  • Black Superheroes are hot right now in pop culture but they have been around for a long time, just not in big numbers. In this video we celebrate them. This list concentrates on legacy heroes, meaning the character is 10 years or older. I will do another list called the Top 10 NEW Black Superheroes in the future featuring developing characters fresh on the scene from 2010 to the present. As you might guess Miles Morales makes the OG all time list despite being created in 2011. Marvel and DC dominant the list but 1 indie comic comic does make the top 10 in Col. Al Simmons aka Spawn.
    RULES FOR TOP 10 BLACK SUPERHEROES OF ALL TIME LIST.
    1. Legacy heroes. They must be at least 10 years old
    2. Character has to be Black from conception. No race swapped heroes.
    3. This is my personal list. Feel free to post your own top 10 list.

    NU'BIA WAS ACTUALLY IN THE WONDER WOMAN SHOW BACK IN THE 70's. THIS WAS ALLUDED TO BE JAYNE KENNEDY. THERE WAS A PUSH FOR A SPIN-OFF STARRING JAYNE KENNEDY BUT OF COURSE...IT WASN'T FOR THOSE TIMES BUT YES...THE DOLL WAS BASED OFF OF JAYNE KENNEDY'S CAMEO IN THE WONDER WOMAN SERIES.

      Thanks for watching and your feedback. If Jayne's character was implied to be Nubia then this was even worse. If they were going to give us Nubia then it should have been full armor costume ready for battle Nubia. We were robbed. It took them to 2022 to finally actually start using the character but better late then never I guess. Be sure to watch more videos from Black Superhero Playlist.

      There was no answer for Marvel that would have made everybody happy. Chadwick was the only actor to play Tchalla in live action and the way he died may have been as insensitive by his fans. A replacement so soon would have led to harrassment of the imposter Tchalla. And seeing the new guy interact with all the other original actors like everything was normal would be weird. Like how the fresh prince show got a new aunt viv. So i think marvel did the right thing. Maybe they reboot after secret wars and give us a new Tchalla say around 2027.

    As with the rise of female, LGBTQ+, other abled peoples, black, Hispanic/Latinx and Asian representation has reinvigorated many of the tired tropes of comics. New voices, cultures, appearances have added much more rich story telling and even employment opportunities to the industry. There needs to be more and hopefully, we all will get many chances to see all our varied and wonderful colors shine.
    PS. Storm is my absolute favorite. And yes, I am a gay, cis-gendered white guy...

    • @ComicPower

      Thank you for your feedback. Everything you said was true. For example Miles Morales allows Marvel to give us a Teenage Spiderman with a fresh spin. Peter Parker has been around since 1962. He was really the first teenage lead character in comics and not a sidekick. But they had to age him up to advance the character to keep him fresh and wound over aging to where hes lost that youthful charisma. trying to de age him didn't work and caused confusing continuity. In saying welcome. I hope you stay. And BTW I have several playlist for binge watching. I have one called LGBTQ Supheroes in which I am friendly to the Gay community! here!

    • @ComicPower
      @ComicPower  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I never got into Icon. It seemed to ask the question what if a super powered alien came to Earth and looked like a Black man instead of a White man like Superman. Thats a good starting premise but the execution of his storylines didnt work for me like Static and Hardware did for me.

      I did In the minseries Nubia Coronation. We got an important story as she crowned Queen of the Amazons, but i found the art to be lacking. She also headlined Nubia and the Justice League, which didnt present anything new and refreshing in terms of its storytelling. It seemed like a makeup for having Nubia sit on the bench for so long, DC felt shamed into putting her into something important as a headliner. The most obvious they should do (but DC is too stupid to do) is do a Wonder Woman Part 3 live action movie in which Nubia shows up to challenge Diana and then they have to team up to fight together against a bigger threat. Im available it to write it but once again DC is just too dumb to do the right thing!

      Thanks for posting. the character is supposed to be Pardo Brazilian which is a Brazilian of multiple ethnic backgrounds. Which would include Black. So I guess we could claim him. He definitely was misrepresented in the film.
