Lady Eve

"I don't mind people believing in God, they just can't believe that they can take back these streets!"

- Lady Eve

Lady Eve is a villain in the first season of the 2018 CW series Black Lightning. She is the series' adaptation of the DC comic villain of the same name.

She is portrayed by Jill Scott.

Past
After Tobias Whale "killed" Black Lightning, Lady Eve gave him control over the 100 Gang as a reward.

Black Lightning's return
Lady Eve attends a fundraiser at Garfield High School on behalf of Blackberry Funeral Parlor, where she is an employee.

After several setbacks due to the incompetence of Whale's henchman Lala, Whale and his henchwoman head out to meet with Lady Eve, whom he hands a bag full of money to make up for the money she lost due to Lala's stupidity. However, she replies that unless he wants her to throw the bag at Black Lightning, it does not really solve his problem.

Whale states that he killed Black Lightning years ago but Eve then asks him whether he is a church-going man. Whale tells her that this is not the case and Eve says that the Bible helps people stay in line and that people like Black Lightning make them believe that compliance is no longer required. She then reveals to Church that Reverend Josiah Holt is planning a protest march against the 100 Gang - which would cost them protection money - and that she has been informed by one of Holt's pastors. Church thanks her for informing her but Eve tells him that she doesn't need thanks, she needs him to deal with the problem. As Whale turns to leave, Eve remembers him that the people cannot think that they can take back the streets from them.
