I’m super excited about Amazing-Man’s role in Taylor’s next project. Supposedly it’s Injustice: Zero Year featuring the JSA. Would be cool if AM was a founding member of the JSA in that universe.
I think so much can be done with the character. The Watchmen tv show displayed how much potential there is for stories featuring a black superhero in the 1940s not only dealing with supervillains but with the extreme racism of the time. Plus Amazing-Man was a Civil Rights leader in DC mythology. Lots to explore and it makes him very socially relevant.
He also has a cool look and a classic superhero name. I would love to see more POC superheroes with the iconic “superhero” look. What can I say, I’m a fan of capes. It makes a character look larger than life. A character like Icon looks very natural standing next to the Trinity on Young Justice. Amazing-Man could be that for main DC continuity.
As far as his powers go, I think they’re great as no other top tier superhero has them. A creative writer could do some fun things with that power set. Hell, Amazing-Man could potentially absorb kryptonite and take down Superman.
