Yeah, it has nothing to do with stuff like demographics. :rolleyes:
Yes. CRTL+F generally allows you to find text within a document, including webpages.
I agree with Chronos about names.
Black Panther
Black Vulcan
Black Lightning
Black Goliath
What I want to know is, where are the Hebrews?
As a kid I asked myself that. I found
Sabra, Marvel’s official Israeli hero
The Seraph, A DC hero and member of the everybody is a token Global Guardians
Kitty Pride- I only learned this when she fails to ward off Dracula with a huge cross and he grabs her by the throat, burning himself on her star of David.
It has since been revealed(apparently after much editorial debate) that Erik Lenshier is not Magneto’s real name and he is not a Sinte. He is a Jew.
The Thing (who was originally supposed to be a Jew, to the point that Kirby proudly displayed drawings of him wearing a yarmulke and tallis and holding the torah. BUT who has been shown in various instances to be a Christian of unspecified sect) was retconned to have always been Jewish.
You have mostly white writers and mostly white artists, they’ll create mostly white characters. When you have mostly black writers and mostly black artists, they’ll create mostly black characters (see Milestone). Does it really need to be more complicated than that?
The Ragman comic was based entirely around Jewish folklore.
And there is an entire team of Israeli superheroes called the Hayoth who first appeared in Suicide Squad.
Thanks for the tip.
I want to say that’s wrong, because I could swear I have Renee showing up in the 80s, somewhere in the 300-early 400s. Or rather, a character with that name. Or at least a female character with the last name Montoya. Sadly, I can not back it up. I simply remember being startled by noticing it.
Nubia has made some modern appearances. She’s pretty awesome, despite being stuck in the underworld.
Colossal Boy of the Legion of Superheroes.
Atom Smasher
The Atom (Al Pratt)
Moon Knight
Batwoman
Dust Devil of the Blasters
Funnily enough, Wonder Woman’s issue this week reveals that T.O. Morrow is Jewish. And he looks to be halfway through a heel-face turn.
FWIW, she wore a Star of David in her first appearance, so she was intended to be Jewish from the beginning.
I don’t recall any mention of him ever being Jewish. If you’re going by the fact that Atom Smasher is Jewish, you should know that they are not related by blood at all.
Doesn’t ring a bell for me, either, but Al is based on a jewish RL strongman, who went by the name The Mighty Atom.
Iceman’s half jewish. Dunno if he was intended to be from the start.
Masada from Youngblood, was, though, even if she is a bit obscure. But the most famous comic book character known for being jewish? Dr. Harleen Quinzel.
I didn’t think it revealed Tomorrow as being Jewish, specifically. He could be any number of eastern european ethnicities. There’s a lot of genocides in the Balkans. (Armenian, f’r example.)
Damn you, foolsguinea! I was going to list The Brown Hornet. 
You have a cite for that? I have her origin one shot and every issue of her solo series and her being Jewish is news to me.
Hrm…I’d thought Al was related to Albert’s mum…not sure why I thought that.
1997, Batman Adventures Holiday Special, story The Harley and the Ivy. Harley asks Ivy if they can have a Christmas tree. ‘Absolutely not <insert predictable Ivy ranting>. Besides, aren’t you Jewish?’
‘Yeah, but they’re so bright and colorful, an’ stuff.’
Well shave my head and call me shirley, Harley is Jewish! I always assumed with that blonde hair and the name Harleen, that she was southern baptist.
Tengu:
Al adopted her after her father died in an attempt to kill thet Ultra-Humanite. She designated Al to be her son’s (Albert’s) godfather. No blood relationship, though.
there are plenty: Tupak Shakur, Biggie, Snoop Dogg…
OK, yeah, that’d probably be where my confusion came from.
While we are on the subject of under represented or misrepresented in comics-
Tengu.
After getting his spine healed, Bruce Wayne briefly wears a mask he claims represents a tengu. The mask clearly depicts a bat. Tengu are depicted with either red faces and salami noses, or the faces of crows. I have never seen a tengu depicted as a bat. Sadly, the tengu have always had a small population and the industrialization of Japan has reduced their numbers. There simply are not enough of them to make their voice heard. It’s up to us to protest this inaccurate portrayal and to defend the honor of the tengu.
