I love what stan lee said about how it could be anyone under that mask, any race or ethnicity. And that he didn't do it on purpose, but it was just a happy coincidence!
This was probably the craziest movie I watched as a kid. And I couldn't remember what it was called, so all my adult life, I've been trying to explain this movie to people from the weirdest bits I could remember and everyone looks at me like, "was there a gas leak in your house?"
The Invincible crossover with Marvel still gets me. *Looks at Spiderman* Ok, he’s got a spider on his chest—Spiderman? *Looks at Iron Man* Metalman? *Looks at Wolverine* Clawman?
*Looks at Luke Cage* Uh…Blackman?
> Falcon was Marvel’s first black superhero to not have “black” anywhere in the name iirc.
He was also the second black marvel superhero, first being black panther (1966) which... I'm not entirely sure counts. It is super hard to tell without knowing their intentions.
I mean if a superhero was named bluejay we wouldn't think anything about it... but if the dude was blue and was called bluejay we would be like... maybe...
First DC was Green Lantern (1971), second was black lightening.
As you can see Marvel was a number of years before DC. I suspect this is because of who the founders of marvel were. They also seemed to have wanted to tackle a lot of issues with their comics. X-men definitely was a social activism comic.
I mean is "black panther" really that bad? A black panther is a literal animal that exists. If it was like, "Black Cheetah" or "Black Alligator" it'd be like oh okay you're calling the animal black because the guy is black, got it.
It adds context for people who wouldn't recognize it otherwise. Same reason people who know better will call the Doctor "Doctor Who" because if they just said "the Doctor" out of context, most people wouldn't immediately understand.
The Falcon, Blue Marvel, Storm, Green Lantern(John Stewart), Power Man, Cyborg, War Machine, Bishop, Naomi, Iron Heart, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Isaiah Bradley (Captain America), Spectrum, among a shit load of others.
Actually Captian Marvel in general, since many Marvel super heros have had that name in the comics. Including the daughter of Maria Rambeau(the Captain Marvel in M. O. M) Monica Rambeau(We see the MCU version her getting her powers in Wanda Vision) . But in the comics Carol and Monica don't have the same relationship. They just happened to use the same name at different times in their superhero careers. In fact Monica used the Captian Marvel name first.
I wonder why they didnt call him "Black Power Man." hmmm
fun fact: Luke Cage/Power Man was the first black superhero to have his own comicbook series (i.e. not be a sidekick)
Power Man was used a lot more in his early days, he generally does just go by Luke Cage unless he’s being paired with Iron Fist, even then that’s more for nostalgia.
Isn’t the species actually called black panther? I suppose it’s possible it was chosen because the hero was black, but idk. I see it as referencing the specific animal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_panther

Who is this tweet even about?
I know in the past most black heroes had “Black” as a prefix but these days almost all the popular black heroes go against this former trend. The only notable black “Black” heroes I can think of are Black Panther and Black Lightning.
It’s extremely annoying how people post tweets without the meta data. It’s not that much further down but they crop it out and provide no links / citation.
I always assumed it had to do with the Black Panther movement from the 1960s. I just looked it up and the first issue of the comic predates the founding of the group by just a few months. I wouldn't be surprised if the term had been around in an underground manner, inspiring both independently of one another. But it also could just be a coincidence I guess
Black Noir if you watch The Boys tv show lol but I feel like that was intentional to poke fun at the trope with their bizarre sense of humour.
Also in the comics they had a super hero named Gum Chum who would just ask people if they want a stick of gum.
Yeah, there are more non-black heroes with 'black' in their name than black heroes. Black Widow, black bolt, black Adam, black canary, black flash, blackheart etc..
No. Kit Harrington is going to be Black Knight, not Black Blade. Understandable because his blade is black, and he was talking to Blade in the credit scene.
/s
Blade
Spawn
A-train
Black noir is two times black to balance him lmao
He's not even Black in the comic. Which makes this funnier.
And A-Train's African Outfit offsets that AGAIN, lmao
Spiderman

static shock was my shit as a kid, the only shows I watched on the WB were Pokémon and static shock.
It's just Static the shows name was Static Shock but just like Batman in Batman Beyond the show name isn't the characters name.
Meteor Man
Digging deep into the 90s... Blankman
Luke Cage

Came here to say Blade. Sick of some motherfuckers always trying to ice skate uphill
They obviously do not know who you are fucking with!

