User blog:ARTaylor/February 2017 Poll Results

March is here meaning another poll has come and gone. For Black History Month we asked who your favorite black superhero is. Everyone got some votes and the results were close but in the end one came out the winner.




 * 1) With 23.5% of the votes, the winner was Black Panther. Also known as T'Challa, Black Panther is the first prominent black superhero in American comics debuting in the pages of Fantastic Four in 1966. Since then he has become a major fixture in the comics becoming a member of the Avengers and marrying the X-Man Ororo Munroe. He has been seen on X-Men, Fantastic Four, The Avengers: United They Stand, Ultimate Avengers II, Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, The Super Hero Squad Show, Black Panther, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Avengers Assemble, and Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers. He made his first live action appearance last year in Captain America: Civil War and will continue with his own in-production film.
 * 2) A tie for second with 17.7% was Storm and War Machine. Appearing in May 1975, Storm has been a major figure of the X-Men consistently appearing with the team as one of their strongest members. She has appeared on Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, "Pryde of the X-Men", X-Men, Spider-Man, X-Men: Evolution, Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, Wolverine and the X-Men, The Super Hero Squad Show, Black Panther, Marvel Anime: X-Men, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers. She has also been a major figure in the live action films played by Oscar winner Halle Berry. James Rhodes first appeared in 1979 and has since been a major figure in the life of Iron Man. He took over the mantle of Iron Man, joined the Avengers, and later became War Machine and Iron Patriot. He has appeared on Iron Man, X-Men, Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Invincible Iron Man, The Super Hero Squad Show, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Avengers Assemble, Iron Man: Rise of Technovore, Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher, and Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers.

 * 3) Another tie with 11.8% of the votes were Falcon and Miles Morales.

He has also made several major live action appearances. Miles is the newest figure on the list appearing in 2011. Taking on the mantle of Spider-Man following the death of Peter Parker, Miles has become one of the biggest figures in recent years. So far he has only appeared in Ultimate Spider-Man but the upcoming Spider-Man film will focus on him.
 * 4) Tying for last place with 5.9% of the votes were Bishop, Blade, and Luke Cage. Bishop made a big splash in the 1990s debuting in 1991 and having a large role on X-Men.
