Black Panther the character actually existed before Black Panther the movement, right?

Man, you gotta read Ostrander's Suicide Squad.
Her family was very important to her, and they deaths they suffered effected her deeply.
Her kids were already grow when she was introduced.

Flo was Task Force X support staff and a relative of Waller's.
Had a thing for Bronze Tiger and wanted to actually participate in missions.
Got her wish when she was abducted to Apocolips and killed.

John Stewart, Cloak, Icon, Mr. Terrific, Vulcan, Static, Black Panther, Storm, Falcon, Luke Cage, Cyborg, Blade, Miles Morales, Bumblebee. I don't read a lot of comics so that's all I really know the names of.

Oh! And that one bitch that was in some X book a long time ago. She was psychic and wore fishnets. I think she died via explosion or self-immolation maybe?

>John Stewart,
Yes, as a character. Military background plus engineer/architect is a pretty solid base. It's not all drama-woe-is-me like some people seem to prefer. He's competent and a decent guy. Given how little of that there is in comics compared to DEEP TRAGIC PASTS I like him.
> Cloak,
Yes. A few cool stories, interesting concept.
> Icon,
Passable
> Mr. Terrific,
Definitely.
> Vulcan,
Eh.
> Static,
Pretty gud.
> Black Panther,
Great character, mostly pretty lame stories. I think he suffers from the same problem as BlackBolt, the whole 'heavy is the head that wears the crown' story tends to play out better just explaining it than in a comic. And trying to re-humanize them or bring them down to earth just seems lame. BP at least has some good stories where everything gets taken away from him and he has to survive with his wits in the jungle and all that jazz.
> Storm,
Some good stories, lame character most of the time
> Falcon,
ehhh....
> Luke Cage,
Definitely. He's grounded while still being larger than life. His drama is realistic (mostly, sort of, in a larger than life way) instead of being all Alien Baby Momma turned out to actually be a skrull clone from the future.
> Cyborg,
Great concept for internal strife and whatnot. Never, ever, ever delivered on well.
> Blade,
Honestly, I like him, but he's such a putz of a character concept. If he was created nowadays people would be trying to figure out whose fan OC he was.
> Miles Morales,
I like him casually, but interesting is not a word I would ever use
>Bumblebee
Pretty cool, kinda interesting, grant you that one.

Where did the Bumblebee fans come from? This Rebirth team is literally the first ongoing series she'll be starring in since the 70's. The fucking 70s. [Yes I know she was in Giffen's Doom Patrol. She was a supporting character at best].
I mean, I'm all for finally giving her some attention, but seriously?

Father was killed by Atlantians.

Combined with his (legit) autism and you get a villiean that hates Aquaman because fuck white fish.
>>
>>83454537
They've tried to retcon reasons in but they're always retarded

- Manta was an autistic who was raped as a kid on a houseboat. He saw Aquaman out of the window but Aquaman didn't notice, so Manta blames him for his childhood rapes

- Manta accidentally killed Aquaman's dad, and Aquaman accidentally killed Manta's dad, so they each hate the other for killing their dad.

Ultimately the original reason is the best - He hates Aquaman because he hates Aquaman. No justification, no explanation, just "fuck that guy"
>>
>>83454740
I wouldn't call myself a fan, that's why I said I'd give him that one. She is pretty fun, but you're right she's basically only been a supporting cameo for ages.

>>
>>83455061
In Teen Titans she was the leader of Titans East and an undercover agent in Hive Academy.

In Young Justice she was a scientist working with Atom.
>>
My favorite is Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt). He was a great character is the JSA books and has a pretty cool costume that pays homage to the original. His short lived series in the new 52 was not very interesting, but I hope we see him again in Rebirth.
>>
>>83454921

If I remember right while Aquaman was dead for a couple of years, Manta actually went off and lived a normal life working at a fish shop for a while....

But the moment he came back and he heard about it he WENT NUTS RIGHT AWAY and went right back to "FUCK YOU AQUAMAN!"
