Celebrating Black Superheroes

Cross-posted:


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!!!!!!

You know, sometimes child actors grow up and they're not as attractive as one would have guessed. Lee Thompson Young? Was fine when I was in middle school and is still fine today. SERIOUSLY GUH. The famous Jett Jackson ♥♥♥

Zoe! I want Gina Torres for Wonder Woman or Hippolyta so much it hurts.

I would like to add Agent 355 to this list. She might not have any superpowers, but if she existed in the main DC Universe she would dethrone Batman as biggest non-powered badass.

Not to disagree with 355's awesomeness, but that pic's Allison Mann, not 355.

Whoa. Are you certain? I know that she's dressed as Dr. Mann is in the story, but I was always certain it was 355 anyway. The more you know I guess.

God, I feel like a bit of an ass right now, haha

It's the cover to the flashback ish that shows Mann's punk college days. Note the pink lipstick N she wrote on the mirror to spell out her name.

Yeah, I knew it was that issue, but for some reason it always read as 355 to me.

I'm not going to lie, you've totally shattered my world with this, hahah. I'm been using that picture to represent 355 for a long time. *hides under rock*

Well, here is a picture of 355 looking badass anyway:

Holy shit. Really?

[sandoz_iscariot]

Yep, really.



Back to 355 awesomeness:

Gina Torres for Wonder Woman? That is the first casting suggestion for Wonder Woman I can actually support. She would be excellent.
