Black Lightning and The Jack of Hearts

 


Jack of Hearts powers have always seemed a little unstable.  What kind of changes might come about as a result of a collision with an electrically based hero like Jefferson Pierce?

  1. Jack has always been one of my favorites, but is so underrated by many Marvel fans. Plus, he has one of the best costumes ever!

  2. @Ross: It would be a shocking change, no doubt!*

    LIke, say, their minds winding up in each others' bodies. Not a complete fusion like Firestorm or Starhawk! More like Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan (or Jodie Foster and the late Barbara Harris, if you're Old School alumni).

    *Ba-DUM-boom!

  3. Cary's going "Freaky Friday" on this, but looking at the situation I'm thinking of "The Man With Two Brains": Jefferson winds up inhabiting the left half of Jack's body. What follows is a mix of comedy and detective work as they consult with anybody they think could help, from Zatanna to Professor X.

    1. @Bob Greenwade: actually, that was "All of Me" with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin. TMWTB was the one where that wild-and-crazy guy telepathically fell for the disembodied brain of a woman who had the same taste in vintage love songs.

      @Ross: I'd love to see Jack of Hearts get in Eclipso's face.

  4. Would that happen if Jack went against Electro? Think not.

    1. Of course not! Because Max Dillon would already be housing the spirit of his dead brother, Roscoe. Alias the Top!
