Elisa was black?

Half black.

 

[Floridian]

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

Hot Garbage

 

[Data West]

Reed Richards the ultimate winner. All these kings and intergalactic beings after his wife, and he's just like, 'eh, she's alright'

 

[Htown]

maybe this is the real reason T'Challa and Namor don't get along

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

This is pretty bad though. No Aqualad, John Stewart and Black Panther listed under worst.

 

[Banglish]

Where the fuck is Omar? And Stringer in the worst..? Dude..

 

[Data West]

Axel Foley is my favorite 80s hero.

Now if only he could fight my favorite 90s villain, Vince McMahon.

 

[Bold One]

Shite list m8

JLU Green Lantern, no personality?

WTF?!

 

[goku1693]

Yeah list is kinda off, but I love that Wesley Snipes gets two mentions haha. And your trippin if you think Falcon is terrible. Falcon is finally of the first black superheroes to NOT be named Black *Insert Name here.* What about Heimdall?????

 

[Htown]

JLU Green Lantern, no personality?

WTF?!

Not mean enough, not a sociopath, therefore garbage as a hero

 

[collige]

It's a fucking joke to describe Stringer as a villain, much less a bad one. It's like they missed the entire fucking point of the show.

 

[LaNaranja]

No mention of Rhodey or Pootie Tang?

 

[wildfire]

I always thought she was Southeast Asian.

How? We had multiple episodes dedicated to her siblings and parents. (For those who don't know she's also half Native American.)

Seriously. How?

They aint wrong about John Stewart

So why don't you think he has a personality?

 

[junglist]

 

[Forceatowulf]

Ok, I'm not even going o comment on OP's list of fuckery. Great idea for a thread regardless.

My list of heroes is going to be a bit questionable though, seeing as some of these cats have had their bad days...

Heroes:

Blade
Django
Sheriff Bart
Black Dynamite
OG Bobby Johnson
Spawn
Fresh
Fool
Omar
John W. Creasy
Mike Lawrey
Marcus Bernett
Lee Everett
Commander Shepherd (Black female 'shep representin')
Undercover Brother
Nigga Turtles

Villains:

Lex Luthor
Stringer Bell
Avon
Snoop
Marlo
Brother Mouzone
Candy man
O-Dog
Dt. Alonzo Harris
Steven
Mr. Glass

Not even gonna bother with a best of the worst list. meh

 

[Trojita]

OP's list is wack.

Didn't realize Elisa was half black.

Aqua-Lad from Young Justice is GOAT

 

[phaonaut]

Ruby Rhod and Stringer Bell are great.

Also Lil Ze always reminds me of Dave Chapelle.

 

[Slayven]

Not black, he is Aborigine.

 

[Odoul]

No mention of Rhodey or Pootie Tang?

Pootie Tang is a great one.

Not a huge comic reader. All I have to go on is the movies and shows, but Rhodey was TERRIBLE in IM2. IM3 kind of pissed me off as a whole.

I guess I just don't like boring heroes.

They have to have a flaw or lose more than they win or go through hell.

Or be an antihero.

I find them kind of boring otherwise.

The Wire always dealt in grays, which is what made it so damn good. But come on.. Stringer Bell was a piece of shit at the end of the day. Period.

Still one of the all time great characters though. <3

 

[entremet]

How? We had multiple episodes dedicated to her siblings and parents. (For those who don't know she's also half Native American.)

So why don't you think he has a personality?

I didn't see every episode. I just caught it when it was on. Remember this was pre-Netflix and widespread DVRs.

eerrr, what?!

 

[Indrid Cold1]

My favourite hero is John Creasy.

Villain would be Antwon Mitchell. Dude was damn intimidating. Can't believe he was the fat kid from the transformers. "This is the little hoe, that gave up my block".

 

[Camp Lo]

WORST:

Stringer Bell

Shit list.

 

[Forceatowulf]

eerrr, what?!

GOAT Lex <3

Spoiler

I still fucks with Rosenbaum on the low doe

 

[Vermillion]

Dammit, can someone get me the next page in this?

 

[Valhelm]

I don't get why you don't like Stringer. He's one of the most complex characters in the Wire, and definitely the best villain.

Marlo and Snoop are great, but they don't compare to Stringer IMO.

 

[karasu]

OMG what a post

 

[Ivan 3414]

GOAT Lex <3

Spoiler

I still fucks with Rosenbaum on the low doe

The creators say he's not black

Spoiler

He might as well be, it doesn't really matter

 

[xKilltheMx]

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.

Agreed. Worst list ever.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Dude has the best motivation of them all.

The fearsome Black Manta and Aquaman battled repeatedly over the next several years. During one of these clashes, it was revealed that Black Manta was actually black, whose stated objective at one point was for black people to be dominant in the ocean after having been oppressed for so long on dry land.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Spoiler

What is this.. the race version of "She's not a little girl but a 1000 year old dragon!"??

I don't even give a fuck. Lex is Black. Dropping the mic on that one.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

These panels have always bugged me due to how weirdly angular his facial features are.

 

[fallengorn]

GOAT Lex <3

Spoiler

I still fucks with Rosenbaum on the low doe

I can see it (in a Shel Silverstein kinda way) but it's such an obvious reference to Telly Savalas.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Dude has the best motivation of them all.

Respect for black manta.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Poor String

 

[junglist]

Not black, he is Aborigine.

I don't know.. his origins are a mystery. I also read that he is Filipino. The more I read into it...the more confusing it gets.

I originally though that Storm and black panther were his grandparents... and Gateway is his great grandfather...

it was listed however in marvel as African at one point...

Marvel doesn't prove nor deny anything about his heritage

 

[KidB]

Stringer Bell does not belong there, he's one of the best characters in The Wire.

 

[Frog-fu]

Haha, this gif is good. Underrated movie.

 

[Plywood]

That list is poop from a butt.

 

[udiie]

falcon and stringer bell are both awesome.

 

[Plywood]

BEST

Best leader.

 

[zma1013]

Response to some of the choices in this list and simultaneously my nomination for villain:

Alonzo Harris, Training Day

 

[G-Fex]

JL Jon Stewart fucking sucks

 

[Slayven]

That bloodline makes no sense.

 

[MartyStu]

This list reads like someone performed a google search for 'Black Heroes and Villains.'

Terrible.

Static?
Storm?

 

[Odoul]

Stringer Bell does not belong there, he's one of the best characters in The Wire.

He's well written and well acted.

Just his personality...

Fake.

Has a library of "classics" that have never been opened.

College educated but tries to flex on hoodrats.

Swims with the sharks and gets humiliated.

Not nearly the chessmaster he imagines himself to be.

Just rubs me the wrong way.

Spoiler

Maybe a little teeny tiny part of him reminds me too much of what I fear I am.

Just the little crumbs we got of Avon's* past/family and hints of how his life could have turned out differently was more interesting than Stringer. To me at least.

*And I could have put him or Ace or Mitch or Rico on the list, but I didn't want to list everyone. Let some other people give their opinions.

Yeah Bishop is a black dude with an epic shag to me. Anything else is just too contrived. His image says everything.

 

[zeemumu]

You put Green Lantern for no personality but Blade gets a free pass? if you were dull and had no personality you'd make a shitty green lantern since your ring runs off of your willpower and imagination.

And what, Storm, Static, Miles, and Cyborg mean nothing?

Also, I've never heard of Doro, but if he's a bodyless and formless demon, how do you know he's black?

 

[Slayven]

The Blade Movies did a did a disservice to the character.. Lucky Marvel have been stunting with him in comics
