You never heard of Brotherman comics? That book has been around since 1990! That book not only changed the way we as Black people saw how a black hero should be portrayed but it took place in an all Black world, so the entire supporting cast represented us to the fullest in a diverse perspective! Then there are Black comic conventions held in both Philly and Chicago full of independent Black artists and writers who are changing the face of the comic industry! It may take people with the resources like you to help advance independents like them but Hancock is not my idea of a positive Black hero! I was not impressed at all to see a drunk, womanizing, self centered, lazy, child-dissing derelict as my hero! If that is enough to satisfy your palette brotha I then don't know what else to say than you need to read some research! Respect! Come on P you lose the sincerity in all that profanity.

I thought color wasn't supposed to mean anything. And since when has "motherfucker" become a compliment? Superman is referred to as just Superman, but Hancock, he's "<i>Motherfucking </i>Hancock". Ugh, I have a sudden urge to go wave a cane at some kids and tell them to stay off my lawn. Did I miss something important about the last hundred years?

There have been Black superheroes featured in films by the way, Storm, Blade ( A Marvel Comic Character) and Spawn. P. Diddy or whatever the hell he wants to be called nowadays is irrelevant.