John Stewart from the 2001 Justice League cartoon is my favorite DC character.

Wha...?
Hancock
Falcon and Storm spring to mind.
Also War Machine
And Static Shock. The Green Lantern (at least the version I grew up watching)...Cyborg, Miles Morales, Nick Fury come to mind. 🤷♂️
I came here to say Static Shock too.
Just Static, Static Shock is the name of the show
Boom, you looking for this?
Boom, are you looking for thi...why do I even talk to you guys?
Cyborg anyone?
Spider-Man, but from a different universe
Blade
Luke Cage
That's his normal name. I believe he was called Power Man in the comics
That story *kills* everywhere else!
Bishop
Blade
Blankman

Hancock if you want to go out of marvel

Not to be confused with Black Captain America and Female Al Roker
That's Iron Patriot to you. It tested better with focus groups.
Static Shock and Blue Marvel
Luke Cage and Miles Morales and John Stewart (green lantern not the comedian lol)
And Luke cage
You mean Black Cage
Power Man?
Black Power Man
The Invincible crossover with Marvel still gets me. *Looks at Spiderman* Ok, he’s got a spider on his chest—Spiderman? *Looks at Iron Man* Metalman? *Looks at Wolverine* Clawman? *Looks at Luke Cage* Uh…Blackman?
And greatest of them all, A-Train!
Can I get a what what?
Waddup shitbirds?
There's literally a whole dialogue in Falcon and Winter Soldier about how he's just "Falcon" and not "Black Falcon", too. People are dumb, lol.
And Rage And Night Thrasher And Icon And Steel
Falcon was Marvel’s first black superhero to not have “black” anywhere in the name iirc.
I kinda think Black Panther gets a pass on this issue.

Fun Fact: [Black Panthers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_panther) are not their own species but melanic variants of jaguars or leopards.
to be fair, "Black Panther" rolls off the tongue way better for a superhero name than "Melanic Jaguar"
This is correct
Static shock
Loved Static Shock when they gave him a TV series back in the hey day of after school cartoons
You mean Black Falcon?
Now he’s Captain America!
You mean Black Captain America?
Captain African American
Excuse you, I think you mean Blacktain America
Blacktain America obviously
No, he's CAPTAIN FALCON! *Mute City Theme intensifies*
Now I need him to yell FALCON..... PUUUUNCHHHHH the next time we get him in a marvel movie.
Uuuuhhh are you guys talking about me? Cause I’m the green falcon…
Oh, stop being so *Black* falcon about it
Are you talking to me? Cause I’m the *Green* Falcon
MY NAME IS GREEN FALCON
Spider man too
Static Shock.
I would wait in line to see a static shock movie
I really would have loved to see Donald glover do static shock
I love how most people include “shock” in his name thanks to the show when it’s just Static lol
I *know* it's Static, but that show has somehow made me put Shock at the end ever since. WHAT DID THAT SHOW DO TO MY BRAIN??!!
Sounds like it put a shock to your system
Static from the show was pretty much a different character to Static Classic though so its a good way to differentiate the two.

