A new photo has given us first look at the new Black Lightning antagonist, Gravedigger.
Last year, it was revealed that actor Wayne Brady had been cast in the role of Grave Digger for Black Lightning. Gravedigger is described as a supersoldier who refused to live in segregated America and attempted to create a safe haven for metahumans in Markovia. His attempts to do this will eventually lead to a confrontation with Black Lightning and the ASA. How long he will remain an antagonist and how big of one he will be is currently unknown.
Thanks to a new photo we now have our first look at Gravedigger in action on Black Lightning from Entertainment Weekly. You can see the full image below:
