One of the things I like about the Blue Marvel is that he seems to be his own character, and not a legacy or the rebound recipient of a previous characters powers.
Spawn was cool, but he was also Zombie-esque and disfigured.
I've never heard of the Black Racer, i'll have to do some research.
The book didn't mention if he had any energy powers or not.
But Mr G has been holding conversations at the Rama, so there is this:

Kevin,the work has been really good. It seems you are able to craft a story that really puts someone in the center of an intense debate.Here are my questions. 1. Will Blue Marvel and Anti-man be used after the mini is concluded? 2. In regards to his powers. Does the Blue Marvel have superspeed? Does he have other powers that go beyond the physical? Like anything energy related or some such? 3. With Barack Obama in office,and in Marvel that is reflected. Will there be a scene where Adam feels wanted and in comfort now that his country has changed it's view point? 4. Can his catch phrase now be "time for a change"

1. You'll have to wait and see. But I certainly hope so.
2. It depends on how you define "super-speed". I will not make a point of it like the Flash or Superman. But he has a measure of it.
3. No. Adam has ALWAYS comfortable with himself. It's others that don't feel comfortable with him.

A great introduction issue, i've really enjoyed it. I just hope he doesnt become TOO strong, TOO invulnerable etc. We recently already got The Sentry and a re-introduction of Marvel Boy and judging from the reactions on sites like newsarama fans are getting kinda tired of all those extremely powerful heroes popping up. People like to see vulnerabilities in their heroes, isnt that the main reason that made the Stan Lee's creations so populair?

As long as I'm writing the character, he won't be so strong that he makes other characters look foolish. He is just in the same league as the Hulk, Thor, Superman, Sentry, Orion, J'onn J'onzz, etc. He's NOT above them.
He does have energy powers as well, but not through a kind of "vision".

Mr. Grevioux this was a very good issue. please keep up the good work. I have a few questions for you in regatds to the Blue Marvel's powers.1. How powerful is the Blue Marvel? I ask this, because like many other fans, I'm not a huge fan of earth bound Superman type of characters in the Marvel Universe. Heck, I'm not even a fan of Superman and the other Superman type characters in the DC Universe.2. Does the BM have any weakness and/or limitations?3. Does BM have any other powers besides the ones displayed in the first issue? 4. Is there either a hook or atwist when it comes to BM's super powers?OMT, I would like to thank you for bucking the trend and creating a very possitive and likable superhero, and especially for making him African American.

1. He's as strong as anybody in comics. Not "more powerful than...".
2. Not like wood, the color yellow or kryptonite. But he is NOT "all-powerful".
3. Yes. He has energy powers. Can't tell you the nature of them yet though.
it's too early in his career for a respect thread, a good 5 years should pass since a lot of things are changing for both major companies. new and powerful characters a plenty.
