African superheroes created by African writers?
Are there any African superheroes created by writers native to Africa? It just stands to reason that there has to be at least 1 superhero that’s native to the African continent. I just want to be sure myself.

That sounds a bit broad. The usual tweak for that is asking which one was the first (like this question which was about the first African/Black superhero, regardless of the writer)

Does the writer have to be actually born in Africa to count, or does it count if they are of African descent?

@Adamant The original version of the question is an "any" question, which is not really a list question and is on-topic. No edit was necessary.
