In the Netflix series Supacell by Rapman, the characters gain superpowers through a genetic mutation linked to sickle cell disease, which primarily affects Black individuals. Each character has a unique ability, activated either through being in danger or proximity to another person with the “supacell” mutation. Here’s a breakdown of the main characters and their powers:

• Michael Lasaki (played by Tosin Cole): Can manipulate time.
• Sabrina (played by Nadine Mills): Has telekinetic abilities.
• Andre (played by Eric Kofi-Abrefa): Possesses super strength.
• Rodney (played by Calvin Demba): Gains super speed.
• Tazer (played by Josh Tedeku): Can become invisible.
• Krazy (played by Ghetts): Replicate the superpowers of others.

The story emphasizes the theme of turning a genetic condition that often impacts Black communities into a source of strength, raising awareness about sickle cell disease while offering a fresh narrative on superpowers
