Fictional character biography

Peter Gambi is a former mob hitman who killed Alvin Pierce. Turning his back on his life of crime, he became a tailor like his brother Paul Gambi. Peter established a tailor shop below Jefferson Pierce's apartment and befriended Pierce and his mother.[1] When Tobias Whale orders the death of a student to threaten Pierce after the latter spoke out against the 100's criminal activities, Jefferson seeks Gambi's advice to avenge the victim. Gambi creates the costume that enables him to become Black Lightning.[2]

Syonide captures Gambi and tries to force him to reveal Black Lightning's true identity.[3]

Jefferson learns that Gambi was the one who killed his father. Gambi begs unsuccessfully for Black Lightning's forgiveness.[4] Whale sends Syonide to kill Gambi and Black Lightning. Gambi sacrifices his life to save Black Lightning, and Pierce forgives him as he dies.[1]
