Milestone Writers Explain Why Black Superheroes Are Vital To Pop Culture😳😳:
“I think for the importance of Black superheroes… for me growing up, there were no Black superheroes. It was Luke Cage, Power Man. He wasn’t even Power Man. He was Luke Cage, hero for hire. You had to pay him to help you. And you had Black Panther and you had Mal from the Teen Titans who didn’t even get a superhero name. And that was it. It was always in my mind that I wanted to see more, but it wasn’t until I got older and cultural events started happening, and Spike Lee, and all these things started happening. I looked around, ‘Okay, there’s Black product here.’”
