They exist! Blue Marvel is a Marvel comics pastiche of Superman! Marvel has several such characters of different appearances that are just a copy of Superman and that's the entire point of them!
Hyperion is the most blatant since he's a carbon copy of Superman down to the "last of his race sent out in a ship, raised by adopted parents, gets power from the sun/same powers" deal but there's also Gladiator and a few others in there.
Icon from DC Comics is he same! These characters actually exist already but that's not the point. They don't want to use other characters that exist or even make new ones because that's effort they would need to put in to generate an audience when they would rather highjack existing franchises and woke all over them.
Seems like in this day and age the audience for a new good black super hero would be built in. If it was well written I’d be down, race aside.
