Actually, Pro, I agree with you. Turning Superman black is a dumb idea. I just want to present possibilities. They could turn him black for 5 or 6 issues. That could be fun, and, if done well, downright fascinating.

I would really rather see a black hero introduced who would be as powerful as Superman.

He could be a terrific role model for black kids.

He would present many new possibilities.

Imagine if you are a black super hero, and save the life of a prejudiced person. Would it change that person's feelings towards black people? Or not? And how would it make you feel about that person?

He could have a white love interest. Thus, it would add an interracial viewpoint.

It would be awesome to have a black hero of that kind of power. Most black super heroes are just not all that powerful, except John Stewart, Luke Cage, Steel, and maybe a couple others. As you had also pointed out....

Blacks should be represented as being on a par with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

I want a hero who happens to be black. He ( Or she. ) could be awakened to being an activist of sorts. And there could also be black super heroes. They could start off being VERY aware of how the world sees them and fighting for many things, including equality, and making black kids aware of the many options in their lives besides crime and drugs.

The possibilities are almost unlimited...and, as I have already stressed, it depends on who is writing the character.



he was called Icon and was part of the Milestone line that DC published for a while. Dwayne Mcduffie of JLU was one of the main creative people involved. it's where Static (of the Static Shock cartoon) came from as well.
