Comic Books
- Irredeemable's Volt is a Black Lightning Expy.
- Static's status as an Electric Black Guy Expy of Black Lightning was lampshaded after the Milestone Comics characters were subsumed into the DC Universe and Jefferson Pierce became his mentor.
- The background British heroes in Paul Cornell's Knight and Squire includes a character who is a parody of Black Lightning's seventies look, called Fro.
Live-Action TV
