I be more concerned about the quality of the writing in the books itself. I don't want this history be be poorly written and prove these racist ass white dudes right by saying "look, we gave the minorities a chance, but they have shytty books"

Wish it were a black man but otherwise, I like stark though so what's going on? Iron Man is one of my favorite superheroes and I'm going to kind of miss Stark. Is he doing a cameo at least?

 

[Bigbigguy]

She's a terrible character before you guys celebrate this shyt I'll let you know this same writer just killed off War Machine to motivate two white characters

Yeah I don't trust Bendis at all. And I never liked Miles.

You just know it's going to piss off cacs. You're going to hear more of the same "they're changing all the characters black" even though 95-99% of superheros are white men.

As far as this change I'm getting sick of reboots and relaunches from both companies. We all know Stark will be back as Iron Man in a matter of months. DC and Marvel NEVER keep their big three (Batman, Superman, Wonder, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor) dead or replaced for no more than a year or two.

I do understand and appreciate Marvel and DC trying to bring in more black, hispanic, and strong women characters but you have to do it carefully and not make it so obvious.

What do you think about this Mr. Stark@Ironman

 

[TMNT4000]

So wait they still calling her Iron Man or Iron Woman?

And how long is this diversity in Marvel Comics is gonna last?

Because I don't expect Marvel to throw Tony, Bruce, Thor and others in the bushes

If it's trash, it'll be Static Shock 2011 all over again

And just in case that gif doesn't translate well, I agree with @AquaCityBoy

I love my sistas, but there's only two people who have any business being iron man and that's Rhodes and Stark.

You sometimes have to Trojan horse characters breh. Let's be real: if they put this same character in a book with a completely new character how many copies would it sell? There's a good chance she'd die off simply because comic book fans today tend to fear what they don't understand and despise change. There's nothing wrong with the Trojan horse way of doing it as long as it's done well. It's not "pandering" if it's looking to serve a group of people who don't feel served by the current options.

YOU keep supporting stuff like that breh but you aren't the masses. You aren't the general public. It's great that you do that so props are in order but the masses don't move that way anymore. And when they do it's rare as fukk. Rather than being upset at marvel for the move you should probably turn that ire toward fans who aren't supporting new characters so marvel wouldn't have to make the move to begin with

@MartyMcFly is right. New black and female characters get introduced all the time, and nobody buys. That's how racism works. There's a dope new comic coming out now called 'Black'. All new characters and powers- let's see how much shine it gets from these people complaining about pandering and piggybacking.

I think the point is that some of us don't want new black superhero to become legacy characters from white iconic superheros

If they made a new black superhero with his own unique powers and abilities debuting on popular white super comics than okay

But this whole idea on the only way a black hero can be popular is to replace a already popular white superhero, in which that's kinda lame to me.

For me I don't like the idea of making new black characters to replace white characters as a right direction of diversity

I was hoping we get unique characters that are not copy cats of the original

 

[AquaCityBoy]

The irony of using that gif

Where's the irony? Is she a bedwench?

 

[Un-AmericanDreamer]

Let's be honest, if a random white woman replaced T'challa as black panther, nikkas would be heated.
