Damien666 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well in the Justice League cartoons his is black. Still a funny pic though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yeah, there's been a black Green Lantern for some time now. Sigh--I miss Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. No one filled that suit as well as she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpengeist04 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I do remember him being white in the justice league cartoons from the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I think Hal Jordan did have the longest tenure of the Earth Green Lanterns. There was the original "golden age" Green Lantern, too--I can't remember his secret identity, but he wore a cape and his power ring had no effect on items made of wood. (Too bad his arch enemy wasn't some renegade pro ball player named the "Louisville Slugger.") Oh, my misspent youth . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yeah, he was black in the newer Justice League show. (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yeah, he was black in the newer Justice League show. (I think) Yes, and there's also Hawkgirl. In the older cartoons it was Hawkman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Matter Eater Lad can so kick all their butts. (Now there's an obscure one for you--he was a member of the Legion of Super Heroes, along with Superboy.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisZer0 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 John Stewart was the final "choice" for GL on Justice League and Unlimited because, for all PC intents and purposes, he was black. Originally, the creators were going to use current GL Kyle Ranier, but seeing the "Justice League" lacked a minority character (Martian Manhunter was the last of his people,talk about keeping a brother down), they bumped out cracker Kyle for the shaven head and jive stylings of John Stewart. Also, heres a link to the most recent GLs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Well, heres the true story of the Green Latern. Sometime in the 1990's, Michael Jackson went from guy who did pop songs to the crazy white guy who molests children. Where did Michael Jackson get the white skin from? None other than the old Green Latern, he realised if he wanted to get chicks, he would have to be black. So, he became black and his secondary catchphrase is "Once you go black, you'll never go back!" Since then, Green Latern has become the most awesomest black superhero ever. Michael Jackson, in the meantime, became a child molester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Hill Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 The same super hero trio pictured in the original post were walking around SFMW last weekend. Our Wonder Woman had WAY too much junk in her trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 DUDE! Wonder Woman looks like she had one too many twinkies! Linda Carter, she is not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollermonkey Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Two things: One, I knew there have been a few Green Lanterns, including at least one black guy. I didn't know there had been so many guys wearing that ring over the years! What a bunch of quitters! Two, Now I know why they've never done costume characters for the DC license. It's such a let down having real people try to portray the 'perfect people' that most superheroes are. (Yeah, I know. Batman's a mess, but he's always been a ladykiller, he just usually can't close the deal.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookbaby Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yeah. I went to opening day at SFSTL yesterday and they had an black Green Lantern as well and not only that... he had a British accent! So not only did I not learn the Green Lantern was black but he's British too!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinys Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Be nice. And less brain-washed. Lynda Carter, per imdb: 5' 9" (1.75 m) Measurements: 38-26-38 (Miss World USA pageant) Vital statistics in November 1986: 37-27-38 In comparison: Sandra Bullock 5' 7½" (1.71 m) Measurements: 33B-24-34 (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine) Methinks Ms. Carter had some very shapely junk in her trunk. The Wonder Woman we saw at SFGAdv Friday was FAR too skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
