Jakeem Thunder
Jakeem Thunder (Jakeem Johnny Williams), initially called J.J. Thunder, is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe, a member of the superhero team the Justice Society of America.
The character appeared starting in the second season of Stargirl on The CW network, portrayed by Alkoya Brunson.
Jakeem first appeared in The Flash (vol. 2) #134 (February 1998), and was created by Grant Morrison, Mark Millar and Paul Ryan.
Jakeem Johnny Williams is a precocious teenager from Keystone City—home of Jay Garrick (the original Flash) and Wally West (one of Garrick's successors). Jakeem's mother left his father while she was still pregnant with the boy and later died of cancer. His aunt Lashawn was then granted custody and his father Phil, never knew about his birth. Jakeem became a self-reliant latchkey kid who grew up on the streets and adopted a tough, foul-mouthed attitude to survive.
When Johnny Thunder loses control over his "genie" Thunderbolt due to his declining mental health, he puts the genie inside an ink pen, which Jay gives to Jakeem. Soon thereafter, the world is threatened by Lkz, a blue genie similar to Thunderbolt but evil in nature. The Justice League of America and Justice Society of America unite to fight the being, whereupon Jakeem discovers that Thunderbolt originates from the Fifth Dimension and is controlled by speaking its name (Yz) backwards ("Say You"). Jakeem works with a small group of JSA members, as they attempted to stay alive while Yz and Lkz battle.
Qwsp is arrested by the Fifth Dimension police. With the assistance of Captain Marvel, Jakeem fuses Yz with Lkz into a new purple genie named Ylzkz, who is controlled by speaking the phrase So Cûl (pronounced "so cool").
Jakeem somewhat reluctantly joins the Justice Society as a part-time member. Jakeem is welcomed by the fellow young hero Courtney Whitmore (the Star-Spangled Kid, who later changes her codename to Stargirl), who becomes a friend, and positive influence on him. He also benefits from the guidance of Johnny Thunder himself. He and Hourman also build a brotherly friendship. Like Johnny before him, he often causes trouble by wishing for things without meaning to, due to poorly worded commands.
During the "Last Laugh" story arc where certain villains in the DC universe have been affected by the Joker's laughing gas, a Jokerized Solomon Grundy attacks the JSA headquarters. His initial attack involves dropping the head of the Statue of Liberty outside the doors of the JSA and knocking out the then-caretaker of the museum, Alexander Montez. Jakeem and Courtney are the only two at the headquarters at the time. Their fight against Grundy goes badly, as he steals Jakeem's pen and retreats to the sewers. Jakeem tells Courtney he wants to get the pen back not because he sees Thunderbolt as his power, but because Thunderbolt is his friend.
