That’s a lot of characters that DC hasn’t used in a while it seems. For me, I want to see DC do more with Black Condor, the John Trujillo Vernon with the Mayan roots. So much potential there! Rainmaker is another with immense potential! She can be like DC’s Storm

If they're to update Apache Chief, it might be best to steer clear of giving him magic-based powers as too many American Indigenous characters in superhero works have those.

Yeah, its kinda a go-to considering how a mystic, magical angle just fits. But I can appreciate the desire to try for something a little more unique in regards to his power set.

Butcher (John Butcher) an ally of Green Arrow.

So Oliver has two racial minority allies whose first names are John and have a military background?

[Midnight_v]

Um... sure.

Recently El Dorado came up.
Reading his few appearances and remembering him form the superfriends.

It just made me feel like the next time some hotshot writer has an AMAZING SUPERMAN TALE... put them on EL DORADO and have them tell that same story. Put it through some editors who actually done the research about the legend AND the character. This way he gets at least one, epic story, because legends grow with each telling and each story.


And of course the blue beetle needs all the love he can get. One of the best new characters created in forever and slowly slipping into obscurity for no good reason.

I think the Young Justice show has done that with the Tye Longshadow character. I think he's the best adaptation of Apache Chief and probably the best Native American character in DC media.

El Dorado has so much untapped potential! His origins are tied to Mesoamerica and some really cool concepts in Indigenous mythology/history! I hope someone realizes that someday and utilizes it. He can be from a secret ancient Native society hiding in the jungles of Latin America with their temples and pyramids, worshipping their deities! He also has a cool power set is insanely OP.

Hopefully Blue Beetle will get more attention when his own show/solo movie is announced! He’s too good a character to be kept in limbo.

Hal Jordan's old sidekick Tom Kalmaku, was an Eskimo; I don't know if it was ever revealed whether he was Innuit or Tlingit.

Hal had a sidekick? Wow I learned something new today.

Maybe they should bring him back and give him a ring, maybe a Blue one would work.

One idea I proposed for Tom was having him be abducted by the Dominators and experimented on, granting him super powers. After escaping and starting a family, his son Tye Longshadow is kidnapped and now he and his wife have to rescue him.

Around 1998 Tom was given powers as a member of a group called The New Guardians. He gave them up to be with his wife and children. Does anyone know whatever happened to the rest of the New Guardians?

There are several on-line bios of Tom. I like this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kalmaku

Several bios identify him as an Inuit. He was nicknamed "Pieface" in the 1960s; I was unaware back then that this was a racist term.
