(Or at least that’s what it looks like they were trying to represent in the second panel)

Every time I look at that picture all I can see is how the run of his SCM is way wrong. It goes to the Mastoid process, not the body of the mandible :(

He defibrillated Mia/Speedy in Green Arrow #57

Last time I remember him defibrillating someone was Superman after a fight with Doomsday in Superman (Vol. 2) #175. Not sure if I’ve ever seen him defib someone who doesn’t require STAR Labs generators to shock.

Ben,

That caught my eye too. I just decided he was pushing really hard.

Will,

Good question. Black Lightning’s been shown in the past to be able to defibrillate the heart, so he seems to have enough control to dial his shock down to the 100-360 Joule range — so maybe he does have enough control to cauterize wounds.

It kind of looks like the shock was significant enough to lift Peter off the ground. That seems a bit excessive.

On the other hand, does Black Lightning have enough control to heat something and cauterize a wound? That would seem useful.

I’m just struck by how Black Lightning’s fingertips look embedded in the other guy’s chest

Peter is lying on the ground. Maybe the current is going from Black Lightning through Peter to ground?
