He is the mascot of [[Dan Kouzo]] and a member of the [[Awesome Brawlers]].
His main Bakugan was a Darkus [[Howlkor]]. He aslo has three other Darkus Bakugan: an [[Artulean]], a [[Phaedrus]], and a [[Tretorous]].<br />Later, in Howlkor's place came Darkus [[Ferascal]] in ''[[Geogan Rising]]''. In addition, he uses the Darkus [[Geogan]] [[Montrapod]] in the same season.
Lightning sometimes speaks in some episodes, with only the viewer and his Bakugan being able to understand what he is saying.
Lightning accompanies Wynton and Lia when they confront Dan and Drago about the destruction they caused while training. He also meets up with the Awesome Ones at the Burger Joint, after Dan's initial encounter with the [[Rowdy Reds]].<ref>''[[Monkey See, Monkey Don't]]''</ref>
While Lightning and Howlkor are training with Dan and Drago, one of Howlkor's [[Prismatic Bolt]] attacks launches Drago in the aired, towards a nearby house. Dan recalls Drago back into his ball form to avoid destroying the house, but Drago still manages to break a window panewindowpane. The pair receive a scolding from the owner of the house, while [[Kravitz]] watches. The next day, the Awesome Ones find that their usual training grounds have been cordoned off, being declared a "Bakugan-free" area. They attempt to find another location to train, but every available spot is packed with other children looking for a place to use their Bakugan. At the last available spot, the group encounters Kravitz again, this time leading a group of protesters into declaring Bakugan brawling banned. The Awesome Ones return to their clubhouse, and upon seeing their viewership drop significantly, decide to make a mock-up brawling video, using cardboard cutouts of buildings and keeping their Bakugan in ball form, in order to avoid trouble. However, Kravitz has been spying on the group and uses this to her advantage, again forcing Drago, Trox, Gorthion, and Howlkor out of ball form, destroying the set. Kravitz then confronts the Awesome Ones again, disguised as the anti-Bakugan activist, along with several members of the community, include Bill and Barbara Kouzo. The group of protesters, including Dan's parents, demand that the Awesome Ones had their Bakugan over to Kravitz. Kravitz takes their Bakugan, declaring everything "safe".
While this is occurring, [[Benton Dusk]] watches, and decides to cause a weather satellite to plummet towards Los Volmos. Back in their clubhouse, the Awesome Ones watch [[Veronica Venegas]] as she reports on the incoming satellite. Dan formulates a plan: if they could get their Bakugan back, they could destroy the satellite and repair Los Volmos' perceptions towards Bakugan. The team stops Kravitz on her way out of Los Volmos, demanding their Bakugan back. Kravitz declines, but as she walks past the Awesome Ones, her device that forces Bakugan out of their ball forms is knocked from her person, falling and activating the Bakugan in the cases. The Bakugan break free, and Kravitz escapes. Lightning and Howlkor are reunited, and begin to help escort civilians out of the city. After seeing this, the citizens of Los Volmos, including Dan's parents, tear up their anti-Bakugan fliers, and return to accepting Bakugan.<ref>''[[Local Heroes]]''</ref>
Lightning helps Lia test out her new drone technology, when she notices something in the background of her videos. Lia goes off to investigate, and when Lightning and the rest of the Awesome Ones catch up to her, they find that she has discovered a new Bakugan, [[Pegatrix]]. Pegatrix exerts her influence to calm Dan and the Awesome Ones. The Awesome Ones return to their clubhouse, where they find [[Jenkins]] with a brawl offer from [[China Riot]] for Lia. Lia immediately agrees and signs the accompanying contract.<ref>''[[Pegatrix (episode)|Pegatrix]]''</ref>
