Black teen girl super hero

Are you implying a woman can't be a hacker?

She is black lad. Those fuckers age like shit.

But I thought 'black don't crack'?

Someone at DC said "Marvel has a super smart black kid character, we need one too" and proceeded to fuck it up as usual.

Why is this 11 year old wearing such thick lipstick?

Only black men don’t crack, and that’s because the mostly die of heart disease, among other things, before they get old enough to crack.

Or you can skip all that and have it be an old damaged power ring and battery that she finds. The ring has half the power, but none of the protocols for 'worthiness' to use it. She would struggle against enemies that guys Hal and Kyle could cream, and her journey would be to prove her worth as a 'real' Green Lantern. After a while Salaak finds out about the ring and battery and deems her worthy of a real ring or some bullshit like that.

But a storyline like that wouldn't get woke pee-pee touches though...

>mostly die of heart disease
That's hip slang for bullets, right?

>Hi, my name is Brian Michael Bendis. I enjoy putting more representation into the world of comics. Recently, I created a black, female, human Green Lantern.
>I created this character to fill a vacuum. After all, there are no female GLs in the Corps, every single human GL is white, and God knows we don't have enough humans in there yet.

Here's the question, how would you fix her?
Without killing her of course, that'd be too easy.

>there are no female GLs in the Corps, every single human GL is white
>Huh, why no, I haven't read a single issue of Green Lantern. Why do you ask?

What kind of 11 year old looks 30

The 'woke' kind

Simon Baz.

You just described Simon Baz.

Welp, that's what I get for dropping GL at the height of Darkest Night. Is there a good trade of Baz stuff?

Why is it that so many human GL have to exist at once?

didn't bendis pretty much do the black genius girl with Iron man?

>Really, what the world needs right now is more GL headliner characters.
>It's so easy for us to provide relevant places to talk about all the previous GL protagonists right now!
>See, if you think about it, we can easily fit Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rainier, and all the non-human members in one comic, and Simon and Jessica in the other.
>Sometimes the intern comes up to us and asks if we're forgetting a human GL, but we obviously aren't, so we just send him to get more coffee.
>Speaking of human GLs, isn't it about time that the Corps finally included a black character in their ranks? It's been decades!

Why is it always black girls, and why are they always geniuses?
You can count on half a hand the amount of black female scientists and engineers of even remote worth there have been.

>You can count on half a hand
Is this a real phrase?

>You can count on half a hand the amount of black female scientists and engineers of even remote worth there have been.
To be honest, I can't even remember the name of one. At least with black men I can think of a few.

>another green latern
>fucking copypaste Riri
Ok this is legit embarrasing
Bendis is a legit menace for DC.

There was that one lady who worked as NASA. She was important.

you kill her
it really is just that easy

yes afro latinos exist. go to the caribbean, columbia brazil etc.

Wasn't that made up for the sake of a film?

blacks age well cry more cumskin

>That intern is asking if I watched the Justice League cartoon? Said something about his favourite Green Lantern is on there? Whatever!

>afro latino
Please stop.
Just call them black. "Afro" is such a fucking embarrassing americanism.

>Here's the question, how would you fix her?

Easy. Just make the ring connected with Alan Scott's ring instead of the Guardians' main ring, give it the kind of weaknesses his ring had, and work from there.

>>Steals the power instead of earning it
>implying that stealing and hacking isnt earning.

Hal Jordan was just sitting around when he got his ring.

That's still more valorous and deserving than stealing.

>Now that we've established this new, young, hip Green Lantern, we're going to make sure that she stays on earth.
>The one thing we have to make sure of is that our new characters never communicate with any of their fellow members of an intergalactic military corps for any reason, especially not for contrived reasons such as """getting to know your new coworkers""" or """being mentored by experienced leaders from the same sector as you."""
>Honestly, why not just keep this fine young lady on earth? Extraterrestrial threats are for Hal and the other guys I forgot the names of. Maybe she can fight the Red Lanterns once to make the fanboys happy, but other than that, I want to make sure that this is a new down-to-earth take on the Green Lantern series, one which has never been done before.

