Title pretty much sums it up. Watched a video recently where someone was asked to name a black superhero that didn’t have lightning based powers and while I could name a few it made me realize just how prevalent the trope is.

But why?

Edit: Y’all I’m not asking for examples of black heroes that don’t have lightning powers. I’m asking why it’s a trope to begin with 😮‍💨

      I don’t think the top level domain of the site has much to do with its platform decay, but yeah the ads are beyond obnoxious.

        And it won’t function if you have AdBlock active. It forces you to allow the ads unless you subscribe.
