You know what’s a bummer? That The Avengers didn’t include a black superhero (Nick Fury has no superpower except his commanding presence). Because the most badass Avenger of them all, and probably Marvel Comic’s greatest character, is the Black Panther, the only superhero named after a militant political movement. Why is he so awesome? Besides the fact that he’s the king of an African nation so technologically advanced that everyone in the world has a “hands off” policy because they’re scared of its super-lasers? For a lot of reasons.
Because he goes grocery shopping in his costume!
Because his skis are made of leopard!
Because his friends are called “The Black Musketeers!”
Because he can dance like Michael Jackson in “Thriller!”
Because he fights racists.
Because his crotch is a deadly weapon…
…and he’s not afraid to use it!
Because he takes girls giant sea turtle surfing…
…and then they make love!
Because one of his enemies is called The White Avenger!
Because his bad guys have great design sense!
But Marvel comics used to be more committed to diversity. They used to publish Marvel All-Colour!
Today, they are like Marvel no color.
