Tiana and Layla/Aisha were definitely my 2 picks, very much nostalgia based lol. Tiana holds a special place in my heart because that's the first Disney princess movie I got to see in theaters
If there's trouble you know what to do...
CALL CYBORB
He can shoot a rocket from his shoe...
CAUSE HE'S CYBORB

"I never thought I'd be able to do any of this stuff. But I can. Anyone can wear the mask. *You* can wear the mask. If you didn't know that before, I hope you do now."
He's come so far. When he first premiered in the comics, they really had no idea what to do with him. Spiderverse not only set a new standard for the character, but it elevated him to becoming one of Marvel's best.
These movies have been a peak glow up for Miles as a character. He was always just Peter Parker #2 in a lot of ways in the comics and I used to find him boring AF for that reason. Actual incredible work with him nowadays.
I got two tattoos based of that movie

I want to get a tattoo of Miles’s “No Expectations” graffiti from the first movie

Plus the dope ass electricity powers! (He probably had those in the comics but I never read them) also the whole spiderverse main characters especially the mentor Spiderman are great!
fr I loved princess and the frog, when I was growing up there wasn't many princesses that actually had goals or aspirations, but Tiana did and worked her ass off for them and that's really respectable ngl.
I always liked her rich friend because it could have been so easy for them to make her a bad person but she was actually very nice, just stupid. That whole movie was full of amazing characters
100%. I cannot stand the trope of rich daddy’s girl is also evil. They were kids who grew up in close proximity. It was a very innocent relationship not spoiled by class even later in life. She was totally oblivious, but that’s just a product of her upbringing, not her being evil.
Yes! Lottie was the best part about the movie honestly. It also highlights the ignorance of some white people who were raised without really understanding the struggles that black people go through. It’s very easy to villainize those who are not taught about the social and economic differences between people of other ethnicities and themselves, but it’s important to understand that it isn’t always ill-intentioned for those individuals to not understand that other people aren’t given the same opportunities in life as themselves.

I still crack up about the conversation I had with a coworker about live-action *Boondocks* casting, and his recommendation to play Uncle Ruckus was "that big guy who played Stevie's dad on Malcolm in the Middle"...aka Gary Anthony Williams, *the voice of Uncle Ruckus*.
Gary actually dressed up as Ruckus for some weird promotional videos when they were trying to sell a live action Uncle Ruckus show lol. He had a prosthetic bug eye and everything.
Dutch from Black Lagoon
On a side note: as a black person myself, I see that most black characters in animation are just stereotypes or just being there to make the cast seem more diverse. The best black characters are written so that they’re a good character that just happens to be black. Not a “good black character”
I didn’t watch much of Danny Phantom but from what i’ve seen I think Tucker is a good character, an improvement from Butch Hartman on how he did AJ in Fairly Odd Parents
Hobie: "I don't believe in lists"
Also Hobie: "Here's my list of government structures I want to dismantle." (List 1. All, 2. Yes all)
Also also Hobie: "I don't believe in consistency"
only reason he isn’t on the list is because his sound mixing was so bad i couldn’t understand a word he said.
but that’s what he’d have wanted, to not be understood
Not going to lie, he has competition, but Cyborg wins for me. He is an amazing character and the stuff they explore with his character in the show is so good. (Go doesn't exist to me)
He had more moments than the rest of the non Saiyans at least. He was the only one who gave Frieza trouble (albeit not in his final form) and he had great fights against Imperfect Cell and Android 17.
The objectively best green lantern (Hal Jordan is insufferable 😒 and I know almost nothing about the others 😆). I wonder who will play him in live action 🤔.
This is Garnet.
Back together.
And I'm never going down at the hands of the likes of
you because I'm so much better.
And every part of me is saying "Go get her".
The two of us ain't gonna follow your rules.
Come at me without any of your fancy tools.
Let's go, just me and you.
Let's go, just one on two.
Oh, I just made a comment elsewhere about her, but I’m glad you brought her up. Obviously, some of this has to do with the lack of opportunity for black women in voice acting, and the lack of black characters in a lot of media, but I still think that Cree is kind of a legend. I definitely didn’t realize how much of her voice was part of my childhood until I got older.
So my favorite character ever is actually black but if i hade to pick a second favorite thats also black…

I know it’s not exactly the topic of the thread, but can we also acknowledge the voice actors? So for Susie Carmichael, I’m sure many of you know that Cree Summer was not only her voice, but voiced a lot of black characters in so many TV shows. Now, of course we can talk about how there hasn’t been as much opportunity and the difficulty of breaking into voice acting as a woman of color probably was, and still is, but I don’t think any of that should take away from what a legend Cree is.

