In Netflix’s ‘Supacell,’ a group of people has their lives completely flipped when their dormant superpowers are activated out of the blue. Set in South London, the show follows five people, each with a different set of problems in their seemingly disconnected lives. As they explore their powers, they also face the dangers that this power attracts. There is so much that they don’t know about, especially how and why they have these powers, but a very interesting pattern emerges. Throughout the show, we notice that all the people with superpowers (no matter if they are on the good side or the bad) are Black. There is a very interesting reason behind it. SPOILERS AHEAD.
