I have seen Black Lightning's father being referred to as "Alvin Pierce" in DC Universe Presents Vol 1 #13 to #16. I have rechecked but couldn't find his forename being mentioned (it could have been mentioned in an interview, or I could have missed it, though), but I guess it was an assumption considering how "Alvin Pierce" was the man's name on New Earth. In any case, in Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands Vol 1 1, his father's forename has been revealed to be "Louis". Should the previous Prime Earth iterations be homogenized and linked to "Louis Pierce (Prime Earth)" or should it be kept as "Alvin Pierce (Prime Earth)" ?

I have a similar question for Ragman Vol 3 where Ragman's father is linked to Jerzy Reganiewicz (Prime Earth) ; presumably because it was his real name on New Earth before he changed it to Gerry Regan, but so far there was no indication that for the "Prime Earth" version Ragman's father also underwent a name change.
