Create an All-Black X-Team

[Paleo_Rage]

Leader: Synch- Calm, collected and centered. So much leadership potential along with an incredible power if used correctly.
Oya- Elemental powerhouse with untapped potential
Tag- Afro Latinx psionic with creative power applications
Decay- Moisture manipulation-still very much a blank slate.
Gentle-Mega powerful Brick with a connection to Wakanda and Russia.
Pathway- High end Teleporter, tragic backstory that needs to be expanded

Support cast: Claudette and Nicole St. Croix(really want the twins developed and their individual powers fleshed out), Triage, and Maggot

So i'm going with X-men:Liberators of the Galaxy BLACXMEN.jpg
It's a decent size team as it operates on two fronts. They have a a Krakoan habitat in Kenya used as their base of operations in Storm's reclaimed land. They have also opened a few krakoan plant facilities there to help the local economy grow. One team operates more on the earth front and local sol system to bring to liberate oppressed people and help strive for equality for all. They do as much work for the marginalized communities of earth as they do for the galaxy. They work closely with sword and do share intel, if Sword is the people's sword then this team is the people's shield. Theres a lot more fluttering in my mnd but yeah. lol.
Oh
Storm- Leads
Bishop-Co-lead
Triage-Healer
Nehzo and Frenzy- Strength diplomacy
Manifold- Teleportation when no Krakoan gate
Prodigy-Smarts
Synch- all arounder
Monet-Telepathy /ambassador

I love the idea that they're working closely with SWORD as the people's "shield" and is based in Kenya.

[Journey]

The Flavor just jumped out Marvel would never serve like this though. And the casuals would be in an uproar.

[MYCMTSC]

Oh this is perfect. Good mix of personalities too.

Thanks. One of the conduit teams. Together they are able to restore a star or planet to it's peak health. It is so powerful that while they can't restore the inhabitants lost they can repair a planet even devoured by galactus if there is a single stone left.

This is just pathetic, we as posters can come up with so many different team combos and there so many mutants to chose from but most of these are never in consideration.

Because the usual suspects would throw a fit about it attacking them much like Finn in Star Wars.

Along with those who would never read it.

Along with store owners who don't want it on their shelves. Screaming "no one would buy it and it would flood bins." Yeah like all the other X-Men books that do that they don't complain about.

Along with those who want JUSIFACTION of why it' all black-something they don't ask of the all white teams.

Based on powers alone- teams like these could be all of one race or one gender. So a mission of all black mutants is NOT that far fetch. There are places where that would be welcomed.

The creativity here is very inspiring, and folks doing this for free.

Shame on the paid creative staff at Marvel.

My vote is for Venom.

Latina does not equal black. As the above pic shows, we've seen both sisters depowered and they are definitely not black. They dont need to be be retconned into being Afro-latinas. Latinx in general dont get much representation as it is in the X-men so preserving the limited diversity even within that subgroup is fine

I... know Latino doesnÂ’t equal Black? ItÂ’s an ethnicity. Meaning Latinos can be white, indigenous, Asian etc. And newsflash, giving a character Black heritage doesnÂ’t make them less Latino. Unless you want to argue that Dr. Reyes is somehow less Latina than Rictor. If you do, you should probably ask yourself why that is.

Not saying a retcon is necessary, just that what weÂ’ve seen of them leaves the door open for more exploration. Similar to what theyÂ’ve done with Blink (if youÂ’d asked AoA and Exiles Vol 1 fans years ago if she was Black, theyÂ’d probably say no despite The Bahamas being established). Their childhood flashback was colored gray. If you show a picture of Jim LeeÂ’s version of Storm and Jean Grey in black and white to someone thatÂ’s never seen X-Men, they wouldnÂ’t be able to tell you which character is African and which is European. ThatÂ’s all~

THIS!!!!^^^^^^

Sunspot, Cecelia Reyes, Tag, Prodigy and Darwin are all Afro-Latine. Their race has nothing to do with their ethnicity, it doesn't make them less Latine for sure. It would be cool to see their identities be explored more because we need more afro-Latine representation. Most latines are mestizo which in simpler terms means they are biracial and could have indigenous, white, African and even asian ancestry. Wind Dancer and Rictor would be of indigenous and European descent or not to mention Thornn and Feral.

Not to mention Miles Morales is Also afro-latino. (Latine is a gender neutral term)

Hear you, but there has to be some consideration for the fact that even the best artist have had issues with drawing ethnicity in certain characters. Even though I love his art Jim Lee is no exception in this. The portrayals of black heroes is nuanced down to this type level which goes to show just how problematic things are.

Would love to see Christian and Christine return and use their New Warriors gear.

No thats not an argument Im trying to make. Cecilia is an Afro-latina, the term I used in the quote you responded to. There are not that many Latinx X-men and as the other posted listed, most tend to be Afro-latinx. The Feral sisters are not and I think its fine to leave them like that

I don think there's any room for interpretation. The two characters are not black. We've seen them without their mutations. Its clear
