at Wpix-tv Ny)
