With all the talk of Warner Media Doing a Black Superman, I wanted to re-post the list of Black Super Heroes and update with the 2 Supermen, The Next Batman, and the Signal.

Wikepdia's list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_superheroes#DC_Comics  lists every black hero that has ever appeared in DC comics. 

It also lists seperately the Milestone imprint which was primarily black superheroes  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_superheroes#Milestone_Media

Amanda Waller

1. Batwing

1. Black Lightning
2. Cyborg (a couple of minis and one shots)*
3. Green Lantern (John Stewart)
4. Firestorm*
5. Grave Digger
6. Hardware
7. Icon
8. Manhattan Guardian
9. Mister Miracle III
10. Mister Terrific ll
11. The Spectre II
12. Static
13. Steel***
14. Vixen**

*Current member of new 52 Justice League. ** Former member of New 53 Justice League International. *** Appeared in DC dark titles recently and is currently featured in Suicide Squad.

I want to also note that a new, yet unamed black hero was just introduced in the pages of EARTH 2. My hope is that instead of naming this young Kryptonian Superboy or Superman, DC should name him ICON.

I think that would not only keep Icon as a DC name, but to honor the Dwayne McDuffie who created Icon.

Well as you can see from the links listed above, DC and the Milestone imprint have tried to put a lot of new black heroes out there

Here is my list, after looking  at wikepidea's list I want to present a revised list of favorite black heroes.

I am not listing them as top 10 or in order of how much I like them because I want to highlight the fact that
DC has a lot of heroes that are black.  Some have already appeared in the new 52, but most have not.
The only way we can change that is to tell DC that we want to see the diversity that they have promised the readers that they will have in their books.

1. Amanda Waller
2. Amazing Man I and IV
3. Aqualad II
4. Batwing II
5. Black Lightning I
6. Black Spider (as a hero)
7. Bronze Tiger (not sure the new one introduced in Red Hood and the Outlaws is black)
8. Bumble Bee
9. Crimson Avenger III  (not sure about the one in Earth 2 yet)
10. Cyborg
11. Dr. Mist
12. Firestorm
13. Lighting (from the now defunct JSA title)
14. Machiste (from  Warlord)
15. Mal Duncan (who has been many different heroes.. He should have been The Guardian)
16. Manhattan Guardian
17. Mister Bones
18. Mister Terrific ll
19. Northwind
20. Rocket
21. The Spectre (Crispus Allen)
22. Steel
23. Strix (didn't know she was black until I looked at wikepida's list)\
24. Tattoed Man
25. Thunder
26. Tyroc
27. Vixen
28. XS

That is all I have on this subject for now.

Go Forth and Do Well
