    1. @rarity What when has Spiderman been black

      1. @nerthos In the current Spiderman continuity, Peter Parker died and a boy named Miles Morales (who's the result of Osborn experimenting to have similar powers) takes up the mantle

        1. @rarity Weird stuff. Guess marvel just has a huge hardon for changing the skin color of their characters.

          1. @nerthos they didn't change anyone's skin color though since it's not Peter Parker

            1. @rarity The effect is the same.

              1. @nerthos what other super heroes did they even change

                1. @rarity Nick Fury, off the top of my head. Couldn't give you a list as I'm not much into marvel.

        2. @rarity OH! RIGHT! I remember now! Isn't the cover art of him like, in front of a large park and school?

    2. @rarity Is this another one of those pandering to minority gimmicks?

      1. @northernnarwhal Actually, that was insensitive of me.

        Tuesday, 09-Sep-14 23:03:29 UTC from web
      2. @northernnarwhal no. What reason is there that Spiderman can't be black? It's not like the retconned Peter Parker's race or anything

        1. @rarity next time they re-boot it, which will be in less than 20 months, he can be black sure.

          Tuesday, 09-Sep-14 23:05:34 UTC from web
          1. @vcgriffin he already is black

            Tuesday, 09-Sep-14 23:05:51 UTC from web
            1. @rarity wow, that was fast.

        2. @rarity Not that's a reason not to, but you can make the same argument asking what reason there is for Spiderman to now be black. But I digress, it's not really that important, and I'm already sounding way more elitist than I need to so I'm just going to stop my train of thought here.
