Cyborg is a C-Tier hero at absolute best, why is DC trying to make him a big deal?

Because they've got no other black heroes.

Because they don't give a shit about Static, even though he's cooler.
>>
>>94515886

Because it's either they try to elevate existing Black heroes, or they do what they did to Wally and replacing existing heroes with minority counterparts.

Be glad they learned their lesson from trying the latter and changed course to the former beford they went full Marvel.

They needed a black hero diversity hire on the League and thanks to the Teen Titans cartoon he was the most obvious choice. Static has fucked Milestone rights so he was out, Steel was too Superman heavy and too similar to War Machine/Iron Man for their liking, and Mister Terrific doesnt have much exposure or potential. Personally I would have went with Vixen

I'd argue that Storm is closer to A. As far as X-Women go, she's arguably the most popular, with Rogue being the only other contender for top spot.

I would have picked Vixen too
She's got a unique power set and it would make Wonder Woman look like less of a token chick

Black Americans consume the most TV/Movies in the US. Black men are huge nerds too. The growing black middle class means there is a lot of money to be made in appealing to them in all forms of entertainment.

We will see this with other groups in the future as they move up the social and economic ladder. The is already a small push for Muslims/Arabs.

>>94515886
Would you rather they make Superman, Flash or Batman black? That's the alternative to drafting Cyborg into the League.

Cyborg was their most famous black, so that's why they went with him.

Personally I would have wanted Mr. Terrific, but he needed a whole new rebranding because the name Mr. Terrific, while I love it, is objectively dumb.

Had she appeared on a television show earlier outside of JLU like she did on the CW, she might have had a chance. She really does have a good powerset, its a nice middle ground between street level and metahuman class. Furthermore like you said, it gives Diana another woman to interact with

He didn't originate from Mother Box technology. He has components from all the main roboticists in the DCverse and he later integrates the Mother Box via technopathy.

Presumably, this ability to incorporate the Mother Box is due to him being part Amazo but I don't think that's been confirmed one way or the other

Because DC Comics ironically has very little black Heroes and all of them are C-List or below. The other black heroes are barely known outside certain circles.

It's why a lot of people call DC the Republicans Comic and Marvel the Democratic Comic

To top this off, black heroes/heroines as the focus of the comic or are the MC of the book get less revenue then someone who's Asian or Caucasian.

Jean was never the "main" female X-men. Storm is much closer to that. In fact, you could argue Storm and Cyclops were the primary characters in Claremont's run. Mid 70s to early 80s were very dedicated to Cyclops while mid 80s to early 90s were very Storm centric atleast in the main book.

13% population watching 24 hours of TV is still lower than 87% population watching 10 hours of TV.

Look, an easy example
Blacks (13% population) pays 100 $ = 0.13*323,1*100 = 4200.3 M dollars
Rest (87%) pays 50 $ = 14054.85 M dollars

They do, to comic book readers, but your average normal person who doesn't read as much wouldn't know half or any of those C-Listers. They'd know all the ones that have always been popular and the majority, if not all of the popular ones that your average, normal person knows is (thankfully) white.

If they're already watching TV 10 hours per day isn't asking for more a little overdoing it? they need to work to pay for those services, there's a limit in how many hours per day they use to watch TV, days only have 24 hours.

Marvel's big names have always been Fantastic Four, Hulk, and Spider-Man, back in the 60s and 70s. Later that was embiggened to X-Men/Wolverine in the 80s. In the 90s the hot goodness was Cable, Punisher, and Venom. Also still Wolverine.

They only started pushing Iron Man in like, what? Civil War? Up until like,Extremis or whatever, literally his ONLY story was Demon in a Bottle. The Thor/Cap Am/Iron Man trifecta is a very recent thing.

IMO
B approaching C, will be bumped back up to high B by the Lantern movie
C tier, B formerly.
B tier, formally A (90s-early 00s)
B tier, maybe A in the very near future.
B tier, formerly C but it's been awhile.
This is assuming the tier list caps at A, and not some S, AA/AAA shit.

Cycborg has been B tier since the original cartoon, though you could say he dropped to C briefly in there somewhere.

The fact that they do consume the most media is the reason you don't have to try to appeal to them in the first place. They're already watching, you've got them in the bag already. So try to get the ones who aren't watching by appealing to them with white characters.

Because there isn't a lot of other options.

John is probably one of the least popular Green Lanterns, even if he was more popular he'd just be "the black one".
The black version of Mr.Terrific is pretty dumb.
Nobody knows who Icon is and he is shitty black superman.
Black Lightning is seen as stereotypical in not just name but powerset.
You can't go with Steel or Batwing for pretty obvious affiliated reasons.
There is Vixen, but her whole schtick is primitive animal spirit magic and that is almost as bad as lightning powers.

The low effort creation of a cyborg named "Cyborg" who isn't a mantle or anything is better than those.

