Minorities In Comics and Related Media

I'm not seeing how that would be the case. The average racist generally hates gay people too so being both would piss them off twice as much.

The problem is instead of going with the strong, well-developed, leader in Kaldur they have decided to go with walking blank slate Jackson Hyde. The same one who couldn't even got into the f'n water at first. Also, going from that preview and past experiences, I have no faith in Geoff Johns's ability to write any POC, much less a character who is gay and Black.

You make great points. I wanted to see Kaldur for months, but the way he was presented left me quite detached.

Johns wrote him like a non-metallic Victor Stone.

Outside of Black Manta, Johns totally fails at writing black characters.

Give up on mainstream DC until the current regime is toast... Which if the rebirth sales falter won't take too long.

Those guys seem like teflon.

This is about WWE, but it applies to DC too.

I agree, lol!

Didio, Lee, Harras, & even Johhns are like mobsters.

They fail time after time, yet remain in power.

DC needs new leadership.

NuPower Man and White Tiger ( both Latino) at Marvel were dating for a moment. I don't know if they were shown to have sex yet?

They have not and last I checked they are still broken up with Vic wanting to move on

By the way, which writer established that Shiloh Norman is Jewish?

[Kasper Cole]

The fact that Bob Harras is even there is mind boggling.

[Holt]

Was it in the 80's series or Grant Morrison?

Outside of Brightest Day-we have nothing to go by with him except Young Justice.

That's my point. If this were a character who had a ton of romantic history with women that'd be one thing, but Aqualad really doesn't. Even in the TV show his one onscreen female love interest was an ex who ended up dating his best friend (he really got did bogus).

The fact that Bob Harras is even there is mind boggling.

Especially when he got fired from Marvel over not being able to bring in new readers in the early 2000's.

Being gay and black will somehow turning Atlantians using that as civil rights or something like that.

I seriously doubt anyone in Atlantis is gonna care that Aqualad is gay. If anything he'll face crap for having human parents (assuming that's still part of his origin.)

Or the current editor that has them in got water that they're ignoring

I think it was Grant Morrison.

Speaking of which is he still Black Manta's son in this continuity?

I think so. That was a plotline they were developing for him in the old books before the reboot cut it short, so I figure now that he's in continuity again they'll do more with it.

It's why I'm guessing Jackson will show up in Abnett's new Aquaman run, because Manta is going to be a a major threat in the first arc. Perfect time to introduce a new Aqualad and deal with his parentage.