Make her a villain. There aren't nearly enough Latin American women villains

He wasn't outright looking for it tho, Teen Lantern on the other hand apparently stole and hacked the thing so, and I quote, "she could go to the Hall of Justice and get an internship"
Speaking of Alan Scott, Bendis did write Kingdom Come Alan Scott giving her his approval.

>11 year old
>hacked into a green lantern ring
Jesus fucking christ, how in the fuck would she know how to do that? that shit works on both magic and tech the last I checked, the computer systems are not only insanely advanced, protected by an fucking AI, but the code itself was made by aliens, who ever let bendis into DC should be fired for this shit.

I love when people try so hard to he so woke they go back to being racist.

Although the fact they put black people on a pedestal is inherantly racist in the first place.

wait wait wait, Riri's supposed to be fucking FIFTEEN?

>John Stewart? Yeah, of course I know him, who doesn't?! But I'm more of a Stephen Colbert kinda guy, y'know.

Bennis does not deserve to have his prostate stimulated even if it kills him. That's way too kind

Has Bendis actually ever done anything worthwhile or are we just better off Zooming him in the past

Yea, something like that, she's definitely still a teen.
>Has Bendis actually ever done anything worthwhile
Arguably not since Powers.

Okay, circlejerk aside, that one actually made me laugh. Like, externally.
Anyway,
>One of my favorite parts about the Green Lantern lore is the idea of the three different Lantern Corps: The Green Lanterns, the Red Lanterns, and
>uh
>uhhh
>The Yellow Ones. I think they used to be important?
>Anyway, we'll probably consider including one of those other Lanterns in this comic. The non-green ones, that is; having more than one human GL in a comic would prevent new characters from having time in the spotlight!
>Think of Simon and Jessica! They share a comic, and suddenly, they're completely one-dimensional characters who are unappealing in every aspect of their beings!
>We've certainly learned our lesson, and from now on, all the important GLs will have one comic each, and the rest can share a different one. This means that with the addition of this new Lantern, we will have two GL-related comics running simultaneously. I'll get the intern to write the less important one.

>Hold on, the intern is using some weird OC black GL as the protagonist of the other comic. Maybe we should fire him?

You/op says she haven't earn it, NOT she deserve it.

I was waiting for a good opportunity to use that Stewart punchline.
>I'll get the intern to write the less important one.
>>Hold on, the intern is using some weird OC black GL as the protagonist of the other comic. Maybe we should fire him?
>A former U.S. Marine? I dunno, seems a bit aggressive. We don't want to minority characters to have flaws, and not be a role models. That might be too interesting! Can't the intern make him a, I dunno an architect or something?

>I've decided that we need to ditch this "marine" idea. It does not meet the tone I'm looking for in this comic.
>People don't go to comics like Green Lantern for stuff about law enforcement or peacekeeping. The only appeal to comics like GL are wacky characters and storylines, which can never be balanced out with more serious aspects, or even a tone anything short of lighthearted.
>Honestly, why does anyone think GL was popular during the 2000s? It was obviously because the weird orange freak liked taking stuff. Everything else was really just window dressing.

Bumblebee?

>Sinestro Corps War? Why would anybody fight over Sinestro's dead body? See, this kinda shit is why DC needs me on GL!

Bullets is a young black mans disease, heart disease is what gets the ones who reach their forties.

The average black life span is 71-73 in the U.S. so ah no

If you pay attention to Bendis' minority creations, a lot of them have elements that would be considered "problematic" as fuck.

afro means of african origin dumbass.

Hacked a green lantern battery? Even Batman hasn't done that

>Oh, yeah, I love transformers, but DC doesn't own that.
>Honestly, the biggest problem with this "war" thing is that there's too much fighting. Again, this is not what Green Lantern is supposed to be about! They aren't some sort of weird team of police officers; they're superheroes, for crying out loud!
>This new Green Lantern is going to be a great return to form. Just look at her origin, for instance. Since no one cares about how the GLs get their powers, we can use that fact as a way to establish that this character is far smarter than most other people in the DC universe.
>If there's one thing that comics need, after all, it's more characters who are good at science and engineering. The worst part about the five formerly important GLs is that they all have really weird backgrounds that don't have anything to do with being smart.
>I mean, come on! Working-class men? Introverts struggling with social anxiety? ARTISTS? These aren't relatable characters! We clearly need someone whose abnormally high IQ is their real superpower, because that's how you make a role model.
>There's no other way to do it, after all. It's not as if every Green Lantern comes with some emulatable personality trait tacked onto them or anything.

