What is it with the internet and digging up any excuse to call something racist?

@jedixman said:

Yeah, it's kinda true.

Some exceptions I could think of:

  • Cole MacGrath
  • Electro and Shocker
  • Surge
  • Thor (not sure if he counts)
  • Captain Marvel (see Thor)
  • Pretty much every Star Wars character who uses lightning (see Thor)

Shocker shoots vibration blasts, not electric.

No electrical powers, but Marvel's Thunderbolt and the Ultraverse's Zip Zap are both black speedsters with a lightning motif in their attire. It is an interesting phenomenon.

This was addressed awhile back, and I said I was wrong.

Why is it that people like to comment on old posts of mine?

mentioning people from naruto is kinda pointless, since its not race based there, kakashi and sasuke are the first 2 lightning users, and from what I've seen, they're more prominent, but plenty of people use it

I mean no disrespect or trolling but really look at this.

Black Lightning (DC) - black, electricity based powers.

Static Shock (DC) - black, electricity based powers.

Thunder (DC) - black, density based power (but has lightning on her outfit).

Storm (Marvel) - black, wather control powers (uses electricity frequently).

Lightning (DC) - black, electricity based powers.

Ultimate Spider-man (Marvel) - black, spider powers (includes bio-electric shock)

Volt (Boom Comics) - black, electricity based powers. (a pastiche)

Thunder (Kingdom Come, DC) - black, electricity based powers.

Black Vulcan (DC) - Super Friends version of Black Lightning, it seems

Big Thunder (DC) - black, electricity based powers (Bulleteer miniseries)

Jakeem Thunder (DC) - black, electricity based powers (Flash character)

Shango The Thunderer (DC) - black, storm god

Thunder Fall (DC, The Kingdom), black, electricity based powers

Hell, its just not comics but look at Naruto, where the most proeminent black characters has lightning powers like Killer Bee and the Raikage. I am serious, but what is up with that?!? I am just curious if anyone else noticed it.

You forgot to add ASM2's Electro, so... yeah...

Now that I think of it, this extends to Naruto as well. There's an entire nation called the Land of Lightning which happens to be home to the only black population in Naruto, where lightning based ninjutsu is their expertise, and has prominent black lightning based fighters such as the Raikages and Darui.

Thor, Lightning Lad and his entire family, The Flash family, Electro, Zeus, Livewire, Surge, Shazam, Berzerker, Blanka (which is extra funny considering his name).

And let's not forget the blackest nigga this side of the hemisphere.....Pikachu

@siremystking52: well said. Though I'd like to point out that this was many years ago, when I was ignorant and stupid. Now I'm... well, still stupid, but less ignorant.

Don't forget Fortune from MGS2. Magnetism and a railgun as her weapon of choice.

Good question. Maybe Storm and Black Lightning are just such iconic characters that it made people subconsciously wanna make black electrical characters.

Or it could just be a coincidence because there are just as many Black characters who have nothing to do with electricity.

Lol it takes a wise person to realize that they were ignorant and stupid. And regardless of your answer, you seemed to be on the right side of racial morality so you're a step ahead of half of this site lol

Technically not an electricity manipulator himself (he controls a 5th dimensional imp with the likeness of electricity) but Jakeem Thunder is also another person to add to the list.