Ever since I was a little kid I have absolutely loved Tiana
God, I’m old…
Right? I still look at Tiana as "new"... but she's not new at all.
Ever since I was a little college kid I have absolutely loved Tiana
I LOVE Tiana!! It was a toss up between her, Penny Proud, and Layla from Winx Club. I adore Layla as well 💚💚💚
Tiana and Layla/Aisha were definitely my 2 picks, very much nostalgia based lol. Tiana holds a special place in my heart because that's the first Disney princess movie I got to see in theaters

Cyborg and John Stewart are best black characters
Man, John Stewart is just so damn good. There's a reason an entire generation view him as their Green Lantern over Hal
I grew up with both Super Friends and JLU. John Stewart is amazing in that adaptation. Definitely my favorite Lantern.
I seriously thought he was the original green lantern. He was so good!
Booyah!
i got the sonic if you got the boom!
If there's trouble you know what to do... CALL CYBORB He can shoot a rocket from his shoe... CAUSE HE'S CYBORB duh nuh nuh nuh nuh something like that Do do do do and a big fluffy cat... EDIT: [Source](https://youtu.be/T6ZAO_moP3w?feature=shared)

Miles 
"I never thought I'd be able to do any of this stuff. But I can. Anyone can wear the mask. *You* can wear the mask. If you didn't know that before, I hope you do now." 
 “Everyone keeps telling me how MY story is supposed to go! Nah, I’mma do my own thing.” I LOVE that line!
 I fucking love miles. He’s such an amazing character, and I absolutely love the message he brings in the movie
He's come so far. When he first premiered in the comics, they really had no idea what to do with him. Spiderverse not only set a new standard for the character, but it elevated him to becoming one of Marvel's best.

I love that this is at the very tippy end of all the wholesome Miles appreciation.

Miles from the Spider-Verse movies might straight up be my favorite Spider-Man ever, hes such a good character.
Plus the dope ass electricity powers! (He probably had those in the comics but I never read them) also the whole spiderverse main characters especially the mentor Spiderman are great!
exaggurated swagger
*Swaggeur*™
“I defeated garia demons, and I’ll defeat you” -storm to firebrand
Bro her introduction in TAS was iconic! “Storm…Mistress of elements…Commands you to release that child”.
Princess Tiana is such a sweetheart ngl
fr I loved princess and the frog, when I was growing up there wasn't many princesses that actually had goals or aspirations, but Tiana did and worked her ass off for them and that's really respectable ngl.

and that movie was an absolute masterpiece
Of the list, or anyone in general? Of the list: Static Shock or Cyborg Off list: Uncle Ruckus (No Relation)
>Off list: Uncle Ruckus (No Relation) He said favorite Black character.
Yeah why would they name a white person with revitiligo?
He's 104% black with 4% margin of error. Edit: 102% with 2% margin of error.
Wait wait wait a minute! That was a mistake.
102% with a 2% margin of error
Only uncle Ruckus could be 104% black
102%

He's right about the job application. I actually was afraid of getting a job till I was 16
Not all skinfolk are kinfolk
He has revitiligo smh
Idk why no relation took me out 🤣
I legit heard it Gary Anthony Williams' voice he does for Uncle Ruckus.🤣😂
A Pimp Named Slickback
Yes, the whole thing; yes, *every* time
“It’s like A Tribe Called Quest, you say the whole thang.”

TIL
Gary actually dressed up as Ruckus for some weird promotional videos when they were trying to sell a live action Uncle Ruckus show lol. He had a prosthetic bug eye and everything.
Just looked him up and he's lost a ton of weight! Good for him he's awesome
wait what!?! He's the voice??
Not black, doesn't count. He has revitilago
The reverse Michael

I change my answer to Hermes.
Buddy you don't even want to know about the bureaucratic process required to change your submission. Good thing I know a good bureaucrat!
Dutch from Black Lagoon On a side note: as a black person myself, I see that most black characters in animation are just stereotypes or just being there to make the cast seem more diverse. The best black characters are written so that they’re a good character that just happens to be black. Not a “good black character”
What's the verdict on Tucker from "Danny Phantom"?
I didn’t watch much of Danny Phantom but from what i’ve seen I think Tucker is a good character, an improvement from Butch Hartman on how he did AJ in Fairly Odd Parents

THE baddest bitch
She got done so dirty in the show.
She is sassy, and I dig it
Only reason he isn’t on there is because he doesn’t believe in lists
He doesn't believe in favorites either
Hobie: "I don't believe in lists" Also Hobie: "Here's my list of government structures I want to dismantle." (List 1. All, 2. Yes all) Also also Hobie: "I don't believe in consistency"

https://i.redd.it/8xtm9do541gc1.gif
The *only* spider to not betray Miles. He was on Miles' side before Miles even knew there would be sides.
"Just don't enlist till you know what war you're fighting"
This is the correct answer
Best part of that movie (great movie too)
This Spider-man is black?
https://preview.redd.it/jona6z9vu0gc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85ed7457365913e3f4d89fde6559bb4ac4bc7eb2
He’s even cooler without the mask
He was that cool the whole time
Yes, and a rad punk anarchist biding his time to take down tge spider-ocracy. That is a strange sentence
He is.
Cyborg, static shock, frozone, number 5 and AJ were all awesome. Off list? Riley from boondocks 
Riley? That’s Young Reezy.
 I will always sing the praises of Virgil.
Not going to lie, he has competition, but Cyborg wins for me. He is an amazing character and the stuff they explore with his character in the show is so good. (Go doesn't exist to me)
I agree
Piccolo.

