Black [AF] America's Sweetheart #[nn]
In this powerful 2017 issue from Black Mask Studios, writer Kwanza Osajyefo and letterer David Sharpe deliver a gripping story where only Black people possess superpowers—among them Eli, a young woman adopted by a white family and trained by her government-employed father for sanctioned missions. When Eli’s powers awaken, she’s thrust into a mission that collides with the arrival of Zion, who claims they’re sisters and that their parents sent them back in time to escape a future where Black people are enslaved. After Zion attacks a government center and collapses into the ocean, Eli lies in a coma, her mother demanding protection—until a mysterious rogue youth appears at her bedside. Cover by Sho Murase.

Only black people have superpowers. This includes Eli, who is adopted by a white family and whose father works for the government. When Eli develops powers, he puts her into training and sends her on approved missions. She loves helping people, but Zion, who attacks the government center, insists that she and Eli are sisters; their parents sent them into the past from a time in which superpowered blacks are slaves of the white government. Zion beats Eli into a coma, and then collapses into the ocean. Eli's mother demands more protection in the hospital; a rogue youth appears by Eli's bed.
