Respeto Darwin.

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 Muñoz) 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:

Oh, by the way Darwin is half African American, half Hispanic.

Here he demonstrates an IQ measurement off the charts because of his adaptive powers.

Respeto?

😛

That's Spanish for respect.

Scan 3.

Here is where his power begins to manifest physically. He can breathe underwater!!! 😄 I really like this guy!

Scan 4.

He kicks some preppy but!

Thought it might be.... but it's still typo for Respect in English.

😐

Scan 5.

Here's the fire thingy!! Human Torch, watch out!

Scan 6.

He's outed. 😮

What would happen if darwin had to fight Silver Surfer? Would he evolve cosmic powers?

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.

He tries to kill himself after his mother disowns him for being a mutant. Needless to say it doesn't work. 😉

Scan 8

Gets sent to Xavier's.

I'll post some more of his interesting feats later. I gotta use the bathroom.

Cool another decent black mutant. Yeah, yeah, yeah sue me I feel happy when I see decent black characters.

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)

Honestly? It kinda bothers me.

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....

Agreed.

He is f*ck ugly though.

Nm, I won't hijack this thread with my racial rants Goku.

Darwin surviving more intense heat.

Scan 10

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. 😱

Darwin decides he wants a part of the action and manhandles one of the cybernetic drone things that is giving the entire team trouble.

Scan 12.

Nightcrawler is concerned that Darwin got hurt, and of course he didn't. 😈

Now you are sounding just like Hudlin 😐

The color of skin doesn't matter

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 😄

Darwin learns to read and speak Shi'ar in a matter of seconds. Doug Ramsey who???

Darwin is sucked into the vacuum of space.

Scan 15.

He adapts. 😮‍💨

Sorry little error in the previous post.

Here's the 14th scan.
