DC has all of the fucking best black comic book characters. This

>>87887389
Who's the one between Static and John Stewart?

Plus you forgot The Wall and Bloodwynd.

>>87887430
Batwing, David Zavimbe.

>>87887389
>6 of them are tech guys
>3 Have electricity powers
lmao. Also what are these? They don't look like DCC or Heroclix

>>87887389
This is a well known fact to anyone who is not a casual

The only one out of all of these I like is Manta. Static is cool, I guess, but I never read him beyond the cartoon. Stewart a shit.

>>87887389
I was going to argue on this, but you're fucking right.

How will Marvel ever recover?

>>87887430
Batwing. He´s on Detective comic´s current arc.

>>87887526
By pushing Moon Girl harder.

DC do have some pretty cool black heroes

>>87887389
Yet none of them are as great or Iconic as Tchalla. And to a lesser extent Cage.

Top lel

Only Mr. T is goat.

Marvel has Cage, Fury, Storm, Cloak, Bishop, Blade and mother fucking Monica Rambeau

Marvel wins, and I didn't even list BP and Falcon.

>>87887389
As a group they suck, the mechanic/electric theme is a bit way too recurrent don't you think? A momochromatic group can't be best.

>>87887389

Jesus Christ, half of these black "characters" are just white hero analogues.

Black Panther, Falcon, Cage, Storm... at least they're their own characters.

>>87887605
He is severely underrated.

Cyborg is pretty shit as a solo hero and happens to be DC's most prominent black character right now

>>87887949
I really can't stand Cyborg outside of Teen Titans. Why is DC so dead-set on pushing him?

>>87887526
By turning their white characters black. Y'know, like they have been doing for a while now.

>>87888004
They want him to be as popular as the other Justice League members, they're trying to raise him up to their level. Problem is, he really shouldn't have been a founding JLA member in the first place and so nobody really buys him as one.

>>87888004
They don't have any better black hero.

Well, Static "better" is but the casual market doesn't know who is him so its as good as non existing

Negro, are you for real?

LOL no.

The only good one there is Steel. You notice how all of them are in limbo or supporting characters

>In b4 Cyborg
Nobody gives a shit about him black or white.

Its weird DC decided to push the barely human black character

>>87888048
They should've just used Vixen. It adds diversity points and also means Wonder Woman isn't the only female on the team. Plus she fills a niche none of the other members fit into (Batman could easily fill the 'good with tech' niche). She's also a classic Justice League character so it doesn't feel weird seeing her with them unlike Cyborg who is traditionally Teen Titans.

>>87887389
Yup.

I like Prowler, but they never do anything with him ever, and Black Panther is only good under certain writers, otherwise he is Marvel Batgod. Luke Cage is pretty good, but only God tier when he's with Danny.

>>87887389
I like DC but Marvel is objectively better in this department.

>>87888140
>Black Panther is only good under certain writers
You can say the same about almost evvery character

>>87888105
I'm partial to single father of two girls school teacher Black Lightning, but Vixen is a good one too.

>>87888177
Black Lightning is a good choice too, literally anyone would be a better choice than Cyborg

>>87887389
static is in fact a milestone character.

milestone has the best black characters

>>87888301
No they dont

People really exaggerate milestone's quality

>>87888301
>Still hanging on to a distinction that has been meaningless for almost 20 years now

>>87888325
Milestone is pretty objectively awesome.

That it was taken from us before it's time means it never had a chance to go bad.

They do even if you leave out the rest of milestone.

>>87887922
Is Steel a Legacy Hero with him being inspired by Supie and Captain/Citizen/Commander Steel guys running around DC?
Also I personnally like the Milestone characters running around in DCU. The original Dakota-verse felt cramped.

>>87887949
Black Panther - He's cool.

Storm - Only Chris Claremont can write her well, otherwise she's fucking trash.

Luke Cage - Ruined by Brian Michael Bendis.

Falcon - Fucking boring.

