As if I’m going to get that many anyway LMAO.
The producers said there would be lots of characters the first season and here’s confirmation that at least one new male character is on the way.
WHOOOOOOOOO!!!! \o/ BEAST BOY!!
Because he had a vision of comic superheroes for kids and people of all races. And he made it happen.
I’ve told this story before, but I will tell it again. When the Hostess cupcakes promotion happened last fall featuring Batman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern, my friend showed her son the box. He took one look at it and said, “that’s not the Green Lantern, the Green Lantern is black.”
And he is to millions of kids, because of Dwayne McDuffie. And Static is a cool character for kids because of Dwayne McDuffie. And Vixen is as well known as Black Canary to many people, because of Dwayne McDuffie.
His vision, his work, his belief that EVERYONE deserves to have a superhero like them, shouldn’t be forgotten. Must not be forgotten.
RIP and thanks.
could not have said it better myself <3
Via @DavidUzumeri, an internal memo proposal by Dwayne McDuffie to Marvel to highlight stereotypes of black characters. The proposal was called Teenage Negro Ninja Thrashers. He wrote the proposal in 1989.
Thank you, Dwayne, for challenging those around you and never giving up.
R.I.P. Dwayne McDuffie :’C
