Barron, nicknamed Technocrat by the A.S.A., or T.C. for short, is a meta-human resident in Freeland who joined Black Lightning's team.
He later searched for Gambi whilst the A.S.A. were going door-to-door to search for meta-humans and, after finding him, learned of Gambi's affiliation with Black Lightning and Thunder. However, after a meaningful conversation about his powers and its effect on his humanity, Barron found himself overloaded and collapsed, leaving Gambi to find someone to aid him.[3]
After Lynn Stewart provided a dose of the meta stabilization cure to Gambi, Barron reawakens and asks Gambi why he's helping him and is told that he reminds him of someone. Jefferson then arrives at the bunker and greets Barron. Later on, after resting, Barron tells Gambi about what he learned from the bitcoin transaction and reveals that it was Lady Eve behind the assassination attempt on Gambi.[4]
Barron then aided in saving Khalil Payne by hacking into the Painkiller chip in his brain. However, upon entering the chip, Barron found himself attacked by Painkiller and was quick to escape, leaving him shaken. After Gambi converses with Jennifer Pierce, Barron realises that they require a firewall in order to separate the Painkiller system from Khalil. With the help of Jennifer's powers, Barron is able to trap Painkiller, allowing Khalil to freely take control of his brain and reawaken. Later on, Barron joins the team assembled by Sara Grey and Black Lightning. During this time, Jennifer and Brandon voice their concerns of Khalil not waking up, prompting Barron to hypothesise that Khalil may not be strong enough to escape Painkiller's control. He then decides to re-enter the chip on Jennifer's behest in order to locate Khalil and convince him to wake up. Despite finding him, though, Khalil refuses to leave, forcing an unsuccessful Barron to retreat and inform the group. Jennifer then suggests that she turn herself into a living electrical current into to join Barron in freeing Khalil. After once again finding Khalil, the two succeed in convincing Khalil to leave, allowing him to finally awaken.[5]
