I just wish other people would mix up their ethnic characters a bit more. There's a really heavy trend toward linking superpowers with ethnicity. Sure, do that, roots matter. But do some other stuff too. African-descended characters often have primal powers such as animal traits. I have Lakia, who has a tail and Neural Blast. I even have a soup who actually IS an African elephant, Hercules. But I've also got Boss White (Telepathy), Danso (Superpower Manipulation), Dazzlecat (Shapeshifting: Ocelot Form), Jolt (Control Electricity), Fiddlesticks (Super-Speed), Gallium Gal (Liquid Metal Form), the Gingerbread Man (Teleportation), Lieutenant Brown (Regeneration), the Muffler (Power Nullification & Empathy), and Saraphina Dreux (Soul Powers).
