You're the reason superhero comics can stagnate though. Why should superhero comics keep him on a bike so that he can remain a biker icon for someone who doesn't even read superhero comics when the people that actually DO by the books might be interested in a new story, an addition to the universe, etc.?

Beat me to it. If this isn't canon before I die, my life was a waste of time.

If I were to hazard a guess I'd say the poster that posed the question were more of a DC reader, though, and he or she just wanted to see those character talked about because they like them and they chose this context because it occurred to them to do so. It's cool that you don't care for BP or Cage, each to their…

An excuse for what exactly? You think people are pretending to take issue with diversity in comics because they want to bash a publisher? There are a million other ways to go about doing that, and it isn't as though people entirely ignore Marvel's lack in diversity either. Mark Millar made Nick Fury black and The Wasp…

I'm not sure I understand what "a problem if you really believe it is a problem" is supposed to mean...but yeah, the most popular incarnations of X-Men prominently feature a whole host of female characters (Brian Wood's X-Men is all female, all A-list) and plenty of non-white characters too. Of course DCs efforts are…

Cute.

Kidding? That movie is the mutt's nuts.

I wouldn't consider this a superhero movie. Superpowers are a very small part of what makes the superhero genre. It's just a sci-fi thriller. No one calls The Bionic Man or The Champions superhero TV shows.

North American Batman is a bold choice!

Maybe there's a general Marvel bias because Marvel is the more popular publisher, but maybe Marvel also "gets a pass" because X-Men is their most popular property (or at least was pre-Bendis Avengers and MCU), and X-Men is diverse as hell. DC meanwhile is like four deep with white male legacy characters every which…

Luckily, various aspect ratios are being kept alive.

I can't even make out the line, and I know my star Wars dialogue pretty well, I should be able to just know without hearing. I have brought shame upon my family.

This sounds very awesome. And I only read it because the cover you posted is
BAD
ASS

The names of those characters have no traction with anyone that isn't into comics. It's fanboy blindness. I suffer from it too sometimes, but when you actually write the words "Mr Terrific can simply replace Batman" you're suffering from it badly!

Man, I hate this comments section with a fiery passion. It's worse when it gets crowded, because two columns of hidden discussions is the worst thing in the world to navigate and explore, but here I am, adding my comment like a sucker:

Maybe you haven't read Runaways, maybe you're just forgetting, but Xavin is basically who you're describing. Green alien superhero that switches between black male and black female bodies and is in a relationship with a lesbian girl.

They're not A-Listers, they're also rans, which defeats the point of the exercise.

Yeah, automatically heard "ONE jump - ahead of the breadline! ONE swing - ahead of the sword. I steal - only what I can't afford..." in my head.

Fake it til you make it is pretty great advice.
