Black History Month: List Your 28 Favorite Black/African American Heroes

I'm kinda wondering if she actually got a felony conviction. Yes, this is fully for comic book reasons though.

According to her wiki, Lincoln was incarcerated at the Raft, which is a Supermax security prison. I don't imagine her winding up there without due process and conviction. Further, her true identity is known to S.H.I.E.L.D. and at least one member of the superhero community. I don't see how the bar isn't made aware of her criminal activities and disciplines her accordingly. But...comics.

She's no hero, but Janice Lincoln (the Beetle) is an attorney.

I remember her now she was dating Randy Robertson in Amazing Spider-Man.

Hard to say, she has been arrested a few times. Ex-cons can still become attorneys in most states, and disbarment isn't always permanent. Matt Murdock has been tossed into prison a couple of times and he eventually returns to the status quo. Supervilllains also seem to serve very little time behind bars, regardless of conviction. (Even less time is you consider the sliding time scale.) It's a universe where in Dan Slott's She-Hulk, comic books could be cited in cases as legal precedent, none of it really makes sense. Their legal world just operates differently. (With the existence of mutants, intelligent robots, etc. It probably would have to.)

I do like the idea of there being an "evil counterpart" to the Matt Murdocks and Jennifer Walters of the Marvel Universe, working for the Maggia, etc. to get these costumed villains back out onto the streets.

Also, speaking of Mutants... there's at least two Mutant lawyers who have at least dabbled with super-villainy: Harold Leland and Sharon Ginsberg. I don't know that either actually got disbarred for it.

Depends... the Raft has... ethical... hurdles... it failed to overcome... WAS it what the Bar association considers due process?
