Favorite Black DC Hero?

[Dr. Poison]

Vixen is my favorite. I love her power-set and appearance. Plus she's a strong, confident Black woman which sits quite well with me. Runner up is Black Lightning followed by Bumblebee.

Kaldur from YJ, but only YJ. His comic incarnation is underwhelming.

Yeah, I have a similar issue with Aqualad. It's strange how compelling he is in the show but his comic counterpart is just kinda meh.

Connor got my vote.
Jefferson a close second and John Stewart third.

[Tony Stark]

Mr. Terrific. He has been one of my all time favorite characters from the very first time I saw him. Just an amazing character and glad to see The Terrifics still going.

Hardware. He had the best villain in milestone, and arguable the clearest most well paced evolution. He started as a real vigilante, basically like the Punisher. He was essentially the incarnation of black rage, but he realized that wasn't really getting him anywhere and it was making him into a monster, so he started to become an actual hero, and only then was he able to beat his masters.

[Darkseid Is]

Some of my favorite characters like Damien and Guy Gardner I didn't like and grew to love. When I read through Wolfman and Perez's Teen Titans books I didn't like Cyborg at first. I know he was supposed to be a tragic character but he just made me depressed. Then there was the issue where he played ball with the handicapped kids. Still one of my favorite issues and gave me that thing in my throat haha One of favorite characters ever since. Loved it when they put him on the Justice League.

Static shock, I basically grew up on his cartoon show and I loved every minute of it. Love that they added him to Young Justice.

Followed by that is probably John Stewart, I pretty much love all the green lanterns but again I grew up with him being in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. After that Aqualad/Aquaman/Kaldur who is a character who’s great in cartoons but who I wish they’d do more with in comics(seriously he could at least be in the Aquaman ongoing).

But most surprising is that I actually do like Val-zod. Not many people liked Earth 2 from what I understand but I enjoyed parts of it and he was genuinely one of my favorite parts of it.

Agree about Val, really like him and I think he should be more prominent

Voted for terrific, love him, close seconds vixen and john

[failo.legendkiller]

John Henry Irons got my vote.
Connor Hawke a close second.

[Vinsanity]

John but BL, Cyborg, Vixen and Batwing (both versions) are up there.

[Lirica]

I picked Static. I haven't read any of his comics, but I loved the cartoon when I was younger. While I did watch the other DCAU cartoons on and off, Static Shock was the one I made sure to tune in for. Behind him, in a close second, is Vixen.

[j9ac9k]

Hmmm.... no Legion love? XS all the way.

Also, would Rebis count? I'd vote for hir then...

[Dr. Poison]

I think it would be cool to see a team form to take on challenges in the Black communities across the globe. The team could consist of:


Aqualad
Batwing
Black Lightning
Bumblebee
Dr. Mist
Green Lantern(John Stewart)
Mr. Terrific
Nubia
Signal
Steel(John Irons)
Vixen
XS

[Lightning Rider]

Really hard to choose between Mr. Terrific, John Stewart, Vixen, Black Lightning. Dammit.

[Korath]

Still Duke Thomas, but Naomi is making a bid for first place, and Mr. Terrific is firmly rooted in the third place. All the others are great, but those are my favorite.
