Because a shitty pun isn't worth basing a hero on.

Realistically Cape Town would produce a supervillain before any heroes. South Africa is like a real life supervillain hideout for former soviet and south asian gangster stereotypes.

>>85515873

Because there was one.

And he was white.

Hence, why NOW there is no superheroes from Cape Town.

Because Superheroes from South Africa are White.

He could be like The Cape, but blacker.

>"The Cape"
Has got to be one of the worst names for a superhero conceivable. So generic-sounding.

>>85516564

What if the hero is a sentient cape who uses a hologram of a human to disguise his true nature?

>>85515873
Because fuck South Africa.
Seriously fuck South Africa, and their shitty prices, their cuntish self aggrandizing personalities, and most of all, fuck their goddamn fucking accents.

>>85515873
Because Cape Town is worth at least ten Hell's Kitchens. Even the Punisher would have a hard time.

CAPE TOWN? MORE LIKE RAPE TOWN!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_violence_in_South_Africa

>The rate of sexual violence in South Africa is among the highest in the world. Sexual violence is the use of force or manipulation to get someone to engage in unwanted sexual activity without his or her consent.[1] An estimated of 500,000 rape cases take place in the country, every year.[2]

>ccording to the report by the United Nations Office on Crimes and Drugs for the period 1998–2000, South Africa was ranked first for rapes per capita.[3] In 1998, one in three of the 4,000 women questioned in Johannesburg had been raped, according to Community Information, Empowerment and Transparency (CIET) Africa.[4] While women's groups in South Africa estimate that a woman is raped every 26 seconds, the South African police estimates that a woman is raped every 36 seconds.[5]

Does he get to bring his family and allies? Because Gotham must be the most protected city on earth with all the vigilantes running around, Cape Town would be fine.

It's hilarious, we've two examples of solid, productive countries handed over to blacks which have become your bog-standard African hellhole.

There's also the example of one founded by American Blacks that sank into a hellhole within a few years of its founding.

And now BLM wants to try to colonize a region of the US. Somehow, they think this won't end up like those three...

>>85516098
so's London

>>85515873
because only three and a half million people live there

it would be like having a superhero from Iowa or Puerto Rico - they'd probably just move to New York like everybody else does

>>85515934
not true, there are plenty of superheroes from other cities and states, usually from the most populous places

Texas has the Scarlet Spider, Rangers and numerous others, California has its own Avengers and so on, even Florida has the Man-Thing and a few others, and together with New York these are (currently) by far the most populous states, but this wasn't always the case - Florida and Texas have experienced massive population growth since the 1960s relative to New York, for example, while California has also increased in population, but was already pretty large; at the same time, some other states have had pretty much static population numbers for 50 years

True, they are just the most recent race baitery.

And no, they don't care about police violence. Their list of demands made that clear.

They don't want responsible policing, they want no policing.

I always thought they needed to spread all the heroes across the country, something like:

>New York
Spider-Man
Daredevil
Avengers HQ

>L.A
Iron Fist
Luke Cage
Doctor Strange
Iron Man (Malibu)

>Chicago
Moon Knight
Jessica Jones

>Seattle
Ant-Man and Wasp

>San Francisco
X-Men

>Washington D.C
Captain America

>New Mexico
Hulk (ABQ)
Ghost Rider (Statewide)

>Boston
Captain Marvel/Ms. Marvel

>Miami
Punisher
>>
>>85517587
That would require more creativity than Marvel is capable of.

Zombie stat.

The figure was first arrived at in 1999, so even if it had been true then - and there has been no evidence in the intervening 17 years that it was - you would expect it to be different now simply because the population is different. Hitting dead on 26 seconds for 17 years would be impressive even in a first world nation with an obsession over punctuality like Germany.

https://africacheck.org/reports/un-stats-dont-show-a-rape-occurs-every-26-seconds-in-sa-as-sky-news-reported/
http://www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=16877&LangID=E
(the promised report of the Special Rapporteur doesn't appear to have been published yet)

It's worth remembering that *reported* violence against women as a whole in countries like the US has been generally declining in recent decades - the rate of rapes in the US, for example, is much lower now than it was 40 years ago - when there was a reported rape against a woman (male rape not even being collected on stats in those days) every 119 seconds on average according to the Bureau of Justice (2.5 rapes per 1,000, with an overall population of 211.9 million in 1973 and assuming an even 50% are female), but this actually went up by 1980 before dropping again, and other government bodies may give higher figures. It didn't in fact drop significantly until the 1990s - indicating 20 years of inaction from US authorities and an ingrained normalization of rape in US culture; it's also probable, given recent protests, that both male and female rape is significantly underreported in US educational institutions, which would tend to indicate that the rate is much higher, perhaps as high as it was known to be in the 1970s and 80s.

tl;dr even if there were any evidence that were true, it would only be four times the US rate - 30 seconds or 2 minutes, doesn't really make much difference to the victims

also

de Klerk and Botha were near total incompetent caretakers.

You'd think that because south Africans can get into pixar, they also get into comics.

>>85517587

Strange should be up in Maine in a creepy house straight out of an Edward Gorey drawing. Chilling with the ghost of Blackbeard's ex-wife and getting into supernatural bouts with Lovecraftian beasties from beyond the realms of human understanding.
