One of the most powerful characters in the DC Comics universe is Thunder, the genie trapped in the pink pen sitting on Courtney's desk at the moment. When Jim Gaffigan was cast to voice the character it was implied by Entertainment Weekly that young Mike Dugan might free the all powerful genie. Today we have learned, via Decider.com, that the legacy character of Jakeem Thunder will actually take up the powers of the literal wish fulfilling genie. Fans may remember that Jakeem was mentioned in season one by Mike Dugan but never seen on screen. Now fans will see this recurring character played by Alkoya Brunson. He is described as:

Jakeem is a legacy character like the other members of the JSA, having picked up the Thunderbolt after its original owner Johnny Thunder lost control of the power of the genie. Unlike Johnny, who had to say a special code to release the Thunderbolt, Jakeem was able to harness the power by clicking the pen and uttering the phrase “so cool".

Ah that pink pen. Ever since Courtney and Pat paid a visit to the old JSA headquarters we've been wondering about that pink pen. Pat claimed that it was the most powerful and dangerous weapon in the entire arsenal of tools and weapons that the JSA have. Courtney, dismissing the pen and throwing it into her desk cup of other pens might have set up an accidental releasing of the power within. According to Entertainment Weekly, that power is actually the wish-granting electrical magical imp from the mysterious land of Bahdnesia. The all CGI character will be voiced by stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan! Thunderbolt is described as:

[Someone who] the wishes he grants often cause more trouble than the wish-asker would ever expect. But despite his somewhat constant supernatural disasters, the Thunderbolt's heart is always in the right place, even if it is wounded by the friends he has lost throughout his long existence.

Also according to Entertainment Weekly, it was suggested but not confirmed that it would be Courtney's younger brother Mike Dugan who would potentially let this genie out of the bottle. We'll have to wait to see. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and in the forum! Follow us on Twitter to get breaking news!

Today, Stargirl.tv sources have confirmed that the previously undisclosed role that Ysa Penarejo is playing is actually that of the DC Comic's character Jade. Jade is the daughter of the first and original Green Lantern Alan Scott. Season 1 fans may remember that Courtney actually has the Green Lantern in her room after stealing it away from the old JSA headquarters. The fate of Alan Scott is not known but it is very possible he has passed on like the other members of the original JSA. Jade does have a brother as well. Will he be making an appearance? There have been several iterations of Jade, some where she's needed a power ring and others where she can directly control her green energy power without needing a ring or battery to recharge. What version we might get in the show remains to be seen but we are so excited for it!

Filming on the second season of the smash hit Stargirl has begun and as we know from season 1, Shade is expected to make waves this second season. That isn't all, Meg DeLacy's Shiv has found the crystal holding the entity of Eclipso and we believe she has every intent to free him and use his power to test the newly founded JSA. Today we can finally put faces to these names (via Deadline.com) as The Expanse's Nick Tarabay was cast to portray Eclipso, a series regular role. Opposite him is The Affair's Jonathan Cake, as The Shade, a recurring part. Additionally Ysa Penarejo has been added to the cast as well in a yet undisclosed role. Eclipso is described as:

An ancient entity of corruption and vengeance. Brimming with a cold, terrifying darkness, he exploits the flaws of others, reveling in the impure and sinful, sadistically feeding off the dark side of humanity.

The Shade is described as:

An English immortal. Tall and slim with an elegant 19th Century way to his speech and manners, he masks the horrors he’s experienced and people he’s lost in all the time alive with wry, witty retorts and a false sense that nothing really matters.
