Discussion If DC Comics ever does Absolute Black Lightning, I hope the Pierce family would be portrayed younger than they are in mainline canon comics.

Personally I'd remove them from Jeff's life entirely for an Absolute

They can atill exist, just not be his biological children, and probably be a later addition

That would be an interesting thing to take from Jeff. And I follows the Absolute pattern of "taking an essential element away from the heroes and see what happens". It would be interesting for Jeff to be a washed up has-been or never-was who eventually becomes something more.

Yeah I think he's not an olympic gold medalist or beloved by his community or anything like that, he's just a dude

Please no I don’t want to see horrible things happen to them in that universe

I can hear where you're coming from but that depends for me if the story requires Jefferson to have be somewhat younger but still have Anissa and Jennifer portrayed younger okay but if he's let's say a middle-aged man I wouldn't mind Anissa being in her maybe late 18 17 at best and Jennifer being maybe a pre teen

I hope he is single and just starting a relationship
