...Really?
Well...I guess if there's nothing else to complain about...
Deliciously nutritious!
The Black Talon suit is painted black.
Black Mask's mask is...black.
Black Harequin's name is a hint that this guy ain't a hero.
Black Fang's fur is mostly black.
Luther Black's last name might actually be Black.
I dunno who Black Diamond is.
What's the issue?
You forgot:
Black Scorpion
Black Adder
Black Shepherd
Black Mace
Black Mist
Black Dog
Black Ice
Dr. Black
The Black Aces
Bart the Black
Gabriel Black
A bit of name reusing isn't bad, but they kind of overdid it in this case...
Red Winter
Cult of the Red Banner
Must be more red than that.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Red Dawn
Redstone
Red Jack McCall (the shapeshifter inmate)
And the Crimson Serpent could be considered red.
That's all as far as I know.
But in most of these instances, it actually makes sense. That and it's a colour that works well when tacked on to a name or title and quickly and easily conveys something about the character.
I don't know. It seems like an odd thing to get hung up on.
But if you were talking about all the Edgy McGrimdarks running around, then I might have told you because they're edgy teenagers with ego complexes.
It has been used as a descriptor, epithet, and alias since people have been telling stories.
What is strange, IMO, is that the OP only noticed it now.
How many "Black" characters are in DC, Marvel, or other comics?
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.

Yes, I knew I missed many more, there was a lot more that I've seen that would have me post a thread about this....
It's just like in WoW how they went overboard with the word "blood" in new abilities and talents.
Not a complaint, just a humorous observation. Do you see everything on these forums posted as a complaint?
That doubles the campiness.

Except for Butternut Fang, that would be Adorable!
Also remember the colour black symbolicly has theological importance (such as association with the Jesuits in Catholicism) occult significance (representing the secret and the hidden) and in the East is a colour of nobility and royalty.

For example Batman: Much cooler today as we dive into a darker side of his story, rather than the old Adam West cartoony style, the new darker style is just better and more badass.
Another example, The Black Knight: He always triumphs, he looks badass.
It's like how people can portray Pink as a colour most associated with girls, there's no racism involved whatsoever, dumb people however can just take things the wrong way because theyre looking for conflict about anything on purpose -.-
Black Diamond is one of my characters actually >_>, then one day when GRAB was introduced into the game, I was up against...well myself lol

Did I hit a chord somewhere in you? Yeah I don't read comics they were too geeky for me. Names that have such repetition like Black this, Black that, or Dark/Light this Dark/Light that or Captain this, Mr. That, thisman, Wonder this just doesn't seem very clever to me. I mean if it's your thing, sure ok.
It's similar to how there are so many "captains" or alliterative names in comics.

Yep. I see now.
Comics too geeky for you? You're playing CHAMPIONS ONLINE and people from other games just laugh at us. :biggrin: ...
WAAHHHHHHHHHHH

LOL I wonder if everyone got butthurt about my thread. It's supposed to be a joke. This is not srs bizness.
Apparently, Blacklash is an alternate name that the first Whiplash, from Iron Man, went by.

All that. And though I'm not black nor teeanger, I put a "black" in my forum name. Is it serious, doctor?

Gold since 2009. Lifetime since May 2012.
I play with freeforms AND archetypes.
But the Champions setting follows a rather typical superhero comic book logic? *)
So names made in this fashion shouldn't be very surprising here.
*- I said setting, not a Champions MMO, because by merits of its artistic direction and cheesy writing the game itself has serious shortcomings in producing a decent hero comic feel.
And so I hesitantly walked to the mirror on the wall, and with trembling hand leaned and looked far into my own, searching eyes.
And I realized, in that moment, that comic books are in fact--
geeky.
And further, that I, having deeply loved comics as a youth, I can no longer escape the burgeoning reality that I, by association, must also be--
geeky.
And, like an ice-lake yielding to the inevitable kiss of spring, something broke inside of me.
Like a diamond bullet in the forehead, I had the realization that we, the geeky, tight wearing, primary color (plus black and white) wearing geeks who are pathetic enough to actually play this game for the theme for which it was created, are merely fortunate to have a cool kid such as you--one so above--who would deign to show us our folly, and uplift and enlighten us with such a perspicacious and meaningful thread.
Well done, O Captain! My Captain! I salute you.
