Past
Toledo is a crazy member of the 100 Gang and is the right hand man of the gang leader Tobias Whale. Nine years ago, Whale murdered the father of Jefferson Pierce, prompting him to become the superhero Black Lightning. Toledo was Whale's right hand even back then, and Pierce knows him from that time.

Working for Whale
Nine years later, Toledo is still by Whale's side. After one of the 100 gangsters, Lala, has disappointed Whale, Whale sends out Toledo and another henchwoman in order to capture him. The two stop Lala's car at a crossroads and force him to come with them at gunpoint. They then deliver Lala to Whale and Toledo watches in glee as Whale harpoons Lala through the shoulder. A few days later, after is has been revealed that Black Lightning has returned from the dead, Toledo accompanies Tobias to visit the coroner who confirmed Black Lightning's death to Whale. After Whale has roughed up the man, he orders Toledo to beat the coroner to death.

Green Light
After Black Lightning has started to investigate the Green Light drug that has started to flood the streets of Freeland, he finds out that chemicals used to create the drug are stored in a warehouse in the city. He interrogates the owner and although the man is hesitating to give up anything, he eventually reveals that he is paid by Joey Toledo, who is responsible for the 100s Green Light operation.

Meeting with his friend Peter Gambi, Pierce demands to know how Gambi could not have known that Joey Toledo was back, knowing that he worked for the man who killed Pierce's father. Pierce also deduces that if Toledo is around, Tobias must be as well which Pierce deems impossible, believing to have killed Whale himself. After obtaining a location for Toledo from Police Inspector Henderson, Pierce sets out to take care of his old enemy. He follows Toledo's girlfriend to his location, steals her phone and sends a message to Toledo, posing as the girlfriend and claiming that Toledo's henchmen won't let her in. Toledo writes back that he will be out in a second and indeed heads out, only to be confronted by Black Lightning. Black Lightning brutally beats him up and demands to know where Tobias is but Toledo only laughs. When Toledo tries to draw a gun, Black Lightning disarms him and repeats his question but due to the toll his new powers takes on his body, Black Lightning is suddenly struck with a strong headache. Sensing the opportunity, Toledo gets back up, knocks down Black Lightning but realizes that he still cannot beat Black Lightning.

Slowly getting back on his feet, Toledo tells Black Lightning that the next time Tobias sees him, Tobias will kill him and Toledo will bury him. As Toledo slowly stumbles off, Pierce tries to blast him with electricity but is unable to do so. Witnessing this, Toledo laughs insanely as he escapes successfully.