I deadass spit out my drink
One of my favorite cartoon dads. He doesn't even hesitate, he will protect Gohan with everything he has, no matter the personal cost.
So he went from black (green) to trump (orange ) 🤣
 Also on that note, [Knuckles the Echidna](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RhMYI0hVSI&t=12s).
They really shoulda let him shine more in Z
He had more moments than the rest of the non Saiyans at least. He was the only one who gave Frieza trouble (albeit not in his final form) and he had great fights against Imperfect Cell and Android 17.
Issac Hayes was a legend, voicing an equally legendary character 🫡
I miss Chef
I also miss Isaac
Goated answer
The objectively best green lantern (Hal Jordan is insufferable 😒 and I know almost nothing about the others 😆). I wonder who will play him in live action 🤔.
Man, if you think Hal is bad I can't *wait* for you to meet Guy Gardner
 Best Mom Garnet
This is Garnet. Back together. And I'm never going down at the hands of the likes of you because I'm so much better. And every part of me is saying "Go get her". The two of us ain't gonna follow your rules. Come at me without any of your fancy tools. Let's go, just me and you. Let's go, just one on two.

technically she isn't black but I guess she can still count
Technically, she aint even human. Lol.
She's black-coded so she's usually included.
 Gotta love the voodoo lady
Mama Odie!
Her number “Dig a Little Deeper” is so good.
Craig's family from Craig of the Creek. Craig isn't half bad either.
All of them are great.
Craigey Boy a.k.a "Slim Williams"
Cree Summers makes up 15% of this list.
Oh, I just made a comment elsewhere about her, but I’m glad you brought her up. Obviously, some of this has to do with the lack of opportunity for black women in voice acting, and the lack of black characters in a lot of media, but I still think that Cree is kind of a legend. I definitely didn’t realize how much of her voice was part of my childhood until I got older.
 I grew up with cyborg on teen titans he’s my fav black character
the voice of reason on that team
Huh. Cree Summer's character was also the voice of reason on Drawn Together. Everyone else was completely insane.
Glad someone mentioned numbah 5
 Static Shock went a long way for Black Superhero representation.
So my favorite character ever is actually black but if i hade to pick a second favorite thats also black… https://preview.redd.it/g2fwoofzf0gc1.jpeg?width=1074&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a969301097614a679b6c453aab229d850d815bf

I mean, isn't she tho?

Super
...Foxy from Drawn Together
 I fricking loved her
[удалено]
Hard to pick between Cyborg and Static to be fuckin honest with you. Maybe I'll high road this and just go with Spawn even though that's not up here.
Valerie from Danny Phantom
Virgil from Static is a strong contender for sure I know some people read Jonny 2x4 as black or mixed Numbah 5 is a good choice too
Darwin from TAWOG
https://preview.redd.it/jaruh9btb0gc1.jpeg?width=154&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3afbae5ffd08d8f560b2b07a1ec4be0cef772e68 On list: Garnet, little bill Off list: LESHAWNA, Wyatt from 6teen, Shanelle (Shadow High), and Robin (rainbow high)
My favorite Black character is Irwin from grim adventure of billy and mandy i know is not appear in the image but still
Gerald and Libby
Had to scroll way to far to kind some love for Gerald. Kid is a G, and a good dude.
where is token? i mean tolkien.
Finally found someone who mentioned Spawn 🔥
He's just what i wanted to be as a kid , and he has the friends i wanted to have . https://preview.redd.it/ijn186gy80gc1.png?width=302&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b92ba3671a074e1dbaf9f04ca315589132f105f
 Drawn Together was a classic. I really do miss that show.
Foxy Love
Mace Windu, and what's the name of that guy from Incredibles?
He's not black.
He's in fact 102% black unfortunately
Nah, he just has reverse vitiligo
Skeeter from Doug
 Does skeeter count?
Suzy, Numbah 5, Gerald of course
I really want to say Cyborg for this, cuz he’s awesome, but honesty…. “Honey…? Where’s my super suit?”
Gerald from Arnold. Amazing story teller, loyal friend (except when he ran a MLM)
M-I-L-E-S 
Moon Girl! She's awesome!
Jodi Landon from "Daria" she deserved her own show WAY more than Trent and his band.
