"Can't be no black Bruce Wayne though, that's too much generational wealth.." YOOOOO

"Doesnt matter if you got the strength of 10 men, if none of those 10 men cant get mortgage."

"Someone needs black history teaching, I'm on my way Florida !" 🤣🤣🤣

People don't talk about Static Shock enough. It was pretty groundbreaking for the time and covered some serious topics, while also introducing me to one of my favorite superheroes to this day in Static. One of the coolest designed characters in comic book history for sure

Blade doesn't wear Guy Fieri sunglasses. Guy Fieri wears Blade sunglasses. Don't get it twisted 😎

Storm is one of the best all time superheroes. Her character look is iconic. Sadly no movie has done her character any justice. Her best portrayal in in the 1990s cartoon series.

Roy Wood Jr. A hero we don't deserve, but we need him. 😊

The history of Black Lightning and Black Vulcan is interesting: When Hanna Barbera was making the Superfriends cartoon they wanted to use BL but they would have to pay royalties to the creator so in order to save money they made Black Vulcan. A similar thing happened again in the early '00s on Static Shock when he met an electric black superhero from the '70s named Soul Power. Black Lightning also has two daughters who are electric and super. As a result of one guy there are 5 electric black supers, two of them being legally distinct ripoffs.

Roy, in a unitard, with his pants around his ankles, brought me a surprising amount of joy.

CP time is the best segment on the Daily Show. Why isn't it recorded with a live audience? Roy friggin deserves all the laughs!

Missed out on mentioning that Black Panther was the first black superhero to have his own self-titled book, that Storm was the first black superhero to lead a superhero team, and that there were two black heroes in mainstream comics that predate Black Panther: Jackie Johnson in DC's Easy Company and Gabe Jones in Marvel's Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandoes (both were military servicemen in integrated units of specialists (Easy Company and the Howling Commandoes) in stories set in World War Two).

I hope Roy Wood Jr is the next host, and if he's not, we definitely need frequent episodes of CP Time at the very least.

"Storm; an African priestess who could control the weather.. to keep the rain from messing up her hair." 😂

Storms Nephew Spike has one of my favorite. His ability to grow a bone armor and throw his own bones as spikes is metal af.

You left out "Undercover Brother". He was not really a "super"-hero, but he was fighting injustice.

You know it wasn't until the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie that I knew there were multiple green lanterns. As a child I just thought John Stewart was The Green Lantern

😂😂😂😂 this man is ridiculous. What a beautiful segment! CP Time!

One minor correction. Storm wasn't a priestess, when first introduced, she was worshipped as a goddess. EDIT= I do understand how some may get the info confused as Ororo Munroe aka Storm is the daughter of a priestess. fun facts= 1. Storm was actually born in the USA to an American father David, and Kenyan Mother N'Dare. 2. David was a photographer and the family was visiting Egypt when local fighters bombed the area. This killed David & N'Dare and left Ororo buried in rubble. This left young Ororo with claustrophobia. 3. Ororo grew up as a thief in the streets of Egypt (think city was Cairo but could be wrong) 4. as a teen she traveled south to Kenya and as her powers awakened, that's when tribes began to worship her.

Thanks Roy for educating us all; "CP Time" is educational & entertaining.

how could you forget Static Shock?

Speaking of the nineties, you forgot Spawn played so beautifully by Michael Jai [ironically named] White

There actually was a comic in the 90s where Wolverine was getting harassed by airport security because he couldn't make it through the metal detector! And Storm is the best member of the X-Men. This is all true! ...but I'm surprised Spawn didn't get mentioned. Spawn was arguably the most important comic character in the 90s.

Please don’t punch me, Wesley Snipes! Big fan!

My favorite Black Comicbook character is Batwing aka Luke Fox. He's Lucius Fox's son who makes his own suit from his father's tech.

As ALWAYS, "For the Culture ☕." ✊🏾

Roy deserves his own show!

Well Roy Wood Jr. Has covered Horror &now Comicbooks, now I can't wait for if he'll ever do a skit about the Sci-Fi or Fantasy histories, &then it's like a completed set,

This is my favorite story. In 1989, when McDuffie was an editor at Marvel Comics, he wrote a biting, satirical pitch that has since become industry legend. In his pitch, McDuffie points out that 25% of African-American superheroes appearing in the Marvel Universe over the last year have had skateboard-based superpowers or fighting styles, and proposes a new team to take advantage of this and other equivalently exciting trends, featuring four black guys on skateboards.

Man, mentioning Meteor Man was a hit of 90's nostalgia I didn't know I needed.

Love the history and the tie. You don't know how much contribution you made to bring knowledge to the public with humor.

"That requires too much generation wealth" 🤣🤣🤣 you can't hear that a not loose itl

It was TOO MUCH GENERATIONAL WEALTH for me... Took me clean out!

Don’t forget Luke Cage

"keep the rain from messing up her hair"......constant battle...lol

......"that requires generational wealth..." .... GotDAmn!!! 😂😂😭😭😅😅

Roy is the best! He should be the new host! Bring back the Nightly Show!

Luke Cage, Black Panther, Spawn, Patriot, Misty Knight, the list goes on!

