Oh come on .... Electrical controlling abilities give him ALOT of potential, and the league has a history of characters illustarting their power potentials. I mean if Metzler really wanted to, they could make him as powerful Superman Blue .
If this was being written by Morrison I would agree with you. I think either Tornado or BL will take J'onn's old spot as official League cannon fodder.

I Agree totally with that comment .... IMO the M.M. has the potential to be a greeat haracter, but he needs be given more of the spotlight.

I have to say John always seemed to be there because he was black.
He should have pulled a Falcon and left the team. Thats why Falcon is awesome. He didnt let himself be used

Im just saying that, if you go back and look at his first apperence, John wouldnt let himself be used because of his race.
Honestly I want to see John act more like that than the boring version we get today

No one to date has beaten Triathlon's rise to fame via affirmative action to date, I believe.

Captain America: Avengers, tactic Human Shield! Falcon! You know what to do!
Falcon: Cap! I'm a man with wings! Why do I have to used as a damn shield with Hercules standing right there!
Captain America: Just do as I say, soldier and maybe I'll let you watch UPN tonight!
Falcon: F*ck this bullsh**! See y'all, crackers later!

Rather than being in the leauge because of his powers or his heroics, just being there because the color of your skin? Sounds like being used to me.

So the fact that Kyle asked him to take his spot because he was needed in space means nothing? Doing a favor for your best friend is being used?

No
However, I still think it was just a stupid move by DC to get a black character into the leauge, rather than having a character in the leauge because they are a good character who happens to be black

This team is Brad's fanboy team come true. I doubt it has anything to do with anybody's skin color. For example, he picked Vixen because Ed Benes draws her well.

I never said that Vixen or BL are on the team because they are black
I think its because BL has evolved into such a great character over the years and because of Vixen has the potential to be a great character ( as well as other things )

Then why the hell did you bring up character ethnicity in the first place?

Because I think that John was in the leauge because DC though that they needed a black character in the leauge
Oh course it dosent mean John isnt a good character (when well written, Ex: GL: Rebirth)

Or because of the JLU tie in. Whichever makes more sense and isn't a conspiracy theory, right? lolz

Eh
Point taken.
However he was still a hell of a better character in JLU than he was in the comic

They were both my least favorite part of each. All the Hawkgirl/John focused episodes were boring.

I personally enjoyed JLU Hawkgirl more than JLU Wonder Woman who they made a stuck-up b*tch...
JLU WW was also weak-ass....
