P Diddy did a blog about Hancock a few months ago, and we felt the need to set the record straight and correct some of his false statements. This is part 1

Where are you ladies from? I think its cool that you are into this genre. There have been quite of few black comic book heroes. Marvel and DC. The ones from DC were pretty lame though.

We are from Detroit.

I feel, that in this genre(as in many) we need more representation and better representation.We should have more characters on equal footing, as the other well established characters and personalities.It's been far too long, to have only a handful of recognizable and worthy black characters. Black people, love and appreciate comics,anime and sci-fi just as much as anyone else and should be well represented. So the industry needs to step its game up.

the thing that kills me with hancock ais the lack of good villians and believing that he was ever in any danger. his powers match that of superman in terms of strength but his weakness was kinda stupid and almost impossible to capitalize on....so to me i felt the character was never in any danger there for i wasnt captured emotionally by the movie.....Blade was the opposite. you cared about the characters and blade could be hurt and beaten which made for a better movie

@rjlee10 I agree. We need more characters in a wide range of character types in the big movies. they shouldn't all be squeaky clean and perfect, and/or just fit acceptable quota/models. Hancock was better for me because he was depressed, messing up, went through the changes, and then stepped up as the exceptional superhero. He had the heroine too (kind of).

[sferemonk]

Black Panther and Luke Cage were the first. But the ratio up until the 90s was probably 100 white superheroes to 3 or 4 black superheroes. Though somehow silver surfer, submariner and Hulk felt black to me.

Mace Windoo was the lead character in the first drafts of Star Wars, but I doubt he was seen as black then.

P Diddy was just talking up Hancock without thinking, of course he knew about Luke Cage, Black Panther, and Blade.

superman or captain america would never swear or drink at any point in their life.

@bballervirgo1 ~DC has some very good Black heroes. Steel is one of my favorites. The movie however was executed poorly. Like alot of comics movies are. Muhammad~X is a good character; so good that Will Smith did a movie called Hancock based on him. Bronze Tiger is awesome; he beat up the Batman in a fair fight. Vixen is a great character. Black Lightning is good. GREEN LANTERN JOHN STEWART. Static is good. Black Manta is good. The problem isn't the characters, it's the company and the writers.

@STRYDENT I've seen the Spawn movie (liked it) and a couple of tv episodes. I've come across a few Spawn comics but I wasn't inspired to read. I'm just not a fan of the storyline and character, but I still like Spawn.

[STRYDENT]

@ProphetGuardian Do you like them in comic form? Or did you dig the movies?

I like the comic book iterations, but I hated the movie versions, even with my hommie Micael Jai White, Spawn was Awful.

[ProphetGuardian]

I can kind of see were P. Diddy is coming from. All the Black superheroes seem down and dirty. Like Blade goes around killing people( which goes against superhero code # 1), and Spawns in hell. Unlike the squeaky clean white counter parts such as Superman and Spiderman. You obviously point out that the more positive Black superheroes like Meteor Man and Steel sucked. When P. Diddy was a kid which was way back in the 1970's those characters didn't exist.

[ProphetGuardian]

The problem is we want great super heroes from someone who can't give us that. We would have to get are own artist and creative writers who represent us. Then start are own companys that way they'll meet up to par.
