	Static and Storm. Out of A-list black superheroes (A-list here being defined as characters who you've heard of), lightning-based powers are disproportionately represented. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Black Vulcan and Static maybe ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Black Vulcan being the "we couldn't get the rights" version of Black Lightning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well his powers were differnt, he could become lightning and travel that way. For that matter you could add the black Vulcan rip they used in the JLI cartoon as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)

There's a dozen of those. I've had this conversation before.

"All black superheroes have lightning powers!"

"Like?"

"Black Lightning, Static, and Storm!"

"Storm is pushing it, but okay, the first 2. Who else?"

"Black Vulcan!"

"That's... really just Black Lightning with a different name."

"Soul Power!"

"Okay, again, they wanted Black Lightning, but they couldn't get the rights. They said so. So they did the closest thing they could without getting sued."

"Supervolt!"

"That's Black Vulcan again, just with a different name. And Black Vulcan is just a Black Lightning repaint."

"Juice, of the Ultimen!"

"Okay, the Ultimen were a parody of the Superfriends, and Juice was the group's Black Vulcan, who, like I said, is just a ripoff of Black Lightning."

And so on.

I don't see your point. When I say that "most Black heroes that have lightning powers are just Black Lightning with another name" I'm not being insulting. I mean it literally. I mean there is a large number of characters that are LITERALLY "we either couldn't or didn't feel like paying the money to get Black Lightning, here's a character that's blatantly him in a different costume."

	TV Tropes calls is "Captain Ersatz," and yes, Black Lightning has a huge entry, under Western Animation for some reason. I won't provide a direct link, 'cause it's TV Tropes and ~~IT WILL CONSUME YOUR SOUL~~ it tends to suck up time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There's also Thunder (Jeff's daughter but her power isn't electric, Lightning (~~alex ross's creation~~ jeff's other daughther whose power is electric) and JJ Thunder (who has a 5th dimensional imp, but because their apeing his Kingdom Come design, has him seemingly manifesting electric powers on every JSA cover he's on) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But come on, you're talking about Black Lightning's daughters. Of course their powers are going to be all "lightning" themed. Like how Wally West's kids have speedforce powers. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	comicoz 2009-08-05 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Lol, I wasn't aware of all those variations! I'm really enjoying the new Black Lightning too. He's smart, doesn't rush in over his head, and has a consistant behavior pattern. I've just doomed the poor boy, haven't I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	New Black Lightning? Do you mean Static over in Teen Titans? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As usual, the preview made me smile (in a good way). Every issue makes me feel that Waid is trying to have a Plutodickery entry in superdickery.com. (Reply to this)

	Grimjack's best friend's girlfriend named "Goddess"--who was, in fact, an ancient goddess--did lightning zaps. (Reply to this)
