PoC characters DC should bring out of obscurity

[Thor-Ul]

That was Orlando. He deserves the merit.

[Assam]

Much as I'm not a fan of the future presented in Doomsday Clock, it was nice to see Aruna be mentioned and, like a lot of other characters mentioned there, it'd be cool to see her show up in something. DC at this point has a few really good trans characters (who deserve to be used far more, Porcelain being relevant to this thread) but to my knowledge Aruna is the only confirmed trans hero in the present of the main DCU, as opposed to being a supporting character, a villain or from a different time period.

[Agent Z]

Koryak and Lorena from Aquaman.

[Dr. Poison]

This was a loss.

I would have loved to see Ross' version of (Black) Vulcan come into continuity. What a huge shame this got axed.

Some of my favorites that are in limbo include:


Apache Chief
Black Vulcan
Bumblebee
Dr. Light
El Dorado
Hessia
Isis
Nubia
Rima
Samurai
Thunder & Lightning(from New Teen Titans)
Vibe
Vixen

[Sandy Hausler]

Every six months or so, I have to mention my love for Gerard Jones's El Diablo, which should definitely be brought back in some fashion.

Skyrocket!


I know there's a new one on another earth, but I want this one back on our earth - Black Condor!

[Gav]

Literally every Milestone character.

[WonderScott]

I'd love to see a Justice League-esque team arise that includes:

Icon
Skyrocket
Nu'Bia
Onyx
Vixen
Ya'Wara
Extraño
John Stewart
Black Condor
El Dorado
Conjura
Amazing Man
Longshadow
Doctor Light
Pantha
Black Lightning
Black Vulcan

I'd be interested in a writer developing a series that not only tackles action and adventure and superheroics, but also racism and bigotry in the DCU from the POV of superheroes - especially the differences they may experience in their heroic versus secret identities.

ETA: And I'd have Marella, the Aquawoman from Earth 2, bounce over to Prime Earth to live and join the team.

pretty much this ^

they should use Red Lion more, he could be African Doctor Doom. also, they should bring back David Zavimbe not as Batwing, give him a new identity and have him lead his own iteration of The Kingdom.

Red Lion is just too much of a knock off Black Panther to not be considered a joke.

[Frontier]

I'm kind of surprised how long Dr. Light (the female version) has been gone.

believe what you want but I disagree. I mean, you have to admit that's a lazy comparison. he's about as much of a knock off Black Panther as Sideways is a knock off Spider-Man or Lobo is a knock off Wolverine. you can say he's a joke if you want, that's your prerogative, but there is plenty of story potential to mine from Red Lion. the only "joke" characters are characters under mediocre writers who tell mediocre stories.

Same but they messed up when they made her original Dr. Light's wife. I hope they are planning to retcon that and bring her back into the fold.

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

Blackout from Flashpoint.

He was a pakistani teenager with electric powers.
