But... Superman’s powers are based on absorbing energy from the sun right? And melanin blocks UV from the sun...

So wouldn’t Superman get weaker the blacker he is? Thus he could get more vulnerable, and therefore, more interesting, simply by virtue of being black.

Of course the writers would never go in that direction!

In your list there, there’s already a white superhero turned black. Nick Fury was originally a whte guy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Fury

Just more pandering and virtue signaling from the Hollyweird crowd. Not to mention the total lack of creativity demonstrated by stealing another fictional character. WHy can’t they create a black Superman complete with a black Kkrypton race or somethng similar. Good God ! it ought to be a snap to write the backstory ! It’s fiction, it’s not even that challenging, it’s comic fiction and they’re not creative enough to even do that !

>>Will he have grown up with no father figure, like way too many black men do?

Jor El?

He'll be raised by 2 white grandparents just like Baraq.

Honestly though if the makers of this crap want to truly eliminate all whiteness from Superman wouldn’t they really need to change his name? Is there any name more white than Clark Kent??? I suggest maybe Clarquavious Kente. Sounds pretty good huh? Supermanizzle my bizzle!

I haven’t read comic since I was 12. So I haven’t kept up with the “times”.

While I was still working one of the young engineers had a “comic”. I was shocked to see it had turned into something with a slick magazine style physical format & presentation. Also it was easly as expensive as a paperback book.

I have a nephew who is into the whole DC/Marvel universe. I used to take him to the movies. That's the sum total of my knowledge.

Instead of ruining good classics, why not create a new one…

Bingo! I have been complaining about this for a while. If a white person had taken a long-standing black person's role we would be having non-stop articles about "cultural appropriation". When it's the other way around, we get articles about how brave and wonderful this is.

If you want to have a super hero who is black, write your own damn story. Don't draft on a story or character that has, since inception, been white. Well, actually an alien.

I thought Black Panther was an okay movie, just okay; but, it didn't deserve all of the accolades that it got. However, I liked that they made a story of their own. (In my defense on Black Panther only being an okay movie, the Rotten Tomatoes score seems to also think this as there is a 20 point difference between what the critics thought (Oprah: It's not a movie, its a revelation.) and what the audience thought about it.)

“Perceptions” aren’t the problem - black behavior is the problem.

Thank you for being brave enough to state the truth.

I think all of this says one thing that I’ve noticed is IMMUTABLE: Black people are addicted to television.

And Lex Luthor is a bad cop who hates minorities and gay people. And during his off time he’s the leader of the local KKK.

In the 1960s the Bond like guy Nick Fury Agent of Shield was also white (and had the same eye patch the WWII guy did).

Anything “same name” about it is retrocontinuity
