Well, fictional powers are predicated on pop culture and tend to have loose association with anything connected with darkness like blackholes (which I surmise is why gravity is associated with darkness), shadows (to the point that some authors creatively have users solidify and manipulate them), and generally evil (because we tend to associate the dark with deception as well as vulnerability to a threat that would otherwise be seen in light). Today, authors have done virtually everything with darkness from solidifying it, liquifying it, using it as a gaseous form, making it combustible, using it for teleportation, the possibilities are endless as long as it's the color black, the absence of color, or associated with darkness. You can also see people have done the same with light.