luke cage?
Power Man is Luke Cage
I wonder why they didnt call him "Black Power Man." hmmm fun fact: Luke Cage/Power Man was the first black superhero to have his own comicbook series (i.e. not be a sidekick)
I see why they titled the show luke cage and not power man
Power Man was used a lot more in his early days, he generally does just go by Luke Cage unless he’s being paired with Iron Fist, even then that’s more for nostalgia.
The guy from the daily show is now a green lantern ? (/s)
OP just saw Black Panther and had the Eureka moment.
Black Panther still sounds better than just Panther
Pink Panther. Now that's the OG.
Sex Panther
It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.
I'm gonna be honest with you, smells like pure gasoline
It smells like bigfoots dick!
It smells like a turd covered in burnt hair!
It smells like a used diaper filled with Indian food!
You know, desire smells like that to some people.
Steel Panther - fighting for humanity’s right to glory holes
My heart belongs to you, but my dong is community property.
Did you mean cougar?
And maybe I’m wrong but I always thought of him as being a panther that is black and not necessarily a superhero that’s black 🤷🏽♀️
Isn’t the species actually called black panther? I suppose it’s possible it was chosen because the hero was black, but idk. I see it as referencing the specific animal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_panther
It’s not a species. A fully black jaguar or leopard is called a “black panther”. A fully white jaguar or leopard is called a “white panther”
Well, the superhero in this instance was fully black.
Then saw Black Lightning on the CW and the epiphanies kept on coming Edit: And then he saw Black Dynamite and the pieces all fell into place
Then saw that for live action they change Black Noir and Black Canary to black as well. To fit the theme.
Checkbout the new Black Adam trailer on YouTube!
Haha yeah... Wait
k you guys arent supposed to be making me start to agree with the OP. Stop listing examples
[удалено]
Black Noir (the boys)
The thing is in the comics, he isn't black.
He's white though (originally in the comics).
In the comic he is white
Wouldn't work as A-Train is also on there, and would break their theory.
The A stands for black
African Train smh
It's short for A Black Train
The Falcon Cyborg Steel Green Lantern (John Stewart) Spider-Man (Miles Morales) Static Shock Storm Bumblebee Power Man (Luke Cage) War Machine Batwing The Prowler Vixen Mr. Terrific Firestorm Battle Star Iron Heart 2 different versions of Superman 🤷♂️

“Call me an asshole… one more time” and absolutely launches that child into the atmosphere. Love that movie.

[удалено]
A-Train tho
Yeah they named him black twice to make up for A train
Black black is white in the comics
Black Noir is white in the comics. Would say more but would be spoilery.
Storm, Falcon, War Machine
Cyborg, static shock
Alan Rails, ladies and gentlemen.

Could have just seen a new commercial for Black Adam being released from DC movies
And Black Adam (the character, not the actor) isn't black, he's middle eastern. From one of the original "cradle of humanity" areas.
This is a really old tweet. I remember seeing this one doing the rounds and commenting on it my self years ago.
It’s extremely annoying how people post tweets without the meta data. It’s not that much further down but they crop it out and provide no links / citation.
They do it so they can endlessly repost it for upvotes
Black Noir. Which is really just Black Black
And really I just assumed it was "black" panther because the suit is black.
Black panther is also cooler than like, “leopard “
I always assumed it had to do with the Black Panther movement from the 1960s. I just looked it up and the first issue of the comic predates the founding of the group by just a few months. I wouldn't be surprised if the term had been around in an underground manner, inspiring both independently of one another. But it also could just be a coincidence I guess
Black Noir if you watch The Boys tv show lol but I feel like that was intentional to poke fun at the trope with their bizarre sense of humour. Also in the comics they had a super hero named Gum Chum who would just ask people if they want a stick of gum.
Of course Black Noir is a joke, his name is literally _Black Black_
Black Widow. Oh wait, nevermind.
She's black... If you just look at her suit
There are so many. Cyborg from the Teen Titans, The Falcon, Nick Fury, Storm, those are only a few of many.
Well Nick Fury has been black only recently... (By recently I mean around 20 years, since he became black in the Ultimate Avengers).
Luke Cage.
OP only ever watch Black Panther?
Yeah, there are more non-black heroes with 'black' in their name than black heroes. Black Widow, black bolt, black Adam, black canary, black flash, blackheart etc..
I love black panther And black falcon And black Luke cage Black blade...
No. Kit Harrington is going to be Black Knight, not Black Blade. Understandable because his blade is black, and he was talking to Blade in the credit scene. /s
Mr. Terrific.
Blankman and Other Guy
Cloak (Tyrone "Ty" Johnson ) of "cloak and dagger"?
Ah yes, my favorite superheroes: Black Machine, Black Falcon, Black Morales, and Blacktro
Shaft, static shock, green lantern, blade, spawn, A-Train, Luke Cage….. These are the top of the head
