Why does every black superhero/anime hero have electric powers?

[Luke Cage]

Forge and bishop arent black

Forge is definitely not,
this is forge, he supposed to be native american cheyenne specifically. his costume even has native american moccasins

technically bishop is an abohriginal not a black person, but he has always been drawn as a black man, and if he shows up in a movie a black actor will play him.
forge though will probably be played by one of the actors from reservation dogs.

Every black superhero can be put into four categories

Those with electric powers as OP stated
Military
Super strength
Black version of a white superhero

Name any black super powered character and see what I mean

Can't even name Bishop, he was police.

No. he hasn't

Some people just interpret him as a Black man but he's not. He's just a bald sometimes tanned White man.

Nah he black, everyone has considered him a black man For minute now just like everyone considers mark Hamill to be the real joker. You’re like the first person I’ve ever seen push back on this.

I couldn’t name many puerto ricans either if asked.

There's Bantam and Gamecock, two separate cockfighting-based characters who fought Captain America.

He's had dreads, corn rows ect since but, his hair was always a dead give away from his first appearance

In Superman TAS, his design was inspired by (Greek-American) Terry Savalas--specifically his portrayal of Ernst Stavro Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

He's always been considered as black, but in his debut he had a mullet. Every fukking comic book character in the early 90s had a mullet, so I don't think his hair can be considered evidence.

Ogun got fire powers

Boy, that author was quick to get this nikka out the paint. Book's off the rails at this point. Don't even want to see the rest of this shyt animated.

i mean true but at the same time this was the early 90s so he could've been this

or this

I wish I had more examples but most comic book characters are white.

The White tigers are Puerto Rican.
On the DC side vibe is too.
