The original Superman should be black. FACT!

[devilsmile]

superman should at least not look like a beautiful thin lipped, small eyed, perfect hairline and 1950's caucasian business man hairdoo having male that's for sure. i'm thinking he shouldn't even have african features, but "something else". something that looks like it's human kind of but then no where near. thoughts?

First we were told we needed more vitamin D. It turns out we don't. If we get enough sunlight. We can do this. They can't because they don't have what we have.  They need supplements or foods that require vitamin D. 


Critically think "Doc". 

Let's pretend one of us has extensive training in anatomy and physiology that's not online or nursing school. Sunlight is only 1/3 of the Vit D equation.

Yes, blacks have higher bone density but we also have higher muscle mass and differences in muscle fiber types.

The real question is whether or not Superman would give a fuck about humanity. Someone who walked among us as a God would likely decide to rule or be apathetic to our plight.

i think u all miss the point. superman would not look like caucsian but it wouldn't look like a hebrew neither. the dude is from another planet. i think he would look human, kind of, but with features not seen ever on this earth, so..

Take D3, not D2

That's the problem.  You have conventional training. You've been indoctrinated and can't think outside of the box if it goes against what you're taught.

Can't remember what year but they did something in Silver Surfer where he decided that a disguise was the only way to truly learn about humans. Unfortunately, he decided on being black and immediately dealt with racism. He learned enough and vowed to never disguise himself again because humans were so superficial.

Another question no one asks: Why didn't Superman's creators make him reflect their own ethnicity? Superman comic character essentially ignored what was happening during the time of Die Übermenschen.

There is ONLY ONE true superman.

Superman should absolutely not be black. Think about it, his white parents in the rural town of Smallville "adopted" him ie found him in his crashed spaceship. Do you have any idea how much attention would be drawn to them if they had a hebrew child. Lex Luthor would kill the chocolate face before his 10th birthday.

Changing fictional character colors to politically reflect changing demographics is silly.

Arnus isn't black, he altered his appearance and mimiced the first sentient life-form that discovered him, in this case a slave in the American South in 1839.


Arnus Nemesis Kalik'Kak is the real black though.