Blade - Not even fucking relevant anymore and when he was it was only for his Marvel comic book movies.

Monica Rambeau - *yawns* (not even worth a real comment, she's bland as burnt fucking toast)

>>87887621
>By giving Ewing a Blue Marvel

And making sure Bendis doesn't write Blue Marvel again.

>>87888620
I just Want Static to be a Titan but Milestone is getting shoved back into their continuity

Fury is a blaxploitation legacy and most of those are literal whos

It's interesting that DC has actually made more characters black after the fact than Marvel.
Also, DC's black cape films have all done dismally.
And very few of them have featured as the star of a book/leader of a team compared to Marvel.

Not him, but the guy he responded to listed such stars as Bloodwynd, Diggle, and alternate universe Supermans

>>87887389
but marvel has luke cage, misty knight, miles morales, Black panther, Falcon, Blade, Monica, Blue Marvel, moon girl, Riri williams, Black bolt, storm, Alex Wilder, and manga doctor doom. that is a bunch of heroes that do different shit and aren't just mantles (some are)

I guess Waller might be, if we're just talking about black female DC characters and not just superheroes. But even that might be moving laterally.

Felicity was already in the comics, as a Firestorm character. The only reason she then once again appeared in DC Comics was due to Arrow's show writer, Kreisberg, writing 6 or 7 issues of Green Arrow, which no one liked, especially after Lemire's run.

DC Wins because they have the Blackest character. Cloak and Dagger can't compete.

>>87890668
Heard of Barracuda?
Several Serpent Society members are black, including Black Mamba, Puff Adder, Cottonmouth, Rock Python, Diamondback...

Luke Cage has plenty of black villains, because
he regularly appears in comics, like Black Mariah, Bushmaster, Hardcore, Shades...

You've got black Spider-Man villains like Tombstone and Vermin and Slyde and Menace

Black Panther villains like Erik Killmonger, Moses Magnum and yes, Man-Ape

Plus random/team guys like Thunderball, Condor and King Bedlam

And that's leaving out all the olden 70's villains.

Seriously, you've never read a Marvel comic right? You just talk out your ass about them?

>>87890947
Cloak is literally a hole to Blackspace. And he has a white girlfriend sidekick.
He's WAYYYYY blacker than Ebon.

>>87891009
I can still see Cloak's face.
Ebon's runs a superpowered gang, is masked in 24/7 darkness yet still has his cornrows, and his name literally means Black.

You must concede. However, I'll give you the white girlfriend bit. That was good.

>>87887389
Almost none of these characters are as developed as Black Panther and Luke Cage. And this is a massive DCfag speaking.

>>87887389

I think DC writes better comics overall but Marvel has better Black characters.

Vixen and Icon are pretty great though.

Cloak is an ex-junkie who lives in the streets, and is a man sized hole to the Dimension of Blackness.
Even leaving his white GF aside, he's blacker than Ebon.
>>87891241
That's because DC uses black Superheroes as silent props in teams to show Batman and Superman aren't raciss.

DC has some shit black characters
all of them are either in limbo or just scrapping for page time behind a white hero
At least Miles has his own book can't say that for static or aqualad(who DC made gay because muh diversity)

>>87891337

Benis pls.

>>87891386
and that's why Marvel always wins
DC can't even break Cyborg after like 6 years of pushing him down people's throats
whereas Marvel just needed bendis to write Luke Cage and he became really popular.

>>87887768
literally who

>>87891386
Wait they made Aqualad gay?
feminizing of black men continues
Are they gonna make John Stewart gay too

>>87891462
They would never risk making John Stewart interesting in any way.

>>87891462
Aqualad was apparently originally intended to be gay.

I don't like it either, but it's apparently what the original creator wanted.

Don't be delusional, mate, most casuals will at least recognize Cyborg even if its only for the cartoons, but no one knows who static is.

Black Nick Fury is more popular than all of those combined in the public eye
