He neither has "white" in his name nor is he a hero, but I feel compelled to mention Snowflame whose powers are fueled by cocaine.

Someone gave me a Green Lantern collection to try and read a few years ago. It went through the different teams, how there's a Yellow Lantern Corps(?), a Red Lantern, a Blue Lantern, a Black Lantern, etc. So I was like, okay, I think I got it.

Then they go "So on Earth II..." and I gave up. I can't keep track of all that poo poo.

Oh and Black Panther has a sometimes partner named White Wolf. They even teased calling Bucky that in the MCU before wisely dropping it.

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Hunter_(Earth-616) posted:

Hunter is the adopted brother of the Black Panther, whose staunch nationalism often puts him at odds with the more compassionate King of Wakanda.

...

Hunter's white complexion was also a boon to the Wakandan royal family, though, and T'Chaka would send him on missions to places overseas that were easier for Europeans to access. Not even T'Challa knew the full extent of Hunter's early involvement with the Wakandan secret police, the Hatut Zeraze.[4]

...

After their father's passing T'Challa went on walkabout throughout Africa, and their uncle the regent S'Yan gave more power to Hunter to maintain peace. With this power, Hunter sought to strengthen Wakanda by weakening its neighbors, sending the Hatut Zeraze to sow unrest.

So he's a white Wakandan nationalist who works for the Wakandan version of the CIA.

Yeah I'm sure Disney would handle that well.

I think they're going more for the character--the alien symbiote--not actual venom.

No, it’s venom as in the venom that most spiders have. His abilities are all called stuff like “venom blast”, “venom punch”, etc. Admittedly it wasn’t a great choice when there’s also a super popular character called Venom but whatever

What a horrible thread to have a post.

I AM GRANDO posted:

I remember reading a quote from Stan Lee when Miles Morales became ultimate Spiderman, and he said something like, “I think it’s great that they’re doing a black Spiderman. I wouldn’t have killed the other Spiderman. I’d have made the new Spiderman one of his friends, and I’d have given him a name like ‘the Black Spider’ and they would fight crime together before he got his own comic!”

It’s a wonderful quote because that’s exactly what Stan would have done, except his comic would have died in ten issues.

This is exactly what Sony did with their Spider-Man games only they just called him "Spider-Man" as well.

I get this every time I read a Wikipedia page on a superhero, where some nerd had exhaustively catalogued how Lofi the Sonic Saviour has sound manipulating powers but after the 2nd Crisis War, they learnt how to fly and read minds with sound, but then they merged with Boombox, their counterpart from Earth-23 in the Crustacean Dimension, losing those powers but gaining heat vision until this was retconned in ...

That’s really tame compared to what Wikipedia pop culture articles were 15 years ago. It was like a much lower standards TV Tropes back then.

I like reading this kind of history no matter how dumb it is because of what it's telling me about the creative process of the writers/editors/company of the time. It's absolutely super loving dumb if you think about it happening to a real person instead of a fictional character/universe handled by multiple teams of people across decades.
