I think we need more afro-american heroes and villains from Bowen. I know we have Black Panther, Power Man, Falcon and Storm. We need more minorities to represent. How about Isaiah Bradley (Black Captain America), Brother Voodoo, Blade, Patriot and Man Ape? Here are some pics.

Personally I don't care what colour a sculpt is as long as it's a kickass sculpt.

We should def have a Blade FS by now though.

so now we need more busts just because they're minorities? how about based on the charachters worth.

I agree with Bamfer...but if we are going to play the race card the Asians and Native Americans are really getting screwed over. Thank goodness for Thunderbird!

Is it still PC to refer to someone as being "asian"? I thoguht I had heard that is now offensive too. If so I apologize!

I wouldn't get any of those in either MB or FS and its got nothing to do with skin tone as much as their being lame characters.

I mean really, Misty Knight? If going for afro-centric busts, why not go for someone who might sell more then 100 pieces like Goliath, Night Thraser, or Cloak.

Pus for all we know Iron Man and War Machine may be MBs of an african american. And Bishop and Prowler are on the way so there are a couple more minorities.

I'd go for a Blade though. Out of all those I think he's the most worthy-and Photon and Goliath too(I've got to start reading the whole thread before I post).No interest in any of the others.

You know this isn't fair right? There are very few non-white characters out there. I read an article in the 90's by Dwayne Mcduffie when he was doing Static and he mentioned that Americana, for the most part, does not take well to heroes of color. I think the only character of color from Any company to go over 100 issues without having to relaunch is SPAWN. A seriously burned African American who sold his soul to the devil. :peoples:

Force of Nature

01-02-2007, 06:52 PM

A Blade FS would definitely be awesome (action pose please though!) but my first thought when I read this thread was that we really should have a Bishop FS.
Furthermore I have always liked Maggott (especially when he was drawn by Joe Madureira) and think a FS of him with his two slugs would be jaw-dropping and ass-kicking.

And what about Cloak and Dagger? I think a diorama of this mysterious couple would be great. And let's not forget about Moon Knight's nemesis: Bushman. If done well, his FS could be incredible.

Didn't mean to get under anyones skin... sorry. I was just repeating something that I was told at one point. I used to work for a company in the Semiconductor industry, so we not only did work for Asian companies, but had many people of Asian decent working for us. In certain situations, work being one of them I feel that there is a need to be PC... on these forums, probably not so much.

I apoligize for going off topic, not back to your regularly scheduled thread.

This is rather sad because it brings to light the fact that racism permeates itself everywhere even in comics.
I once read and agreed with an article that said that Black Panther was the ONLY legitimate black superhero.
by legitimate I mean that he didn't have any stereotypical baggage, or wasn't mistreated, or was as honorable as any of the Big name heroes.

Everyone else either had some criminal or questionable background, was overtly stereotypical ( still laugh at the name "prowler" for a black good guy), was gun toting or violent, made horrible mistakes, was a sidekick etc. etc.

Image comics tried to correct this by making several of their top heroes black but unfortunately they ended up doing even worse.
They had an ex assassin who made a deal with the devil and was a BUM, an actual BUM as a Superhero. They followed that with the first ever prostitute superhero who of course was black. The the first superhero to contract aids, then a maniac killer, traitors etc. etc.

sad,.....
