Speaking with Dr. Jonathan Gayles of Georgia State University as part of a series of documentaries, Dwayne McDuffie said of the superhero genre, "the fundamental thing that we're getting out of the genre, which is our heroic image of ourselves... It's very much a power fantasy. It's very much a male power fantasy. It's very much a white power fantasy. So, if I write, as I have many times, a story where Daredevil, who doesn't have powers, gets the drop on Thor, who has unbelievable powers, people go 'Oh, that's so cool, Daredevil was so clever!' If I have the Black Panther do the same thing, 'That's impossible!' It's like yeah, it's impossible with Daredevil too, man."[1]
Here’s a preview of my final issue of Justice League of America, featuring the JLA teaming with Icon and Hardware in battle with Starbreaker. Don’t miss the secret of how the Milestone heroes ended up in DC Comics’ continuity.
I also suggest you take a look at some of the comments from your fellow comic book fans. Every once in awhile, I’m reminded how racially backwards a portion of our audience is and how important it is to… You know what? I’ll let them speak for themselves:

“…how many blacks did McDuffie manage to sneak onto the team this time–five? (I bet DC editorial gave him the same order as Burger King in that lawsuit–to “lighten things up around here.”)”
“Why don’t they call this the “Minority League”? ”
“I don’t think anyone will support an original black “mainstream” character. I know I won’t.”
"Couldn't they get Static, Black Lightning, or one of his daughters instead of Dr. Light on the cover of BET League of America? Ha!"
“Maybe they should establish a separate league for all the negro superheroes. I’m not saying kick them ALL off. One would be okay. (Doesn’t Hollywood have some kind of law that says every movie has to have at least one black in it?) I just think they’re going overboard with all this diversity stuff. I mean, how many comics do minorities read anyway?”
Dwayne again. Welcome to my world. You know, the one where race doesn’t matter…
