In Black Lightning, his character is let down on a career advancement, and instead receives a poor performance feedback which leads to him killing his senior officer.
In exchange for his freedom, the ASA operative agrees to work with Dr Helga Jace (Jennifer Riker).
A violent and impulsive villain, Shakedown could cause major trouble for Black Lightning and his superhero family.
