Part Two:

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Welcome to the hype, and I agree. Other than Rambeau there are no upper echleon black characters. Hey what ever happened to that guy they had during Infinity Crusade? the strong guy that could up his density?

yeah i remembered that cat his name was Maxam.That dude just dried up and he was the strongest Bother Marvel had going onThey really need to bring him back
...... oh and Oh Man "Soul Ghost" is by far the greatest if just a tad bit stereotypical especially with the clock around his neck. I think one flavor flav is enough and heaven help us as a superhero. haha

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

What's all this about Storm returning to the X-Men? I stopped reading Black Panther due to Hudlin's non-stop spewing of literary suckage, but what's going on? Are they still together?

 

[terry78]

Never repeat this, but those panels above that Varient posted turned me on.

 

[THANOSRULES]

Is White Tiger III still active?

When was he heard from last?

 

[Dread]

Marvel's Big Fat Wakandan Arranged Wedding is still in effect; no demons have offered to annul it. But, indeed, Storm has returned to the X-Men in Ellis' ASTONISHING X-MEN I believe. BLACK PANTHER is still going, too.

Daughters of the Dragon have that effect on folk.

 

[batnkevlar]

So characters that are black are part of the major minority group... but what about other minorities? Hispanic, Indian, Asian?

Go ahead and throw something on the table and we'll deliberate, what character or group has your bee's a buzzin?

Naturally. Storm's one of their best known members. She can't stay away from the X-Men for long.

 

[ANTOINE X]

I don't know about you guys but I could see a Bishop movie right now

 

[ANTOINE X]

Well, there's Neal Sharra who's Indian, but are there any other Asian heroes?

Master of kung fu. Never understand why there were no movie yet.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

I wouldn't mind seeing Bishop too. I mean not in a solo movie, but in another group X-men flick.I could see that. He always been cool even if i still don't have a handle on his powers.They seem to change from book to book.
Hands down i would go see a Shang- Chi flick in a min. Loved some master of kung fu.

 

[ANTOINE X]

I could see a solo movie set in the futur with xzibit. He played ok in X-files2 Maybe he can do Bishop ?

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

awww man Xzibit would make a great bishop and he can act too. I was surprised he could act. Like i said though if Hollywood is dragging its feet for a more popular character like Black Panther or Luke cage. it will be a while before bishop gets a flick. what sucks too is that Blade started all this renaissance for Marvel.

 

[moraldeficiency]

Ok, I'm just going on the record as saying I do NOT want to see X as Bishop. I've seen pimp my ride once and that was enough for me. Maybe he was good in X-files, I'll wait for the DVD, but there are better actors.

Some of you have a lot of prejudice when a signer turn's to actor. I'm not saying that Xzibit is the best actor around, but for the role of Bishop he sure can do it.
