“That Black Woman”

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 @ 9:55 pm | Racism, What Were They Thinking, X-Men

The thing about being a black comic book character is, nine times out of ten, it’s your defining characteristic.

Still, this goes a bit far:

“Gee Maddy, you think? She looks just like her.”

“Well I’m sorry, but they all look alike to me.”

Labor Day plans, so I posted early.

    “Nah.. it’s some other black woman with a white mohawk…”

  3. Dave D Says:

    “Come to think of it, Maddy, I think it’s probably that other black woman with a white mohawk and blue eyes. You know, Oprah.”

  4. Jenny Says:

    To be fair, couldn’t Maddy be asking cause she hadn’t been around the X-men long at that point?

    Or, if memory serves, they’re supposed to have been transformed by Enchantress and should look different, though the art does a bad job of conveying that. . .

    Is that Storm holding Thor’s hammer? Maybe it’s not Ororo at all, but just Thor after another wacky transformation, courtesy of Loki.

    Hey, the big guy has already been a frog….

  6. Dave D Says:

    To be fair, no one ever accused Maddy of being a genius.

    She did marry Scott, after all.

  7. HellRazor Says:

    “Could that white boy be…Cyclops?”

  8. the bizarro Says:

    Just be glad it was the 80′s and not the 70′s, then Scott might have said “Oh Maddy! That is the new sassy sista of 76! Black She-Thor!”

  9. H. Torrance Griffin Says:

    Sorry Maddie, but I would expect Ororo to stick in your head.

    It’s just Maddie getting back at Storm’s earlier comment: “Scott, could that white woman be Jean Grey?”
