Static Shock was a really good show, whatcha expect?
Evan Fisher
Kek. Source?
Pretty sure the ball was already rolling before then.

You'd be correct:

Logan Brooks
Think its from Irredeemable.
Dominic Morgan
Is it really a stereotype if there is no basis in facts or reality?
But yeah, the only black super in DC without electric power is John Stewart and Bronze Tiger
Jace Flores
So did he gave him an orgasm or something cause that face sure ain't indicating pain
Jose Wright
Maybe electric black men are his fetish.
Jack Martinez
Probably yeah. There doesn't seem to be a real source to it besides Black Lightning. It just keeps happening.
Ayden Ramirez
Some of it is when they had to make legally distinct versions of Black Lightning like Black Vulcan because of rights issues.
Owen James

Brandon Adams
Are you counting technology as electric powers?
Colton Sanders
Then Static was made as an homage. Meanwhile Storm is Claremont's weather goddess fetish which means she uses lightning by necessity.
Owen Moore
>Duke Thomas
Jason Cook
Yeah, which is why I didn't list Cyborg.
Point. I stand corrected
Benjamin Hughes
What stereotype?
Parker King
What about speedsters? They have lightning of course on their designs but obviously it's not actually electricity.
Cooper Parker
Freeza's really hit some hard times.
Michael Hill
I already stand corrected, but you are right as well, though I always thought of Speedforce as sentient electricity
Noah Ortiz
Why does that stand have a huuuuge cock?
Dominic Watson
It's not really a stereotype, it's more of a meme. All you've really got for black guys with electrical powers is Black Lightning, Static, and Storm. They're all high profile heroes, but not the only black heroes out there.
