It’s that time of year once more where the former British colonies in the Caribbean celebrate both their “Emancipation” and their “Independence” days. As a Caribbean born blogger, I thought it would be prudent to list my favorite Caribbean heroes and villains. The list will also serve as an eye-opener for those who view the term “Black Superheroes” as synonymous with “African-American Superheroes”. The Caribbean is often overlooked in the annals of Black Superhero history but they are strategically located though often too stratified along racial lines to ever hold the power and prominence they could. Skin bleaching has become a sad reality in many nations like my own Jamaica and pride in African retentions are limited at best and non-existent at worst. Many have taken on this bourgeois persona which only serves along with racial stratification to prevent any significant nation-building. There is also the sensationalism of the mass media depiction of people from the Caribbean. I have been asked by multiple Americans upon realizing I’m Caribbean born if we “live in trees” or we “have Internet” followed by the obligatory stereotypical questions. It’s annoying but it’s part of my job and nothing I say or do will stop those stereotypes.
Be proud of who you are, inside and out and remember the words of the great Jamaican Marcus Garvey: “THE BLACK SKIN IS NOT A BADGE OF SHAME, BUT RATHER A GLORIOUS SYMBOL OF NATIONAL GREATNESS”
Happy Emancipation and Independence Day!

Stigmata took out several terrorists, but Teraknid paralyzed her with his poisoned sting, and she was bound and gagged, preventing her from activating her powers. The situation deteriorated, exacerbated by the intervention of federal agent Venom (Eddie Brock) and the vigilante Ghost Rider (Dan Ketch), and Santera tried to kill all the witnesses; in the ensuing confusion, a nun removed Stigmata’s gag, allowing her to call upon the angel Gabriel and activate her powers. She distracted Santera, allowing Ghost Rider to administer his soul-searing Penance Stare. Stigmata then took custody of Santera and delivered him to a secret Vatican Prison.