Again, no, that 63% watches 8 hours compared to the 10 hours of the 13%, still those 8 hours on the 63% of the population are way more than those 10 from the 13%. Srly, is pretty easy to get.

I don't think Wonder Woman is really seen as the token chick in most cases.

People who read Wonder Woman know that she deserves her spot on the team more than anyone not named Clark.

Anyone who reads Justice League knows that she isn't the token female since there's usually at least one other woman on the team or more, and that Diana commands enough respect that her word holds an obscene amount of weight and her opinions are always considered with seriousness.

And given the current state of DC movies and the direction they're going, non-comics fans are going to start viewing her as the backbone of the team and the voice of reason that keeps them all together instead of them trying to rip each other in half because Christ knows Superman is too busy being a...Well, Christ allegory, to do it himself.

The average black person watches more television thant the average white, yes, again, nobody is denying that, for the 1001th time. That's still 13% watching 7 hours against 63% watching 5 hours, guess which amounts more hours and therefore more income? which was my whole point since the begining

On average blacks consume more television than whites.

>>94518820
The wonderful thing about averages is that, when you take the whole group, it becomes exact numbers, so on average 5 hours per white person * number of white people (63% *323.1 M) is an exact number and not an obscure statistic. And that number is higher than 7 hous on average * black population.

Dude your math is fucked up. Your argument is STILL based on the notion that these studies encompass every single individual from these groups.

It also doesn't even touch on the fact that not everyone from these populations is watching TV. You know that 63% and 13% also lists infants and the blind? They're not watching TV.

That's not how it works. You're still missing a ton of information to make your claim. I'm doubting you even took a statistics course. Why do you keep trying to apply the small sample size in those articles to these large populations without taking into account all the different variables?
>>

The logical choice would have been just to push John Stewart (the only reason anyone under 40 cares about the Justice League is the cartoon) but we needed to have Hal because clearly catering to Geoff Johns's fanboy autism should be DC's most important priority

Alternately they could have done this, yes

He was my favorite character in the cartoon. "The Sum of His Parts" is also the best episode. But why is it in the Justice League clips we've seen he seems totally fucking emotionless?
>>
>>94526369
That would require anyone behind the push to actually like the character and not just be doing it because they need a token and they don't want to disrupt characters they actually care about so no

Statistics prove blacks are given harsher sentences compared to white counter parts. So it's safe to say that even though these "stats" might be true. They as in blacks are being framed for crimes.

lol this delusion

>>94516206
That image genuinly makes me think.

>>94516071
All of those are C tiers.

>>94515960
Then why aren't Iron man and ant man A listers now?
>>
>>94516013
What a shockingly original opinion.
>>
>>94526813
Iron Man isn't A-list? Seriously?
>>
>>94523847
Most people who know firestorm prefer the Ronnie + Stein combo.
>>
>>94515886
Because DC deemed the league in need of a "tech" hero since they're pushing Batman to be out in the field so much.

Originally the role would've gone to Martian Manhunter, but they also want to fill a diversity quota.

The thumbnail made me think that was XRA.

Iron Man was one of the original members of The Avengers

I wouldn't mind Cyborg if he didn't replace muh nigga J'onn

Not in comics

Or, you know. They could just not have a token nigger...

>>94515886
Because the alternative is to "diversify" their heroes à la Marvel. Do you really want black Superman, trans Wonder Woman, and differently abled Flash?

Hey don't lump us Morrisonfags with the likes of him. I'm actually surpused that Morrison never took a crack at beast boy, considering beast boy would seem right up his alley.

Speaking of, theres been a lot of McFarlane shit goin on lately. Is he trying to score a comeback or what?

That's because repeat offenses come with harsher sentences.
>>
>>94530486

It's better to use charaters you have then to make everybody DIVERSE because you can. Also cyborg is cool as fuck shut the fuck up OP
>>
>>94515886
>muh Teen Titans
Ironically, no one likes Cyborg on the Justice League precisely because people only want him as a Titan.
>>
Put it this way: Do you want the same superheroes or do you want some new blood? Maybe these C-listers can become B and A-listers with enough promotion and push from DC. Funny how people complain about stagnation yet when the opportunity arrives for change, they reject it.

Oh well.

>>94532298
This is the reason why they keep changing character's races instead of highlighting the more obscure characters that fulfill their imagined quotas.
>>
>>94523847
Firestorm is too OP to be featured in any kind of media, even capeshit. The character would have to act like a complete retard to make any sort of story possible
>>
>>94515886
He has no good rogues gallery.
>>
>>94530486
I'd like to believe that DC isn't so incompetent that the only alternative for them is to go the Marvel route.
>>94532085
Cyborg is fucking lame, the only people who genuinely care about him are cartoon fags and they're not even being given that version of the character.

I always considered Martian Manhunter to be his own kind of token minority character.

>>94532717
They should follow suit with Injustice and make Deathstroke his arch-nemesis

I actually think he has a lot of potential, TT showed that several times when he wasn't being funny. easily my favorite of the group.
