How do you feel about a black Superman?

Question

Are you sick and tired of everything having to be politically correct

Answer 1

Why stop there? The new Superman must be a Black woman cross-dresser who is openly queer.



Pardon the pun, but by the same token, the new Wonder Woman must be an Asian man having a neuter gender-identity.



To provide true balance to the superhero universe, the new Supergirl must be a Hispanic transsexual that hates men but insists on being surrounded by phallic objects.



That’s what WE demand!



《--(Sarcasm, for those too stupid to realize it)

Answer 2

don't care. if it is really someone of charisma - great. If it is just a dull black dude to be politically correct, I think we can do without it.

Answer 3

As a DC fan i have no issue with a black superman , there are different versions of superman in parallel earths . they had one superman raised by Mexicans in the DCAU (which i loved) there is also a black wally west in the new 52



tho l love orignal black characters even more like cyborg , static shock , green lantern john stewart , vixen , steel , mrterrific etc

Answer 4

I think its a nice idea! But they've had him white for so long I feel like it may take a little while to get used to for other people

Answer 5

couldn't be any worse than white superman, but i'll stick to indie comics all the same.

Answer 6

The same way I feel about ALL aliens that look exactly like humans - it's a bunch of crap! You know, like the old "Star Trek" show where all of the aliens resembled humans, and spoke perfect English. A black Superman from planet Krypton would be just as unbelievable as a white Superman from planet Krypton.

Answer 7

Plenty of black superheroes. We all remember the westerns where these pastey white people played Mexicans and blacks. They even continue to do so today and whites don't even speak up about it so why should they about a black superman?



A black superman would be great. Maybe Idris Elba could play him. Would be cool.

Answer 8

I feel skin colour is an irrelevant cosmetic issue. Black, Asian or Arab superman makes no difference to me. Only racists make an issue of it.

Answer 9

All Ghetto dwellers had super heros. The ones who could out run the

cops when they robbed 7-11's. Or the crack dealers or the Pimps.

Or the gang leaders.

Answer 10

I grew up with plenty of black superheroes - Black Panther, Luke Cage, Black Lightning, Storm, Captain Marvel, etc. . . . there's something racist I think that black superheros are only valid heroes when they step into the shoes of formerly white superhero characters.

Answer 11

The same way I feel about a Jewish or saiyan superman

Answer 12

Not cool. Any hero should start from scratch. You can't just change their skin color in the middle of the game. We grew up with a white super man. He's white. Who cares? That's like saying we should have a white Luke Cage. He is Black and he is a badass. Screwing with superheroes is stupid. They are who they are. Why should color have anything to do with it? It's a moot point. Mr Miyagi is Japanese, are we going to make a black or white miyagi from Okinawa? No, it is what it is.

Answer 13

Nah man.

Answer 14

The recent Batman vs. Superman movie, was completely lifted, from a 1980's comic book story arc, known as The Death of Superman. It was a HUGE thing at the time, because , like the movie, they were going to actually KILL Superman. This was a MASSIVE event in the comic book world. And , like in the movie.......he does, actually DIE in the comic book, as well. Funeral, burial, the Whole 9 yards.



But where the movie ended.........is at the funeral. The comic books, then went on for MONTHS.......about what happened NEXT.............and he actually, sort of, kinda of returned, not once, not twice, but 4 different ways.



they introduced 4 new characters, all claiming to be Superman, but in some new changed form.



One of them, was in fact, STEEL. A big burly black guy....(a blacksmith, supposedly) -....who was buried in the rubble of the fight......but then emerges from the rubble...... determined to take Superman's place.



a little like Iron Man, I suppose, he fashions himself a SUIT, out of .......you guessed it........STEEL.......



(since Superman was the Man of Steel, get it) .......and starts fighting crime, under the name of STEEL.



(so he keeps the Big S, ya see? ) So he was a Black Superman, in that story arc.



The Others were Super BOY.....(a clone experiement, ended prematurely, so he comes out still a teen, instead of full grown) Cyborg.....supposedly Superman......but the damaged parts that killed him, were rebuilt with Robotics.....(but he's also more evil) ........and then also a Pure Kryptonian Superman, who supposedly is created with some Kryptonian device called the Eradicator. (Superman.....but colder, less human....more strictly logical......like Spock, kind of, who has lost all his humanity. )



The battle rages on for months, (in the comics) over which one is the TRUE Superman.......until at long last........the one and only REAL *dead* Superman, actually comes back to life and settles the matter.



That's why REAL fans of the *Movie* knew damn well he's not REALLY dead........and he will be back.



There was a "blink and you missed it" teaser right at the end, before the credits rolled.



(The dirt on his coffin started to levitate. ) it was like a split second.



Literally, blink, and you miss it.

Answer 15

Black men are already supermen i.e sports, entertainment, education, strength, brain power etc etc.

Answer 16

Sure. Are police his kryptonite?

Answer 17

Unless they make it interesting like Gods and Monsters did, I wouldn't care for it. I know some black Superman incarnations exist, but when I hear Superman I think Kal-El/Clark Kent.

Answer 18

There is already a black Superman; he is the Superman of Earth-23. He was heavily featured in two major DC stories: Final Crisis and Multiversity.

There is also a similarly powered black hero named Blue Marvel, from Marvel Comics

Answer 19

Meh. Black samurais are better. Heard of Afro Samurai? That **** is badasś!

Answer 20

couldn't care less

Answer 21

Superman sucks anyway. You just want a reason to b!tch about blacks again.

Answer 22

Liberals know a black superhero would not be popular so they feel the need to change already established superheroes into black characters
