Black Panther gets a pass, cause a black panther is a specific type of panther that has melanism (opposite of alibinoism).
Cougars, jaguars and leopards are all panthers... so a black panther is a specific type of animal.

black panther

The most fukked up superhero was this fat white dude called the Brown Bomber. He would become a buff black dude, fight crime, then go back to being a fat piece of shyt cac. He was created by Dwayne McDuffie (creator of Static Shock :rip:) to highlight how racist the comic industry can be.
Dwayne McDuffie was a real one.

sarcasm aside... im asking a serious question...

well black panther and black manta both have black outfits...

i know why it was done ... but why did most of the characters have to named black xyz

they could have invented the characters and name them anything but "black" something..

milestone characters although being black arent named black.. i think Dwayne Mcduffie also mentioned something about that do when he started milestone
How can you say you know why it was done and then ask the question in the same sentence.

Do you really need an answer to this?:comeon:


Besides, there are plently without the "black" prefix. Spawn, Green Lantern, Batwing, Cyborg, War Machine, Luke Cage, Storm, Falcon to name a few

i didnt say all i said alot.. and some of these where invented later on...

dont act like oyu didnt call war machine the black iron man until you learned his name.. or john stewart aint the black green lantern

As a black person i know why its done but as a black person the question is why was it done that way...
they could have just name him lightning man or some shyt... The Manta...the Vulcan ...

Hell they didnt call spanish characters Captain Hispanic or something

The best thing about that hilarious troll job that McDuffie did was that the original plan for Black Lightning was going to be a racist white guy who would have super-powers when he turned black. Luckily the editor at DC who wanted to do it got fired and Tony Isabella was able to use his own ideas of a black superhero with lightning powers instead.
