Well when it comes to the X-Men in particular the men usually get the short end of the stick in the powers department.

I still like Nezhno though...

It'll eventually balance itself out. You can see it by looking at all the next gen superheroes.

Well ok but as stated before I was actually satisfied with the other black mutants before they got depowered or killed (I know white got killed and depowered to) such as Prodigy, Sync , Bedlam if they brought them back again basically I would stop moaning. When they were around they actaully in my opinion made up the 12 percent balance.

This is borderline disgusting. A lack of representation in a fictional medium isn't due to racism.

"Oh, my cartoon characters aren't dark enough, I feel under-represented, where are my reparations?"

Most of you fools don't know what real racism is. Do the words 'Jena Six' mean anything to you?

Who said it was due to racism? I personally think it's a business decision.

Who said it was? About fourteen coddled ignoramuses in this thread.

Pretty much what I think, someone said it before..but it never hurts to repeat...characters shouldn't be introduced just because they satisfy the race quota...characters should be introduced because they bring something to the story.

personally I agree with that, that characters shouldn't be introduced JUST TO FILL a quota.

However, this is why I think there should be a diverse cast. Because essentially, Marvel and DC Earth are worlds with the same demographics as ours (ie Europe has majority whites, Asia has majority asians, Africa has majority blacks, etc). So it would ONLY be scientifcally logical that there is equivalent diversity in the superpowered beings...unless superpowers are limited to a gene from white people, which I could accept as an explanation.

the main complaint a lot of people have here is proportionally speaking the comic book industry is mainly composed of white males and that's a problem.

Then maybe some Asian women should apply for positions in the industry . . .

I've been looking for you eversince I read NXM #42.

I would like to take the time now to say:

"I told you so."

Nehzno's powers are so dope they're killing him.

I like how they already told us that he won't be around after MC.

Thanks guys 🙁

What up Alf 😄

Why do people assume that the creation of a Black character HAS to be done to "Fill a Quota"?

And NOT to introduce a new super hero?

I personally don't think it's fair there aren't enough green color skin characters in comics.

Give Hulk and J'onn J'onzz some support.

Jonn has lived a life as every race on earth.

Now thats understanding diversity.

They said that? Where and when? I don't recall reading that. With Elixir becoming insanely powerful at the moment....I really doubt he'd get killed off. 😬

I'm hoping...well my money's on Bishop to bite the dust...I really don't like him...after the X-treme Atrocity of Claremonts I don't think there's a soul alive who can save the character.

I think the Hulk was made green because the ink was cheaper than grey. srug
