Lightning Lord is a fictional character, a supervillain in the future of the DC Comics universe. He has the superhuman ability to generate electricity, usually in the form, of lightning bolts. He first appeared in Superman (volume 1) #147.
Lightning Lord (real name Mekt Ranzz) is a founding member of the Legion of Super-Villains. He is the elder brother of the twin Legion of Super-Heroes members Lightning Lad and Lightning Lass, and acquired his powers in the same accident. He has an adversarial but protective relationship with his siblings, and during any given encounter will usually attempt to get one of them (usually his sister) to join him in his life of crime.
Following the Zero Hour "Legion reboot", Lightning Lord was relatively unchanged, although he now hated his siblings and there was no Legion of Super-Villains. In the Legion Worlds miniseries it was revealed that he was rehabilitated and working on his parents' farm.
