Who is Jakeem Thunder?
Jakeem Johnny Williams is a teenager from Keystone City. Jakeem's mother left his father while she was still pregnant with Jakeem and he was orphaned when she died of cancer. His aunt Lashawn was then granted custody and his father, Phil, never knew about his birth. As such, Jakeem became a self-reliant latchkey kid who grew up on the streets of the city and adopted a tough, foul-mouthed attitude in order to survive life.

Jakeem later comes into possession of Johnny Thunder's "genie", Thunderbolt, after Johnny begins to lose control over the genie due to declining mental health. He puts the genie inside an ink pen, which is then given by Jay Garrick to Jakeem, not knowing what lied within. Jakeem would later (and reluctantly) become a member of the Justice Society where he became close friends with some of its members (most notably, Stargirl).


Timeline wise he’s pulled from around JSA (1998) issue 32-ish before he cut his locks
