[SIZE=1][name all the characters :-p][/SIZE][/center]
it's the return of the Africana Appreciation thread! 2020 and we back [I]BAY-BEEEE!![/I] I suspect we're in for some really amazing things from our heroes of color coming down the pipeline, Luke Fox's getting a push as (and possibly/hopefully post-) Batman, The Terrifics and Outsiders (both led by Black heroes) have both been going strong, Naomi was a big success, and, most excitedly, [B]MILESTONE HAS FINALLY BEEN SETTLED Y'ALL!![/B] So, once again, this is a thread dedicated to DC's black characters, from Africans, to those across the African Diaspora, and including black identifying Aborigines; however utilized or underutilized the character may be and regardless of alignment. I will try to keep this up to date so feel free to post anyone I missed and I will add them to the list.

Unsurprisingly, based on the last poll of 134 votes, John Stewart has emerged as DC's most popular black character with 24.63% of the votes! He's followed closely by Vixen with 20.90% and Cyborg in a distant third with 8.96%. I will be excluding these three off the poll this time to encourage more diverse votes and get people to really think on their top pick; mix it up a bit. Vixen and Cyborg will be readded to the next poll once this one is closed (assuming I'm the one doing it).
