True. Nobody (white) complained about Liz Taylor playing Cleopatra, or Joel Grey or David Carradine playing Asians in movies.

I like neither as a kid. Sgt. Rock and Easy Company all the way.

Other way around he was DC. In any event in the Marvel movies dark skin was nothing more than dark skin in the 1940s. Without the characters facing and overcoming Jim Crow it is nothing to cast anyone since nobody in the story placed any obstacle or even notice on race. Thus is it really diversity if culturally the characters have no difference or faced any different challenges in life?

Well, I'm glad we have you here judging the content and quality of threads. I mean you could just skip the ones you aren't interested in, but you do so much more...

Here are some black superheros that could be revamped.


Blankman and Other Guy


The Brown Hornet with sidekicks Tweeterbell and Stinger


Black Dynamite


Foxxy Love, superhero team member from the series Drawn Together


Mr. Clean, he could be black and has a nice image, more developement needed.
