'Black Lightning' creator would pick Hardware and Icon from Milestone comics if he had a choice

The second season of 'Black Lightning' will deal with themes from bridge-building to family and community

We have been introduced to an amazing superhero in the form of 'Black Lightning', thanks to creator Salim Akil. But do you know who Akil would choose if he had the chance to use one of the heroes of Milestones comics to be a part of 'Black Lightning'? Hardware.

Hardware, created by comics legends Dwayne McDuffie and Denys Cowan, is a genius inventor who uses a variety of high-tech gadgets to fight organized crime in his Hardware identity. However, he never suspects that his employer, whose resources Hardware uses, is actually a crime boss himself.
