James Peterson on the myth of the Black Superman

[sumbuddyx]

i dunno, cage has been a favourite character since new avengers because he was street level and let's not forget that he's not a criminal, just framed as one. it's one thing for superheroes to focus on the next crisis or whatever but cage's role in keeping the heroes grounded and trying to make the community better seems more powerful somehow. you could remove the unbreakable skin from his story and his feature film would be the most real superhero movie there is.

Very interesting; I haven't read comics since the 60's (except for Sandman). Tell me more; what's the source of these videos?

he mentions Reginald Hudlin's work on the current Black Panther mytho's but all Hudlin did was work off of Christopher Preist's earlier treatment from his run on the Black Panther book.

@DocHartford THANK you. Hudlin Black Panther run was actually borng to me, but Priest's was amazing. Still waiting on getting those issues collected.

Wow, I can't belive I never connected T'Challa as having the same name as the black panther party.
