Martin Proctor

"I don't like power I don't control! When Black Lightning returned, you said you would figure out who he was and take care of him. You didn't, so I'm bringing A.S.A. operatives into the city to kill him, plain and simple!"

- Proctor to Gambi "I'm sick of this neighborhood, Peter! They don't take care of it, the food is all fried... The only thing the people here are good for is experimentation, they should be happy we're here! Green Light will give their lives purpose, direction! We're doing God's work, Peter, God's work!'"

- Proctor

Martin Proctor is a villain in the first season of the 2018 CW series Black Lightning.

He is portrayed by Gregg Henry.

Past
As part of the so-called "Freeland Experiment", the A.S.A. under Proctor unleashes the drug Green Light into the city. They use the criminal cartel of Lady Eve to distribute the drug in the city.

Planning to kill Black Lightning
After Lady Eve has been killed with electricity and everyone assumes it was Black Lightning, Proctor meets with Peter Gambi. After Gambi drives up, Proctor reveals that he regrets not having killed Black Lightning the moment he returned to the city and that Lady Eve is now dead as a result; Lady Eve who was the liaison between the A.S.A. and the 100 Gang and helped distribute the Green Light drug into the city. He states that with Eve's death, Although Gambi mentions that Black Lightning could have been set up, Proctor ignores that possibility and states that they do not need more evidence than Lady Eve's murder with electricity.

Proctor states that he usually values Gambi's council but that Black Lightning has become more than a nuissance, he has become a threat. He reveals that he put a bounty on Black Lightning's head and although Gambi states that captureing Black Lightning could help them understand the enhancement of human abilities, Proctor counters that the A.S.A. has cut up so many meta-humans that one more will not make a difference. He reminds Gambi that when Black Lightning returned, Gambi promised that he would find out his identity and take care of the business. Since Gambi failed, Proctor will now bring A.S.A. operatives into the city to kill Black Lightning. He tells Gambi to give them any information they have so that they can kill the vigilante. Disgusted, Proctor tells Gambi that he finds Freeland disgusting and that the only thing its citizens are good for is experimentation - so the people should be actually glad, A.S.A is distributing the Green Light.