The only human I could possible buy 'hacking' a power battery is either Bruce or Lex...maaayyybeee Doctor Sivana.

>her journey

Woah woah woah, there slow down, there buddy. Heroes having journey's and story arcs where they have to learn to use, control and earn their status as a hero is a dated thought process. The modern progressive hero is powerful and awesome out the gate. To even insinuate that a character should earn the readers empathy and endear themselves to us through trial and tribulation that speaks to us on a human level is just flat out racist.

Meh, just ignore her then the moment Bendis is off the book reveal that she's actually the new Power Ring. Go full fucking horror with a 12yo that has half her body warped into something out of a 80s OVA and is leaking extradimensional energy while attacking GLs believing that they've sabotaged her ring and that Volthoom is the only one who is helping her.

Bruce? Really? Sivana seems more likely then Bruce considering his whole superscience=magic thing

>Bruce
Guess my brain still hasn't gotten over that whole 'Batman can do anything' shit DC writers love so much. Sivana with a ring sounds like a fun story.

>user Bendis doesn't think. He's a dumbass who crams black OC creations into fiction whether or not it makes sense just to pat himself on the back

It's more for his family he is adding those characters than selfgratulating. Bendis has two adopted black daughters and he has said that he adds those teenager/child character for them.

So, kinda like a modern Birdy the Mighty? Sounds good.

That is not the face of an 11 year old child.

I was thinking Banner kek. Yeah Batman seems like a might with some large batwank

Yeah, Riri and her origins story was kinda shitty, due to Bendis.

I was thinking more about playing around with how Volthoom and Power Ring usually works. Instead of latching on to a weak-willed person then grinding them down like an abusive spouse, it attaches to a strong-willed person desperate for validation and recognition then plays up their ego before separating them from everyone and spiraling them into dependency and paranoia. Like a different kind of abusive spouse.

Setting aside the clearly adult facial proportions, she's wearing full makeup. Even if they fixed the former, as long as they kept the latter it'd be the same. An 11yo wearing full makeup and consistently insisting she's a teen would indicate something really unsavory in her background.

The best part is that you can make a pretty strong argument that it's racist as hell.
Tony Stark origin: wounded prisoner builds powered armor out of scavenged material to escape captivity
Riri origin: teen supergenius steals a bunch of shit from her university to build powered armor so she can play superhero

Box of scraps meme aside, having Riri essentially assemble her armor out of off the shelf components that she stole using cutting edge tools and equipment that she also stole literally sets her up as "shitty version of Stark" and plays into a lot of negative stereotypes about black people.

I was referencing to her "I want to be the next Tony Stark" just because that was the only thing her teacher said she could not be.

Her ring has a "genie" in it, like Aladdin. She has to verbally call out what she wants and the genie will argue and insult her. It's actually a demon that's evil and trying to get free.

She copies the Green Lanterns and builds a "Lantern" herself out of scrap from a magical villain's weapon so she can better control the entity and harness power without it. But she's explicitly not a lantern and uses a different power source.

After a while she gets ahold of a few other magical artifacts and the demon escapes. The team has to fight him because lord knows the titans haven't done Trigon enough. Then he gets sucked into the lantern and they throw it into space and she becomes the Green Witch or something and is her own character.

I dropped GL like a year after he was introduced and I get the impression he was badly received and dropped not long after Johns left.

Don't forget about Moongirl too. They even made her the third smartest character in the marvel universe to appeal to a demographic that doesn't give a shit because they don't read comics.

Oh wow, the quality of that 3d-model comic is... christ alive I think Striker had better quality to it- and that was a fucking footie strip-comic in the Sun. In 2005.

