Create an All-Black X-Team

[nx01a]

What inspired you to make Cecilia the leader? I’ve never thought of her stepping up like that but I’m definitely intrigued now.

Pushing her a bit out of her comfort zone is good, plus she's got actual experience with [ahem] triage as well as having a good bedside manner when necessary.
I was thinking about adding Prodigy as their logistical support/know-it-all but M has that covered.

Storm and Bishop lead:

Sunspot, M, Synch: love triangle, young black excellence, who focus on financial development, ambassadors to a brighter tomorrow.

Threnody, Dr. Reyes, Triage: forensics(death sense refined), health and wellness, utilizing Krakoan flowers and their own abilities to address medical inequities.

Tempo, Manifold: time and space logistical support.

Prodigy, Bedlam: science and technology logistical support.

Frenzy, Gentle: demolitions logistical support.

Using her role on the Quiet Council in conjunction with Bishop's position as Captain(better to make allies abroad), Storm motions for the creation of a new mutant-human outreach program focused on improving the position of the Black diaspora around the globe, in terms of health and wellness, finances and technology, and safety and security, under the auspices of a revived Mutantes Sans Frontières staffed by volunteers.

After their first few successful operations, Storm gets a call from some of her old contacts at the UN Security Council suggesting she cease and desist; she's rocking the boat too much. This will lead the team into global conflicts with an underground consortium of humans(and more) that want to keep race relations just where they are. When things begin to heat up, even close allies like Charles, Magnus, and T'Challa try to dissuade her. She and the team have other plans!

I would read the HELL out of this book!

And of course, Russell Dauterman and Oliver Coipel would alternate arcs!

Let's wish this into existence!!

Thornn and Feral are Latinas from NYC. They could definitely have Black heritage if a writer ever wanted to delve into them more. Plenty of people with Afro-Latino backgrounds have the skin tone they were shown with in their one human appearance. And we all know Marvel doesn’t have the greatest track record with that anyway (Sunspot, Monet, Storm etc). 😅

But we’ve seen their parents and family in flashbacks. No African heritage there. They straight Latina.

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 just really want Bedlam and Shola to get some more screentime. They have a lot of potential and I really want to see Cecilia in the field more often.

[Sutekh]

Gosh, there's so many!

Even leaving out some of my more popular favorites like Bishop, Sunspot and Monet, I've got;

Bling!
Frenzy
Lightbright
Midnight's Fire
Shola Inkosi
Tempo
Windshear (Colin Hume)

But that's leaving out a bunch of others like Shard and Oya and Cecelia Reyes and Jesse Bedlam that I'd want to include!

Heck, now I want an all ladies team with Bling!, Cecelia Reyes, Frenzy, Polymer (Dana Holmes), Oya, Shard and Tempo!

Agreed, I see Shola in a similar mold as Psylocke, being a good mix of psionic and tactical fighter! Aside from Tag, I don't know of any other black male psionics.

Are people mixing Bling with Blink? Or is Blink black? Not even basing on the movie DoFP which I know just did it for commercial appeal in the far East ,never saw an issue depicting Blink as black, those in the know point me to the issue
