Lynn took both her daughters to a play date for the children of the Justice League hosted by Iris West-Allen. Anissa was particularly excited by the arrival of John Smith, and asked him to generate "twisties".[3]
Jefferson, bereft by Helga Jace's betrayal and Batman's machinations, visited Lynn and his daughters. The girls were dressed in costumes, with Anissa dressed like Black Lightning. The girls finally lifted Jeff's mood.[4]
In the comics, Anissa Pierce is the superheroine Thunder. Against her parents' wishes, she chose to follow in her father's footsteps fighting crime, though only after she graduated from college. Just like Black Lightning, she joined the Outsiders too, and during that time, became romantically involved with her teammate Grace Choi.
This is her third animated appearance. She previously appeared in the Thunder and Lightning shorts of the DC Nation Shorts and DC Super Hero Girls.
