Overview
Lynn Stewart is a scientist specializing in chemical compounds and how they relate to addictive substances. She is a citizen of the neighborhood of Freeland and the ex-wife of high school principal Jefferson Pierce. Lynn is the mother to two daughters with Jefferson, Anissa and Jennifer. Around the year 2009, Jefferson came into metahuman abilities of electrokinesis and became a street vigilante that the locals referred to as Black Lightning. Pierce's use of his powers had an adverse affect on not only his physiology, but his marriage as well. Before long, Lynn could no longer deal with the dangers that Jefferson was facing on a day-to-day basis and she left him.

Although Jefferson retired from being Black Lightning, he had cause to take up the identity again nine years later. The timing was unfortunate, as Lynn and he had begun to smooth out the rough patches between them. However, when she discovered that he was operating as Black Lightning again, she began withdrawing from the relationship again.
