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

[Shadowcat]

Monica and Nightshade.

[Cville]

As well as her hairstyle.

Ewing did a page addressing this hairstyle and why she went to natural braids. It was one of those topical moments.

[Gav]

Either Monet, Misty Knight, or Friction (a hero of "the New Universe").

[Tulku]

Monica Rambeau, without a doubt. Although Monica Lynne runs a close second.

What is it with the Monicas?

Someone at Marvel must really like Monica. lol

[Electricmastro]

Unless I missed something about their parentage, or about the way "black" is defined in the USA, Dust and Excalibur don't belong to the list.

Alright, I'll update it based on your concern then.

Monica Rambeau; the original version with natural hair, not the revised version with her hair straightened to meet eurocentric beauty standards.

[Iron Maiden]

I think the new version makes Monica look like Halle Berry....nothing wrong with that

I'll add a vote for Nightshade too, but not the Occupy Avengers version.

from MODOK's 11. Now she has sort of grunge/punk look or whatever.

[Triniking1234]

As well as her hairstyle.

I don't like Land's Monica.

I don't like Land's Monica.

What do you got against traced Hale Berry?

What do you got against traced Hale Berry?

That's basically what the artist was shooting for... Halle Berry or Paula Patton. I hope we're not here to knock them as attractive.

As for someone's comment earlier re: Eurocentric hairstyle, again, let's not beat up the artists. There's no agenda there. It's not like every single Afrocentric woman in America goes with a natural look. More often than not, at least here in California and in my travels to the East Coast and back again, I see far more sistas without the natural look than with it. And by "far more", I'm talking upwards of 85% - 90%. That includes weaves and the like. As long as Marvel artists present the full range of hairstyles, including having the same woman wear different types of hairstyles as personality, fashion and whim dictate, then let's just roll with it.

What bothers me more about Marvel is how there are periods throughout Marvel history where there aren't any African American women heroes. Can we get someone to establish that the 616 version of Power Princess was an immortal sista, who lived in Washington DC circa 1910 - 1950s, and who helped protect the country from all manner of threats?

[Electricmastro]

What do you got against traced Hale Berry?

No complaints from me, because I DO think that Halle Berry is pretty cute after all.

[Gaastra]

A better look for M would be with her new Hellfire Club Inner circle imho...

They turned M evil? That stinks.

[Jesse-James]

Cecelia Reyes, hands down!
