Friend: but you're just like a twitter shitposter. How do you design all these special gadgets and stuff Me: I have no agency other than to occupy the negative space delineated by your need for plot devices to solve your problem du jour. And be unthreateningly socially awkward.

Like it was a whole big plot arc in the Arrowverse the first time they did it Whereas when Black Lightning gets roped into the Crisis it's just his nerdy friend looking at his iPad all "Hey it seems there's an infinite number of alternate realities being consumed by antimatter"

It's one of the few moments of purely genuine pathos in the whole thing which is why the bathos surrounding it is so good "Why me?! Why save JUST ME and not my family" "I just told you, they don't have electric powers"
