Off the top of my head, I can only get to six. But I don’t think I could come up with that many white heroes with lightning powers.

Found a list with bunch of superheroes with lighning powers. I see that most of top 10 are black-skinned heroes and heroines. But once you go down, most of them if not all are caucasians.
I feel that it is less of a “black heroes mostly have electrical powers” and more of a “heroes with electrical powers are more likely to be black”.
