In honor of Black History Month, I thought I'd celebrate by showcasing a few of my favorite black superheroes (and supervillains) from comics and/or other fandoms with comic tie-ins.
And if you have any favorite black characters from comics or other fandom that you'd love to showcase, then by all means post lists and/or pics in the comments. I would love to see your selections.
Cyborg from Smallville. My man is fine isn't he. Go ahead and look. THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH!!!!
And speaking of casting win on Smallville, THIS!!!!!!
And just in case you previously missed this:

Date: 2010-03-01 12:03 am (UTC)I guess I took that and the fact that she does things like attend ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood lunch http://www.life.com/image/84939916 It doesn't seem Gina Torres has said she's not Black (but I could be wrong)
As I said people have different views on this type of thing, some people would say they are Afro-Latino and not black others would say they are Afro-Latino and clearly the Afro part states they are Black.
It seemed to me that Gina Torres fell into the later group.
