1 | * ExecutiveMeddling: Apparently, this is why he didn't appear outside of comics for a long time (and why there was a FountainOfExpies). However, when the makers of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' looked into it, they couldn't find out ''why'' exactly it was that way, so he was finally allowed to appear in outside media. He's since cameoed as a member of the Justice League in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', and has his own live-action show on Creator/TheCW. |

4 | * FountainOfExpies: Ever noticed how it seems like there are an awful lot of [[ElectricBlackGuy African-American superheroes with electricity powers]]? That's because most of them are either directly related to Black Lightning (his daughter Lightning), are CaptainErsatz versions of him ([[WesternAnimation/SuperFriends Black Vulcan]], [[WesternAnimation/StaticShock Soul Power]]) or deliberate {{Shout Out}}s (ComicBook/{{Static}}, [[{{ComicBook/Irredeemable}} Volt]]). An episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' even featured {{Exp|y}}ies of the Superfriends, making the character Juice (the Black Vulcan equivalent) an Expy of an Expy. |
