Black Superman is just perfect. Superman is already overpowered, making him the least interesting superhero. He cannot fail. Black protagonists cannot fail. Match made in Heaven. Black Supergendernonbinaryotherkind will be even better.

Can he beat Mary Sue?
But... Superman’s powers are based on absorbing energy from the sun right? And melanin blocks UV from the sun...
So wouldn’t Superman get weaker the blacker he is? Thus he could get more vulnerable, and therefore, more interesting, simply by virtue of being black.
Of course the writers would never go in that direction!
