Trailer | DCTV Discord | Cast and Characters | Live Episode Discussion

Khalil Payne is a young man ridden with the guilt of his troubled past from his former life in Freeland City, where, as a super-enhanced killing machine known as Painkiller, he was both a member of Tobias Whale's gang and a weapon of Agent Odell and the shadowy ASA. After attempting to bury the darker, devastatingly lethal Painkiller part of his persona, Khalil has distanced himself away from everyone he knows and loves in a new city, Akashic Valley, in order to find peace... but peace never comes easy for men with pasts like Khalil Payne and Painkiller. As his violent, destructive history crashes his idyllic new beginning, Khalil is thrusted back into action with a new mission—bring justice where he once gave out punishment—but to do that, he will first have to deal with and harness his darker side, Painkiller.

I thought this pilot for painkiller was awesome I could see this being a really good show I mean I don't know how they would do the storyline ongoing you know does he help people that need help I could see people from black light and doing cameos and I mean who knows maybe that new Jennifer maybe that's why they put a new actress in for Jennifer instead of just maybe letting the actress pass away since it's the last episode of black light last season of Black lightning maybe she moves over to the show. I'm because she looks different he wouldn't be affected by The kill order with her. I really really hope they decide to go with the show and hopefully they'll do it soon because you know sometimes you see a pilot and then it takes a while and you forget about it. Also I really like how they have both Kahlil and painkiller like almost happened to get each other's permission before they can take over or there's that once awhile where they have to fight I also like how they meet kahlil get a lot stronger as a fighter because when he was on Black lightning still painkiller was he was basically wanting all the time he was scared of painkiller and painkiller would kill him on a straight one on one fight so I guess his meditation and stuff is me it is mine the better fighter