Rogue catching stray bullets 😢🤣🤣🤣

Rogue is a out here appropriating other mutants powers 🤣

"It doesn't matter if you have the strength of ten men if none of those men can get a mortgage."

You forgot the first Black Superman character, Steel (1997), played by Shaq, it was the movie that showed Ray J he could make a fortune making films.

We did get a black batman. And what about black superman? Also no black panther mention? Or the history of milestone, Dwayne McDuffie himself, or the static shock show? There is so much worth mentioning here that a part 2 is absolutely necessary.

Great segment, but I have to correct Roy here, there are actually 2 black Batmen, a black Batwoman, and a black Robin (who later became his own Bat-themed superhero) in DC Comics canon.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Roy always bring it!

Couldn't stop seeing the light getting reflected in his moustache 😂

I remember meteor man! I loved that movie

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million Kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the Kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

He definitely need his own show!

I hate that cp time is filmed separately from the crowd, it's better to give the CP time show audience. Because this is the best segment ever and I feel like it's going to be more funnier with the audience included.

you know it's hard to believe, that Prince himself was a superhero when he had his own comicbook series,

No Black Batman...Actually, son of Lucius Fox is currently one of the Batmen around, patrolling New York City.

The intro gave me Mr. Rogers or Sunday morning on CBS vibes 😂❤

Lion Man... Cat themed superhero in Africa protecting a valuable ore? I do have to wonder how much Black Panther was "inspired" by this. As a geek, I am required by nature to point out... John Stewart (the GL, not the former Daily Show host) existed LONG before the modern trend of black replacement heroes. (My favorite of which is Dr John Irons, btw.) But then, given the GL corps has had members that are a gas (Flodo Span) An Equation (Dkrtzy Rrr) A Smallpox Virus Variant (Leezle Pon) and a planet (Mogo)... I don't think a person of a different skin color than the most popular GL is much of a stretch. Among Bruce Wayne's many temp Batman replacements is Timothy "Jace" Fox. He's the son of Lucius Fox, so he probably is heir to some generational wealth, even if his dad was the first generation.

Roy is freakin hilarious! I am a fan.

I absolutely love this man!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

My grandpa and mom are comic book fans. Blue Marvel,Mr.Terrific, Storm, and Black Lightning were the first characters they introduced me too. For sum reason Static is still my fav to this day

It's the legs for me. Roy is hilarious!

Oh, wow! I forgot about Meteor Man! I loved that movie as a kid!

Meteor man left such in impact in my formative years. Green became my fav color since

This was great. I had no idea about Jaxom or Lion Man and Roy is a genius. Educational and Freshly hilarious 😂 😃 😄

This is brilliant, loved it.

Can we have more of Roy in that superhero suit ? Please

"I need gas money for the CPmobile !" 🤣🤣🤣

Storm is my favorite superhero ⚡️ Great segment. 👏🏽

I'mma just assume Roy's always wearing that under his suit from now on. 😍

That coffee mug!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I love War Machine. Former military and always decked out with weapons.

This is the most excellent reporting I’ve ever heard or seen. I’m screaming at the clever quips and history jokes! Thank you

Roy Woods Jr is so underrated! 🤣🤣🤣

I freakin enjoy this segment! I am laughing..and learning chit at the same time. Imagine that!!! For the culture!

Don't forget my boy Static Shock

Seriously Meteor Man is such a great moive.

Shadow Hawk was my favorite in the 90s!

You got me with the Sheila iso, Magneto, and Generational.

Meteor Man is one if the best superhero movies. I will die on that hill.

yow that😂 was funny AF.

5:18 To points to add for context - John Stewart, the black Green Lantern, has actually been around since the early 70s! And while there has not been a black Bruce Wayne per say there have been three characters to either join the Bat-family (Batman's supporting cast of characters) and as of very recently take up the mantle entirely, those characters being: Duke Thomas (The Signal, sidekick to Batman and eventually a hero in his own right), Luke Fox (Batwing, a character who uses Waynetech to create a mechanized Batsuit to fight crime in Gotham), and Jace Fox who has taken up the mantle of Batman (technically in an alternate timeline to the main DC universe but still with his own solo comic book series and being 100% Batman)

And no mention of “Blankman”

I gotta get that shine on MY mustache.

Hardware from the Dakotaverse is one of my favorites

CP time is the best time, love it !!!

ok i wasn't sure before, but here is your new daily show host.

Brilliant Roy Wood Jr.!!! Love CP Time!

Always a perfect segment.

Soooo many incredible references!

Surprisingly in depth. Very cool.

I'm cryin'! That comment about Magneto loving feet messed me up!😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅

Oh, Storm's _badass._ You don't mess with _her._

This guy had me howling 🤣🤣🤣

That was amazingly informative and humorous! Thank you!

Love the outfit at the end. Great work, folksy-man!

The fact that he asked who is better than Storm, only to then immediately name my favorite X-man, Rogue, makes me feel called out

brilliant, as usual ♥

CP Time is awesome!!!

I loved this so much!

Thanks for this daily show.

This was incredible.😂😂😂😂

This was the best one

Loved this! Very funny but also educational. I wasn't aware of those early heroes.

What about Spawn?
