The CW has found its key villain for its upcoming DC Comics drama Black Lightning.
Rapper Marvin "Krondon" Jones III has boarded the midseason drama as a series regular and will take on the role of key villain Tobias Whale.
Tobias Whale is described as an African-American man with albinism who is the leader of Freeland’s most feared gang — The 100. But in the days before Black Lightning, Tobias was a politician, rising up the ranks of local government through corrupt and illegal means. That was until he was brought down by Alvin Pierce, Jefferson’s father. Enraged, Tobias killed Alvin and was driven underground into exile. It’s here he found a place to rebuild, growing into the violent and methodical leader of The 100 as viewers find him today. But Black Lightning’s recent return has ignited Tobias’ desire to emerge from the shadows and face his biggest adversary, Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning.
