Sounds here like there is a general animosity towards black superheroes. Not because they don't sell well, but because you simply don't like them.
Read again, Spanky. What most of the other people are saying is that they would rather see a new hero come along who happens to be black and who is written well (which is what we want for all characters, to be written well) instead of just shortcutting it and trying to use the name and fanbase of an existing character which would probably suffer from the lack of writing skill that a majority of comics currently face.
I liked the concept of Steel when he was introduced in the Reign of the Supermen story arc way back when. A guy who was saved by Superman wanting to return the favor by helping others the best he can to honor the man who gave his life for Metropolis. I thought the execution, on the other hand, wasn't handled well. The character was piled on with excess baggage out of the gate and drowned out by the rest of the Supes family. Morrison's utilization of him in the JLA was good, too, and made me like the character. If they'd done him right from the beginning, he might still be a viable character hanging around, active, today instead of dropped to the background.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
