WHERE ARE THEY. I DON'T SEE ANY MOVIES OR COMIC BOOKS WITH PEOPLE OF COLOUR SUPER HEROS IN THEM WHY?
Because our men don't wear tights in public? LOL! All these super heroes love wearing tights. I don't know the answer & I don't care why either.
I haven't seen an overweight superhero either. I wonder why. Since these movies are mostly made in America & America having the highest obesity rate in the world you'd think someone would create Fat-Man, crime fighter from McDonald City.
Ororo Munroe (tv/comic)
Black Panther (comic)
Black Lightning (comic)
Falcon (comic)
Luke Cage (comic)

Most comics and superheroes are a form of social commentary for white folks. Blacks in America, however, use rap music as their social commentary.


You really think that is the reason why more blacks have not been featured as superheroes?
Nvm...
Ah, I'm gonna leave this alone. I'm pissy.....
*sip tea* As you were.
Better stick to coloring books, at least you can add the color you like.

Spawn! No one put Al Simmons up there. He isn't a Superhero per se but he's 100% all bad assery going on.

neorotoxin and watercup actually Americans are getting healthier...i think we'll see a decline in obesity rates, by the way people are obese not only because of eating, but poverty, bad stuff is cheap, whilst good stuff is for the wealthy...
organic foods cost an arm and leg.


That's good because some people were scarily big. LOL! It's honestly a nice change. I get that people don't get fat because of eating, some medical issues play a role too, so yeah..I'm glad you guys are getting healthier.
