Van Stone’s Social Sci-Fi Report: Black Superhero Comics Genre
There are barely 700 Superhero characters recognized worldwide as Black Superhero comics. There are barely 30 comic book publishers recognized worldwide. But the Black Superhero Genre or the style - a way of expressing something (in language or art or music etc.) that is characteristic of a black person or group of black people or black period has struggled as long as anyone can remember coloring books, comic books, or comic strips have begun in the United States. Only in the continent of the United States of America has there been an issue with whether or not children and youths can be told that blacks can ever be considered a hero, aka superhero. In France, Spain, Japan, Africa and any part of the world where mankind is found to have human beginnings, being of a biologically relation to Black Land aborigines, the black person is embraced as hero without question. It's own kind of hero. Celebrated and sought out as a means of credibility, joy, inspiration and the intrepid of standing up to whatever is dark hearted and whatever is intentionally cruel in spirit is the black hero.
The Black Superhero Comic Book Character or Black Comic Strip Character became an alternative format of storytelling compared to the underdeveloped black hero action industry worldwide. In America, the black hero action industry stayed as an unwanted market and suffered from drawing, location, and character restrictions. The lack of Black Artist, Book Writers, Newspaper Reporters, for example, made it next to impossible to develop black comics in America, or fantasy worlds that do not naturally involve Native Americans or Free Blacks. The varied use of animation allowed Japanese, French, Canadian, and African artists to create any characters and settings that involved Black Superhero and Black Leader Genre.
Van Stone blends science fiction with social-welfare issues so all the comic book and comic strip and animation lovers (including anime comics and movies) will be expected to adopt the style of the Black Superhero Comics. And next up is history of the black superhero this week:
Bumblebee; is the superhero alias of Karen Beecher, a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe. She is a former member of the superhero team Teen Titans and a current member of the superhero teams the Doom Patrol.
Scientist Karen Beecher was the girlfriend of Teen Titans member the Herald (a.k.a.Mal Duncan). In order to help make Herald look good in front of the team, Beecher secretly made herself a bumblebee-themed supersuit and attacked the Teen Titans. She escaped without this ruse being revealed.
When she later explained to Mal and the Titans what she had done, they were impressed enough to offer her membership, which she accepted. She and Mal subsequently moved to the new Titans West team, having relocated to San Francisco. When the Titans team dissolved for a time, Karen and Mal married and 'retired' from superheroics. Karen took a job with S.T.A.R. Labs, where she designs non-lethal weaponry.
They have returned to crime-fighting from time to time to assist the team, most notably during a short-lived revival of Titans West and the JLA/Titans event, which reunited everyone involved with the team. A fight broke out over the fate of Victor Stone, Cyborg. Bumblebee personally fought Zauriel, a member of the Justice League. Despite the assistance of the current Supergirl, Bumblebee was swiftly defeated.
Following this, Mal and Karen briefly joined the latest incarnation of Titans West (now called Titans L.A.), but this incarnation of the team never really got off the ground.
