I agree JC, it's too bad there are barely any good black superheroes to look up to, though it has gotten a little better since those days. I gotta disagee on Black Panther though, he's awesome. The guy has smarts, can fight, and is royalty.

I have to go back and read some of my earlier Black Panters. Just keep in mind that I'm talking about the 70s and early 80s for the most part. I seem to remember Jack Kirby doing a few that I thought were really odd. I like what they've done with both him and Cage in recent years. Thanks for posting!

Great cartoon!

My favourite black superheroes are Green Lantern and Blade. But you're right, comics are whiter than Nazi Germany.

My fellow Blacks/Afrikans if you want more positive BLACK Super heroes you must make them yourself you can't rely on whites to make good black heroes

@hebrewgod Spawn is BLACK and he is one of my favorite heroes however the guy who made this vid has a point about most black super heroes not having real superpowers(at least one I mean there are only a few black heroes that do and they came wayyyy later and then they gave all the upgraded powers to everybody else including aliens)!

[hebrewgod]

Spawn is technically black...

I feel where you're coming from. You grew up in an era when black superheroes didn't get a lot of respect. Your video based on superheroes in your childhood makes sense.

hmmm

Not to mention that Apocalypse (allegedly the most powerful mutant) was an ancient egyptian/nigerian whom we all know beyond a reasonable doubt were black people, he is never regarded as a black man. Even as a villan (albeit powerful) Marvel Comics refuse to adknowlege this blackness. Why ? Remember : if one can no longer use racism as an excuse for failure then one should also fail to excuse racism PERIOD. But.... I digress.

[Aadonis219]

You are definately right. If marvel was keen enough to make magneto malcom x to xaviers MLK they should have known that Africa has the greatest degree of genetic diversity on the planet & there are more black people on earth than white, so the majority of mutants would be black or asian as 1 in 4 earthlings is an Asian of some sort. Africa having the greatest degree of divergent or genetic variance would be MOST likely be cradle of not only human kind but mutant kind as well.

I understand what he is trying to say. While Cage and T'Challa are important now, they were not as respected or powerful in the 70's and Cage only became a lil more powerful than Spidey in the 90's run after a power boost.

This is so funny man, and real . BTW they killed off black Goliath.
