Are there no black people in America who could get bitten by a radioactive spider, struck by lightning or doused in experimental chemicals? Were black heroes from Africa somehow considered less threatening to white readers?<BR/>And at least Vixen got to be a supermodel and wasn't stuck with the default occupation of nearly all other black heroes: social worker. Even Black Panther, who's a frickin' King, goes undercover as a social worker when he first comes to the States.<BR/>And don't even get me started on Native American heroes!
