Yeah, aside from green-skins (Brainiac 5) and blue-skins (Shadow Lass), the Legion's heavily focused toward Caucasians. I note that the new Star Boy is black, and I've seen Tyroc in the background in some battles. What "issues" has Tyroc had?
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "Justin Mohareb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's a strange thing. The legion has always beena bit on the strange side when it came to ethnicities. Almost all of their human members tended to be white people (one black man, one Jewish character). It seemed that Earth's extraterrestrial colonies were entirely inhabited by white people. I think having KK be Asian is a bit strange. While it's good to see a non-White Legionnaire (and Tyroc had... issues), making him the martial artist almost seems like a default choice. Sort of an "Of course he knows kung fu!" type trope. JJ Mohareb On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 8:29 AM, Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm no so sure, Keith.
