Hey, I'm new at this Respect thread thing and decided to make this thread after seeing Darwin's feats during the 'Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire' arc. For those of you who don't know or care, Darwin (Armando Muņoz) has the ability of reactive evolution. For example, if he plunges 2,000 feet into the sea, his body would almost instantly adapt to the immense pressure and so on. Here's the first scan from his bio:
Well, there have been no set limits on his powers so there's really no way of knowing right now. I hope not. I'd like him kept at a reasonable level of power. But, his body has transformed itself into energy before so it might be possible.
I agree with you Alfiem, there needs to be more (and better) black characters. I'm glad to see both Marvel and DC taking strides to introduce diversity. Darwin is pretty cool (he is african american and hispanic too)
Not ethnic superheros - I'm not actually white, myself.
But the African/Hispanic American thing. It seems kinda like they made him a mix of two minorities ONLY for the sake of making him a mix of two minorities....
Professor X and Beast who rank among the most intelligent individuals in the MU are baffled by the fact that Darwin is regrowing a body from pure energy. At this point, the Professor suggests that there is no way to determine what Darwin could NOT survive.
Besides there are already tons of great Black Superheroes...
Black Panther
Storm
Patriot
Luke Cage
Falcon
Goliath (does he still count )
Blade
Cloak
Brother Voodoo
Cyborg
Green Lantern (John)
Misty Knight
Photon
Nighthawk
Black Lightning
There are others like War Machine and Bishop but I said GOOD superheros, not crappy characters
