Except Storm, who is the most beautiful female black character in Marvel Comics?

She was black, outside of some color flubs & rushed panels. Then she was white in a crossover, and Peter David just made her white period in X-Factor until enough people complained, then she was darkened a bit but still flip-flopped between brown, tan, & white.

I tend to doubt Peter David made her white -- I don't recall him making any comment on her race in-story in the earlier issues of the run, and he wasn't in charge of the art. Seems like it would be the colourist who is the more likely culprit there.

Peter David did directly address Darwin's skin colour in-story though, with reference to how his powers had resulted in him having a whiter appearance over time. After that he wrote about Darwin reverting back to his more natural skin tone, at which point the art went along with the script (most of the time).

Peter David said enough. When asked about Monet being white, he says her skin color was confusing and that they had no proof she was "African-anything." Then when he got complaints later it X-Factor, he got an attitude & said people would still be complaining if she was made dark as Storm.

So while the colorist was a problem, PAD didn't seem to care much about correcting them. And didn't seem to want her to be that dark himself anyway.

And Darwin's situation is heavily racist. So I sure as Hell am not gonna compliment him on that. lol A black man named after a racist scientist who preached about white being the ultimate evolution & dark being inferior & subhuman is given the power of evolution where he turns into a white man. NOPE!!!!!

I really wish more would be done with her. Moon Girl may be the newest black girl genius on the roster, but Tilda is the original, and is totally refreshing. I could care about who the smartest *man* in the world is, Reed or Tony or Doom, when there are so few *women* geniuses out there, like Tilda. (It's not enough, IMO, to create a bunch of new kids in those roles, like Moon Girl or Nadia Pym, so much as to develop those that already exist.)

This. I’d love to see her, MODAM, and Superia headlining a female version of AIM, giving writers the chance to create a bunch of female super-scientists, while also developing and building on the foundation they already have.
