wasn't Green Lantern a black guy for a while? That could be part of it.
See, that was the first thing I thought. But then how come never Power Man or Black Panther? Shit, I
loved both those characters as a kid. Way more than Captain America or Spiderman, at least at first.
Or Spawn, even. Although I suppose Spawn's race is pretty much irrelevant.

maybe green lantern comics come with packs of menthols, i dunno. i'm curious why gbm collected all this data on black people's favorite comics but alsi i'm wondering why iggles is never on steam or irc! :mad:
and i know he's reading this because that (black?) guy loves green lantern

<cool super hero music> "Here I come to save the day".
John Stewart is black and he was the primary Green Lantern from 84-86. He originally appeared in 1971.
He is also the Green Lantern on Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons on Cartoon Network. He is currently a Green Lantern in ongoing comics.
As far as Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan i really don't have much of an opinion yet. I think Hollywood fucks up more often than not when they make a super hero movie.. A lot more often actually. We'll see how it goes in 2 years or so.
I would rather them do full blown CGI or cartoons.
And Horseshit to the guy who said it should be Kyle. It should be Hal and it should have been Hal on the Justice League cartoons also.

I vote for Hal Jordan, because Silver Age comics are so awesomely bad.
Off topic, but the thing about the Marvel universe that never made sense to were the mutants. If X-Men had been within its own self-contained universe then it would've been entirely fine, but it's not. The people of New York City are one minute saying "There's Spider-man, we love you!" then the next minute, "Hey that guy there is a mutant, fuck him!".
Plus the whole mutant thing just gives them the excuse not to bother with any back story. They can just invent their super characters of the week with no need for any real explanation.

The correct answer is Jack T Chance.