Also, Sinister RiRi in panel 4 just confirms in my mind she really did steal those parts she 'found'.

No. There was a whole department of them. But this was in the days before computers were viable and so they used them to do a lot of the math and calculations before calculators were really a thing. The work was valuable and it wasn't simple but lets not pretend they didn't get phased out over time for a reason.

It's important to understand there's like 400 gorillion scientists and most of them labor in anonymity since they don't get on TV or do Joe Rogan podcasts. Which is fine. A lot of the "Black girls can do it too!" shit is annoying specifically because they're broadcasting that they do what everyone else already does.

The thing is that the demographic they want can't afford comics because nobody can afford comics outside of adult men with lot of disposable income. 4 or 5 bucks for a floppy means fucking nobody cares to follow a story even if they otherwise would because buying multiple comics a month means you're probably spending as much as you would on a used or older video game a month. A trade is worth the cost of basically the same even if it's more efficient and time per entertainment means you'll never equal it.

When you're targeting poor kids with an expensive luxury item nobody will care.

>t. Nigger

Don't do it user! Using your wood on her would destroy her! She's weak against wood!

Programmer used to be a female job back in the day, because it wasn't seen as important as engineering.
Most spaceship computers were programmed by women.
When computers became common, male programmers became more common, because it was seen as an important job.

Many of the pakistanis wont even buy comics But ms.marvel became successful . It all depends on how the character works not who the character is.

Yeah but Bendis is marketing TO THAT DEMOGRAPHIC.

This is the issue. He's selling a product to people who aren't in the market and don't want to be.

Why are we still here?
Just to suffer?

>Bend... Is!

Because Bendis has 2(?) Adopted black daughters and he does his best to make sure that they'll always see heroes that look like them in comics. Of course, Bendis being Bendis, he does this without a care to continuity, logic, or good writing.

Yeah but she is fixed now that bendis doesn't write her anymore. Now she just needs white boyfriend.

She looks like one nowadays.

White guilt is crazy.

They're trying to counter the stereotype that blacks have a low IQ, and the fact that women aren't in STEM fields.

I mean, his hearts in the right place I guess.

His brain should have been too. There are so many instances where new writer made his character great after he left .Recent one being Riri.

Bendis wouldn't stop stroking his soiboi boner at just being a child, and minority race in America. She'd have to atleast be a different orientation or one of the other mental disorders (read "gender"), as well as being the strongest Lantern in existence.

It’s actually a bootleg China Green Lantern Ring. Those things are just knockoffs that make force fields

So since she wasn't chosen, she should have the weakness to yellow, right? Or was that removed entirely instead of having new recruits chosen for "overcoming great fear?"

That was after he left her book.

Succeed at what though?

This annoys me more than anyone else. He doesn't know about Jessica Cruz does he? Hacking a power battery? Last time I check is runs on the emotional spectrum. Someone down the line is going to wave it off as saying she was chosen anyway or waiting until she was older. Bendis needs to read Green Lantern stories and not assume something stupid. That's my beef with this brat.

Bolivia never had slaves, there are almost no black people there. It's like saying there are white people in Somalia.

Are you implying John wasn't in Hal Jordan and the GLC comic, or that he's currently not in the JL comic?

>Bolivia never had slaves
Yeah they did, everyone had slaves back then.

TO convince you that they are not same.

Well yeah, because they're not.

>Bendis
>reads comics
Bendis doesn't even read his own shit.

Whatever you say man. For me its obvious. From the color of her costume, hair and the X.

everyone had slaves, but they all weren't black.

Ok but Bolivia definitely had african slaves.

>the color of her costume or hair

I think it's the exact opposite. Hacking it is an act of will.

what a shitty cover-

No it didn't you fucking retard, slaves worked on the plantations and that is the reason they are in the caribbean. Colombia is a fucking mountainous region populated by indians, it has no plantations no access to the atlantic and no reason to have slaves. I already addressed the fact that there were maybe a handful of black people there, that is not a fucking excuse to represent the entire country of bolivia with a black person. Go fuck yourself, retard.
