I think Sivana was the one who inspired the other Mad Scientists to do something about Adam rather than just run in terror. But Morrow was the one who got the device that knocked him out.

It also includes a character named Steamboat, who's a pretty standard-issue 1930s minstrel-show Negro (big pink lips, accent, and all).

Steamboat is the minstrel show turned up a notch and the yellow peril stuff is also more extreme than you usually see. It's not quite at the "and that's why it's fine to put them all in camps" level, but it's a lot closer than you'd like.

This isn't the right thread for unfortunate racism in old comics, though, so have this panel from a Superman comic that requires no further explanation.

That Batman issue with the strip club cover from a couple of pages ago came out, and none of the women apart from Selina (or even that strip club*) appear in the comic, so the mystery ladies remain a mystery.





*Though the robot replica Superman servants of the Fortress of Solitude do put on a strip show for Lois and Catwoman.

They are not sentient.

But they are programmed to feel shame afterwards.

And why are Lois and Catwoman getting robo-strip shows from identical robots who presumably all look exactly like Lois's husband?

I thought it was funny how there was a men's strip show in the comic that was entirely occluded and off-panel, but also a scene where Lois and Catwoman get naked and bathe together in the Pleasure Pool with tasteful smears of mist occluding their breasts. Really matters where the camera is pointing, I guess.

Equality demands a scene where Clark and Bruce are drifting nude, inches from an embrace, in a rainbow jacuzzi while their dicks are obscured by mist. But I somehow suspect this would be considered too risqué, despite it being the exact same thing.

I quite like seanbaby, and he did a list of https://www.cracked.com/blog/5-shockingly-racist-scenes-in-famous-superhero-comics/ . The Marvel Family comes in at #1, and covers Steamboat well.

quote:

"Most people call Captain Marvel "Shazam" because that's the magic word he screams to transform from young Billy Batson to a superhero. Aside from having a little boy inside him, he was basically Superman, or at least close enough that Superman sued him and won. Oh, yeah, there was one other trait that set him apart from Superman: Captain Marvel owned a slave.


You may be shocked to learn this slave was scared of ghosts.

Steamboat was Billy Batson's "valet," a combination secretary, cook, janitor, pilot, and slave. He was drawn so racistly that if you were unfamiliar with '40s stereotypes, you'd have no idea he was supposed to be human. He looked like a baboon crawling backwards out of a pile of laundry. If the world's greatest artist a card that said "MAKE THE ROOM UNCOMFORTABLE" in Pictionary, Steamboat is what he or she would draw."

Also, it's not actually Cyclops and Wolverine. It's just two two superheroes named Scott and Logan dressing up funny in an entirely different universe because Rob Liefeld.
A quick google suggests that Millar wasn't involved with Youngbloods until the 2000s, so if that's from the original run it's 100% Liefeld.
