Why do so many black superheroes have electricity powers?

[Gizmo_Duck]

storm controls the weather
Black Adam is usually wrote as an arab at the very least
Miles Morales - Bio-Electrokinesis: Miles possesses control over natural electricity that his body produces, capable of utilizing it for offensive attacks, that's an additive from his spider powers, not his sole power. So outside of Static Shock and Black Lightening, that's just two.

Naw im not rollin

They all shoot electric out they hands

And to add Black Vulcan was Black Lightning's stand-in for Superfriends, due to some legal matter.

this is why..

 

[NZA]

the answer might be that black, lightning spun off several of these characters and inspired the others.

Never been able to figure that one out.

Miles should be referred to as Ultimate Spider Man.

We seem to have forgotten

This part. One Black superhero has electricity manipulation as a power and they just give them all that power because they don't have any imagination.

That and super strength as well. Because of certain stereotypes

While the most powerful cac superheroes/villains can absorb everyone else's powers or have telepathy and thought projection to control all other powered people.

Still.

You can't call them both Spider Man.

So they been trying all kinds of different nicknames for Miles. But instead of anything new or anything they have tried, Ultimate Spider Man is most fitting. And Miles deserves something better than Black Spider Man

This was very informative. I knew the crux of it with Black Lightning and Black Vulcan but didn't realize how far it extended.

Also....

...Black Bomber

She doesn't really have electricity powers. She can become and manipulate anything on the energy spectrum, hence one of her monikers. Her powers are based in light, and electricity is just one of the waves she's controls..but she doesn't even use electricity.

There's really 2 - Black Lightning & Static.
