BEST

HEROES:

Blade

Borderline sociopath. Love how antisocial and awkward he is in the first movie.

Elisa Maza

Realistic but fun. Twist on the April O'Neil character.

Black Dynamite

Unapologetically mean. And delights in the chaos he causes.

VILLAINS:

Simon Phoenix

Complete Joker ripoff. Fun as hell.

Baxter Stockman (2003 version)

No matter how fucked up he gets he just stays so arrogant and full of himself. Keeps shitting on Shredder to his face.

Doro

A 4 thousand y/o bodyless formless "presence". A reoccuring enemy in Octavia Butlers novels. He lethally possesses people. Like the demon in the movie Fallen. Really chilling in his portrayal of how he just uses people and throws them away. To cross a river he just posesses someone on the other side. That they're killed in the process means nothing.

Antwon Mitchell

Most of the criminals in the show get outsmarted pretty easily. Nice to see one that can go toe-to-toe with the Strike Team.

Marlo Stanfield/Snoop

Just easy to hate.

Lil Ze

Scariest gangster put to screen.

WORST

HEROES:

John Stewart (DCAU)

Just has too little personality.

Black Panther (various cartoon versions)

Stoic and arrogant isn't very entertaining.

Ruby Rhod

This could be all loud, effeminate, black, punching bag sidekicks but he's the first that comes to mind.

Falcon

Literally drops his life to help Cap and again no personality.

VILLAINS:

Stringer Bell

Fake. Phony. Snitch. Pretend intellectual. All those fucking books in your house you didn't even read.

Manta (various cartoons)

No great motivation. No quirk. No personality.

If you got some, whether they're inspirational, shameful, stereotypes or they just rub you the wrong way, from any medium, post em!

 

[Frog-fu]

I'm sorry, but what a shitty list that is. How you gonna diss Black Panther like that? Jon Stewart? Stringer Bell? Nah, man. Nah.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Elisa was black?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Black Panther (various cartoon versions)

Stoic and arrogant isn't very entertaining.


Falcon

Literally drops his life to help Cap and again no personality.

[number47]

Its stupid to judge comic book characters jusr from their screen appearance.

Black Manta is more than just one aquaman movie.

[Mudcrab]

Stringer Bell? Black Panther? Manta? These are the worst? C'mon man.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Antwon Mitchell was pretty awesome.

 

[Data West]

Told yall Black Panther sucks.

I also love how this list breaks down to the real truth: Wesley Snipes is the shit.

I always thought she was Southeast Asian.

Her brother was black, remember?

 

[Vermillion]

Your best heroes choices include the following words/phrases: "sociopath," "antisocial," and "unapologetically mean."

 

[Count Dookkake]

Blacula

 

[entremet]

Where's Avon?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Half black half native american.

I always thought she was Southeast Asian.

huh. granted I probably wasn't paying attention as a kid but I always assumed she was latina.

 

[thequickandthedead]

Stringer Bell wtf?

Clay Davis should be in best black villains instead of marlo/snoop.

 

[Slayven]

So much wrong in taht list it hurts my soul

Elisa was black?

She mixed

Its stupid to judge comic book characters jusr from their screen appearance.

Black Manta is more than just one aquaman movie.

BM served the hottest of ether.

 

[Moaradin]

Dissing Black Panther and Green Lantern?

 

[studyguy]

Elisa was black?

Elisa had originally been designed as an Hispanic woman with the surname of Chavez. When Salli Richardson was cast as Elisa's voice actor, the character's race and ethnicity was adapted to match hers. Elisa became half-African American and half-Native American, which suited the show's allegory of human intolerance for gargoyles representing racial prejudice. Her last name was changed to Maza, which the creators believed to be a Sioux word for "iron", and which suited the character's strong will. The name Chavez was later used for Elisa's police captain.

[Toxi]

No mention of Mr. Glass?

Man, Samuel Jackson killed it in that movie.

Spoiler

Though it's kinda a massive spoiler to reveal he's the villain.

 

[Data West]

Need to complete the Snipesfecta

 

[Ovid]

Wait, you wouldn't drop everything to help Captain America?

His pretty much a living legend.

 

[Fantomex]

Blast that website from orbit

 

[lovely ladies]

Denzel's Alonzo Harris deserves a mention.

 

[Jarmel]

 

[Sephzilla]

They aint wrong about John Stewart

 

[Ahasverus]

This is like the WORST list I've ever read in my life.

 

[crimzonflame]

Scariest gangster put to screen.

Yes.

 

[Htown]

It's Groundhog Day, not Opposite Day

 

[Data West]

I'm not sure if this says more about Aquaman than the character itself, but Aqualad felt like how you would write a way cooler Aquaman.

 

[fallengorn]

Worst "Best & Worst Black Heroes & Villains" list.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Stringer Bell as worst villain ? Come on.

 

[Slayven]

It's Groundhog Day, not Opposite Day

Worst "Best & Worst Black Heroes & Villains" list.

It offensive on almost a quantum level.

Black Excellence Month

Elisa was black?

Black mom and Native dad

There are episodes that specifically dig into both sides of her family.

Even touched on sensitive topics like pride/shame in racial identity.
Pretty cool. And just one of the reasons Gargoyles was such a great show.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Chris Tucker is awesome in The Fifth Element. :/

 

[DY_nasty]

Hate on Ruby Rhod brehs

 

[Anoregon]

Ruby Rhod is a fucking gem, that list is garbage.
