That's one of the best pranks, based on the fact that we all know what it is to this day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lightning
The original candidate for DC Comics' first headlining black superhero was a character called the Black Bomber, a white racist who would turn into a black superhero under stress.[3] Comics historian Don Markstein later described the character as "an insult to practically everybody with any point of view at all".[4] When the editor who had approved the Black Bomber left the company before the character had seen print, Tony Isabella (whose previous writing experience included Luke Cage, a black Marvel Comics superhero with his own title) was asked to salvage the character. Isabella convinced editors to instead use his Black Lightning character, which he had been developing for some time.

Tony Isabella used to post on comics forums pretty often. Hearing him talk about DC's ideas for black superheroes before he got involved were pretty wild. Apparently, the Black Bomber wasn't just racist, he was a Klan member.

I mean, Tyroc from the Legion of Superheroes had an incredibly racist backstory. (The writers decided the reason there were previously no black people in the future was because all black people were separatists who lived in a bubble city and hated white people.)

The Black Bomber did actually see print (briefly) in an issue or two of Justice League. Anansi (the spider deity responsible for Vixen's powers) once changed the story to send her to an alternative world with alternative Justice Leaguers. Or something.

Apparently the second last panel with no dialogue was originally going to have him ask if he can use the N-word while in that form.

Always seemed odd that they had to design a new gun, instead of using an existing one (aircraft survival guns aren't new) and that they went for a pistol.
