Why Do So Many Black Comic Book Characters Have BLACK In Their Name? Isn't it obvious they are Black? Could it be that these characters were created over 40 years ago when Black superheroes where rare, so it was a novelty that you had a Black heroes and Villains? So just call them Black (feel in the gap)
Obviously, this little trick has not aged well and some of the names make you cringe. Fortunately, newer Black heroes created in the 21st century. Don't have the name BLACK attached to their names. Like Miles Morales is simply Spider-Man not the Black Spider. Or Riri Williams is Iron Heart and Naomi is Powerhouse without all the baggage.
Lets take a look at some of these BLACK characters and take a look at when they first appeared in Comics, how they have been used in live action and was it necessary to call them Black in the first Place?
