GodSpeedKnight7 I apologize in advance for being long winded in response. A couple diffent statements here; Its okay, you can say black people. You dont have to generalize your statement. I promise we (black people) mostly won't go at you if you do. However, you must remember something, most black people have a different taste in what entertains them. However, more than that you need publication for anyone to be aware of anything. Most black people often don't like it when black superheroes are juxtaposed to black exploitation; insert Lule Cage catchphrase, "Sweet Christmas!" Most black people didn't speak like that in the 70's, even in "jive" talk. Yet, if you don't have money behind your publication, You're done! Period! You must remember it's not a case of most blacks not wanting more representation in comics, they simply didnt know who these people were in Milestone Comics during the 90's. Consider if you will, MC started in 1993 by 6 black comic book writers. In 1993, the Uncanny X-Men dominated the comic and television cartoon series world. There is no denying this at all! You lived for Fleer silver packaged comic trading cards in the 1990's. In fact, Fleer started as a baseball card trading company, and before folding, Marvel single handedly purchased them and held them afloat for another 10 years. You need money behind you to do that in any world. It takes time for a character to get over. Supes started in the 50's and didn't become white hot until the Golden age in the mid to late 80's. Black Panther was the absolute first black super hero form 1963. He didn't become white hot until the early 2000's. Batman became white hot thanks to Adam West. DC & Marvel had a team of staff writers. MC had 6. DC & Marvel aren't going to easily allow you to encroach without serious financial backing. Back stories can make or brake a character. I mean without DC we probably wouldn't be aware of Icon, Black lightning, or static shock. MC was pretty much done in 1996, so they had to do a deal with DC to get their characters out there. They simply didnt have the money and time put in that Marvel and DC had put in. World War 2 is what put Marvel and DC over the hill. They rolled a full war effort comic that popularized people like Supes, Batman, Wonder Woman etc. MC had nothing to piggy back from so their battle uphill was daunting. Plus, when you say black super hero in the 90's people weren't that open to it. So, it's not we don't want representation, many of us as black people are just starting to catch on. If you don't mass publish it, we simply don't know about it.

Milestone going with DC was a not so bright move on their part. They should've stayed independent and published their own stories without the hold up from DC or DC picking which Milestone character they want to put out there at whatever time they feel like it. DC already has a Superman, why would they get excited about another one especially when it's a portrayal of an extremely strong aborigines, copper colored male with no weaknesses unlike their favorite son Superman. Imagine if Icon or hardware etc. were given the push and backing like Superman or Batman.. I believe the majority of urban kids would have a superman they can relate to and look up to. We need more people of our culture creating and telling these storylines and giving our youth more hope and motivation to do great things with their lives.

I think Icon is a great superman stand-in. whilst no one can really relate to Superman or any heroes like Superman we like to see our best selves in those characters. Icon filled a void for a lot of people in seeing their selves in a pure hero. thank you for introducing or reintroducing Icon to people

Very awesome, I just did a video on the DC comics "Other" supermen, and Icon was one of my top 7. I have to say if there was one character who needs more attention...well that would be booster gold, but up close to that is Icon. It's easy to write him off as 'black superman' but there is a lot more there, everyone needs to look into this character more.

lol He's not a Superman rip off at all. Nothing about Icon is similar to superman in any way, other than his powers, but if that's the case, anyone with a cape and super strength is a rip off, which means Superman would be the only hero with super strength to wear a cape. By your logic, no one could come after superman. I think most people say he's a rip off b/c he is virtually equal with cooler powers.

Killer Bee Majority of Icons powers superman already has the only ones that he has that are his won are his energy based ones. which could I could counteract by saying well Superman still has his heat vision ice breath and of course his latest power his solar flare. And he is not equal to Superman its stated in the video that he is near Supermans level of strength.
@killerbee792
@killerbee792 8 жыл бұрын
@KON- EL, Icon shares about two power sets with supes, speed and strength, that's it. he does not have ice breath or heat vision, he's not like Supes what so ever, considering speed and super strength make up about 90% of all superhero powers, so how are they the same? Also, the only reason I say Icon is arguably stronger than Supes, and don't flat out give him the win, is because he hasn't had enough time to shine, because on paper, his powers trump Superman's. He has strength on par with supes, but his positron energy can be coupled with his strength to increase it's power to unlimited levels, this is also why Shazam doesn't stand a chance.

Well knock me down with a feather! That statement sure brought into focus the horrors of slavery. Especially for people who had no previous concept of it. Brilliant interjection there, Arris.
