has already been done.... it's called x men...

but the concept is still nice...

 

[jono]

Yeah its going to be very X-Men-ish but thats why I said its all up to the approach. No idea is that original but how you spin it is.

Even "all black people are superheroes," isn't original. There are comics featuring melanin theory as its basis for superhuman powers etc but as an artist you need to put your own spin on it to make it your own.

Thats what I'm looking for here, I want to see how they do it.

@zzombie dude the xmen was based on the civil rights movement... professor x was "Martin Luther King" and magnito was "Malcolm X"... that's public knowledge...

No shit but the premise of the original x-men is very very different from what i think is being presented in this comic because most of the x men are white

We already do.

-Survived 400 years of the brutal practice of slavery

-Ability to "live" forever (see Henrietta Lacks) and HeLa cells

-Ability to use echolocation like a bat (see blind dude Ben Underwood)

-Ability to STILL attempt to live in peace & harmony with people who have tried to wipe us out since the first slave ship arrived.
