Oh, how the time flies.
2020 marks the tenth anniversary of me starting up this blog/website. It has been a rollercoaster of a ride. I started out obscure, simply doing what no one else was. I was good at, so much so I have published 2866 posts, this one being 2867. Across all social media, I have amassed over 70’000 fans and this blog has over 16’000’000 views (those numbers are the reason why you want your product/characters covered here). I have launched a few careers, made a few enemies, surpassed my rivals, fathered three children, lost over 30 pounds, been interviewed by the biggest newspaper in Jamaica about my academic journey, given a few interviews, interviewed many more, had my personal Philosophy of education published by Islandstage magazine, inspired music, had my research in education published, while also working with so many indy creators I forgot to count.
Special shout out to Andre Batts one of the first 200 fans I ever had on Facebook, my mentor Nicholas Dasilva, my apprentice Marcus Roberts, crazy-ass Greg Anderson Elysee, Erik Larsen you rock, Kevin Grevioux long time fan, Todd Johnson and Larry Stroman even though you hate my ass (laugh), Tony Kittrell, N. Steven Harris, talented sistah Dorphise Jean and my homie Sebastian A. Jones. Thank you for trusting me, thank you for embracing me, and thank you on behalf of my thousands of fans for making the superhero/comic book medium that much blacker.
Its been a wild ride.
This list is just a taste of the talent that thrives in today’s independent comic scene. Before I excluded Image comics heroes but since my first list I realize that Image heroes are more independent than many on said list. A fan suggested an update so I’ve decided to create a list of 100 independent published Black superheroes. Indy/Independent in this case will be used to signify not associated with or connected to the big two: Marvel and DC. Like my first list, this one will prove enlightening and controversial especially for those who don’t even realize that there are thousands of black superheroes in circulation and more created each and every day.
This list will also add to my Indy coverage which began way back in 2010 and later evolved into the “Meet The Independents” section. Since I’m limiting the list to 100 heroes however some will simply just not make the cut, Brace yourselves for 100 Indy Black Superheroes you should know?!

Brief Summary
Talked about with fevered hushes and excitement, Brothaman some would argue started it all, the independent comic revolution. Reginald Hudlin and Dwayne McDuffie were huge fans, so much so that they made me a fan. Apart from a minor spat a few years ago between Baba Dawud and Michael Davis of Milestone Media this brand has been free of controversy and squeaky clean. For its influence on such industry giants we can do nothing but give Brothaman one of the very top spots on our list. The one thing this brand needs is a digitization and some serious mass media coverage for it to reach the next level!

Brief Biography
Dusu is a human who has been raised by Galemren, the wild elves of Asunda. For a human to be found among the Galemren is not just unusual, it is unheard of. When the Galemren found him as a young child, his mother was dead, and he clung to her, his face buried in her breast in an attempt to hide, for he was surrounded by the beasts of the jungle. To the Galemren, this was the way of the wild, and if it was the will of Powisienne that the child sate the hunger of the approaching cat, then they could not interfere. But as they turned to leave the boy to his fate, something remarkable happened. The cat did not attack. The cat began to lick the boy as a mother does to her cubs, cleaning him as his mother no longer could. The chief of the Galemren knew this to be a sign from Powisienne, and took the boy as his own son.

1st appearance: Purge #0, 1993
Brief Biography
The best way to describe Purge aka Richard Kincaid is to contrast him against the archetype of all urban vigilantes: the Batman aka Bruce Wayne. In my opinion, Wayne is probably a staunch conservative Republican and his outlook as a vigilante mirrors his political leanings. Kincaid, on the other hand, would probably be a liberal. Wayne is a third generation Robber Baron, his life more in keeping with the Rockefellers and Carnegies, where as Kincaid is more of a Pierre Omiydar (the creator of E-Bay). Kincaid made the bulk of his fortune when most liberal billionaires did, during the Information Technology boom of the 90s.
Kincaid’s vast fortune is comprised not only of patents he’s sold to the U.S. government (as shown in the earlier Purge Comic book series), but also his most commercially publicized enterprise- Internet Television (ITV). When Richard Kincaid isn’t running his corporation, he’s maintaining the status quo in New Salem as a costumed vigilante. Batman and Purge greatly differ in their methods as vigilantes. Batman defends the people of Gotham city from outsiders threatening to infiltrate the city with the goal of terrorizing citizens. Purge’s mission is totally different: he seeks to keep the threats growing under the shiny surface of New Salem from escaping and terrorizing the rest of the world. Batman fights to defend Gotham from evil. Purge fights to contain it.

The average Samoan can stand at 6’0 or higher, but Eloni was the shortest of all his siblings (5 brothers). His immediate family is Mormon, but his grandmother followed the old customs and traditions of the island and believed that his superhuman strength was a blessing, possibly to make up for his shorter stature. Eloni is quiet, reserved, and keeps to himself, but he is much smarter than he leads on. He easily finds a friend in Alex and Grayson.
