    Blackbolt, Black Canary, Black Cat, Black Widow, Black Knight, Black Hand, Black Adam, Black Queen, Black Tom, Black Swan, Blackfire and Manchester Black… yep… seeya. What? Black just sounds cool in a name? Nope, don't believe you, after all, all of you are black. Uh… on the inside… or something. Just change your name!

    I find it inappropriate if we can't have a White month and a White named (cool) superhero.

    @moul: Maybe a revamped Seven Soldiers of Victory? They aren't using that name anywhere I don't think.

    Do you want "African-American Lightning" to stroke that political correctness?

    @moul: That'd be interesting though I don't see it lasting long.

    The Outsiders was one of the homes for Metamorpho for a good long while.

    That would suck worse, and shows why they need to change his name. It's not like there's some White guy running around called "Lightning". If so, it would be understandable that this guy shows up and yells "Black Lightning, B*tches!!!" - and shocks everyone.

    Come to think of it... THAT would be EPIC!
