Impressive list; Never knew it was that long. I’ve been making up superheroes since grade school, and I have my group, along with villains and a nice metropolis in which they fight crime. But this is a most impressive list. I never knew that there were so many. I will have to do a lot of reading of your list! Excellent work!
We have a good variety of superheroes. We just need to give them a platform for a regular showcase. To do that, we need to control our own media source.
Wow!!!!!! This is MAGNIFICENT!!! I thought I NEEEEVVVVVEEEERRRRR would see a roster of BLACK Superheroes of this magnitude. I just wish that you guys would be BLESSED & FAVORED by GOD ALMIGHTY to SOMEHOW get the attention of major Hollywood execs to script and produce full-length, top-level, mainstream major motion pictures/television series about these brothers and sisters. Move over MARVEL!! Move over DC Comics!! Move over Captain America!!! Move over Incredible Hulk!!! Move over Spiderman!! Move over Thor!!! Mover over Superman!! Move over Batman!!! Move over Wonder Woman!!!! Here comes the real Saviors of the Universe!!! As a young black man, this would be a dream come true to see these heroes fleshed out on the big and small screens. Let’s tell their stories and make little white kids root for “our” heroes instead of the other way around for a change. Get my drift? Just make sure that if/when you make live-action movies, that you all get the right actors and actresses to portray them masterfully on the screen. Another word of advice: ASSUME TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR PRODUCT. IT IS YOUR CREATION – NOT “THEIRS”!!! But first you have to masterfully build up mainstream public interest with cartoons, comic books, magazines, video games, etc. GET THEM KNOWN TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. MAKE THEM POPULAR TO ASIANS, AFRICANS, MEXICANS, ALL OVER EUROPE AND ELSEWHERE. You guys have a lot of crucial work ahead of you. Make me happy!!! Get it on!!!!
What kind of shit is thst tyo have a BLACK WOMAN named Cap-Confederacy?????? And to put her in a a fucking confed suit is almost saying black pepole stood for that shit. They might have made niggas fight, that ain’t shit to be proud of. Whoever made it should be shot n the head!!!!!!!
I am blown away by this list. I knew of some but never imagined there enough were so many. I have some reading to do. I hope to one day have my own superhero on this list. Thank you so much you have enough made my year
This is a great list. Thanks. I only miss the Magus from Jim Starlin’s Warlock. And somewhere in a box I have the first 3 editions of Marvel’s Black Goliath.
Just stumbled across your site and glad that l did. This was an amazing list and very emotional for me to see that we had such a huge catalog of heroes & villains that look like us. l just wish we had our own media sources to push these characters and make them major success as they should be. l hope some day to accomplish that goal with my own work of art. Thank You very much for this. Will definitely make your site one of my stops when l’m online.
This list of black superheroes is awesome. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for posting! I was talking to my husband, trying to figure out who the black superheroes were. I only knew of a handful. My knowledge about them was woefully small. This is great information. I showed my husband this list as well. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much. I have been looking for a list like this for a long time. This will help with tracking down collectibles.

Are these all official black heroes and villains.
What do you mean by “Official” Static?
I didn’t see Mr. Terrific or Black Lightning anywhere on that list, I may have missed them but in case I didn’t you should definitely add them!
You missed them Nathan

I meant if they are actually in mainstream media and aren’t fan made. Sorry I didn’t clarify.
None are fan made. All have graced the interiors of comic books both mainstream and indy.
Thanks man. Who’s your favorite black hero and/ or villain.
Black Panther and Misty Knight are my favorite mainstream black superheroes and Midnight Tiger is easily my favorite Indy black Superhero! 🙂
