Was lex luthor ever black?

No, but that doesn't mean he won't be at some time.  I agree with you that he seems to have some traits that could make him seem to be at least part black in those shows, but as far as the comics go, he has always been white... so far.\n\nLately, the comic companies have sometimes done revamps of characters & alternate universe versions which don't match the same race as the originals.  Marvel has done this in two instances I can think of right off the top of my head.  One was the Kingpin.  Wilson Fisk has always been white in the comics, but when they cast for Daredevil, they made him black.  Michael Clark Duncan did a fantastic job, but as any comics purist will tell you, our major gripe with comic movies is when they stray from the comics in any way, even if it means they change a character's race.\n\nThe other example I can think of is Nick Fury.  This time, however, they have gone into an alternate universe, which they call the Ultimates universe (which is odd since many of the Ultimate versions of characters are weaker than the original Marvel versions).  Marvel Nick Fury is white, & Ultimate Marvel Nick Fury is black.  I think they took this even further, because if I remember correctly, the Nick Fury's didn't fight in the same war either.  Marvel Nick Fury led the Howling Commandos in WWII before becoming head of SHIELD.  I think Ultimates version may have been in Viet Nam, but I'm not sure.  I don't read any of the Ultimates titles, because they stray from original format in almost every conceivable way.\n\nI think comic companies have started doing this lately because during the Golden Age & Silver Age of comics, there weren't a whole lot of black superheroes.  Those there were usually had the word black in their name.  Some of those have been quietly phased out, like Black Goliath.  Others, amazingly, are still around, & people don't seem to mind so much, like Black Panther & Black Lightning.  Back then, I'm surprised kids didn't expect the Black Knight to be black.  It wasn't really until the Modern Age we started seeing a lot more black superheroes whose names didn't require the word black.  With the introduction of characters like War Machine, the John Stewart version of Green Lantern, Night Thrasher, Cardiac (something of an anti-hero, like Namor), & even the reformed Prowler (burglar turned superhero), the list of black superheroes has entries all over the alphabet, instead of all clumped under "B".\n\nNow, if they can only do something cool for us Indians.  Just kidding, because I think they already have.  While Apache Chief & Thunderbird were pretty lame, the Puma is a really cool Indian superhero who also happens to be very active in the corporate world as his alter-ego, Thomas Fireheart.  I hope that Marvel introduces a descendent of Puma in their MC2 Universe, which features many children of current Marvel Universe characters, such as Spider-Man (Spider-Girl), J2 (Juggernaut), & Psi-Lord (the adult Franklin Richards).

JLA- Lastanding- Batman\n\noh yes. batman is abriliiant strategist. and if he new there was no way to stop the fight, he play superman and members from all tteams into destroying each other. when you have a fight like this with so many powerful characters you can't say so and so would win because strength doesn't always matter. the smartest hero would prevail. and batman is the smartest!

although there are some movies on black superheroes, but i agree that whites are more preferred. i think there should be a movie on Static.

Violet.. Because Mace Windu is the only Black Jedi, except in the games. On the set of Star Wars Samuel L. Jackson was the only Actor to get to pick his lightsaber color.

In a way, both.  The character you saw on Justice League is the Fawcett Comics creation known as Captain Marvel.  He gains his powers by yelling "Shazam!", which is also the name of the wizard who bestowed these powers upon him.  DC bought the rights to the character in the 70s, after the character was outselling Superman in the 40s, resulting in DC filing lawsuit against Fawcett for copyright infringement (they said the two characters looked too similar).  DC won on appeal.  This Captain Marvel appears in Shazam! comics.\n\nMarvel has had several characters named Captain Marvel.  The first & most famous was Mar-Vell of the Kree Empire.  He was introduced during the 60s, & used Kree Nega-Bands to grant him great powers.  This Captain Marvel is deceased.  Others who have bore this title are Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers (at least in the Ultimates universe), Pulsar (who was also known as Photon until the third Captain Marvel wanted to take this name), Genis-Vell (the genetically-engineered son of Mar-Vell, who has also been known as Photon, & is now deceased), & most recently Phyla-Vell (Genis' sister, who may also be deceased).  Marvel has said a new Captain Marvel may emerge soon, perhaps during the events of Civil War.  For more information, try the links below.  I recommend doing a search for Captain Marvel on Wikipedia, as this will give you loads of information.

The short answer to this question is that pathologically Lex Luthor desires to be the most powerful man in the world.  He can not accomplish this feat while Superman lives, thus he needs to kill the competition.  Much like many serial killers, politicians, or corporate big wigs (a fine line), their need for power can not be satiated and always left hungry for more.  Besides, I really don't feel like watching a movie about Superman rescuing cats from trees, even though that may have been a better 2 hours spent then Superman IV to begin with.

okay.......(deep breath) It was revealed that kurt wagner's mother and father were none other than shapeshifting Mystique and the evil brute Sabertooth. Making the untouchable Rogue somewhat of Nightcrawler's foster sister. Seeing as how Rouge was raised by Mystique while Kurt was given up for adoption. In the cartoon x-men he was thrown in a river and found by gypsies while in the comic books I believe he was found in a shelter and adopted by circus folk. Now to answer your question one of Mystique's main aliases is Raven Darkholme (a white Native-American looking do gooder) Therefore in many alternate reality issues such as you can find in "Excalibur" and maybe even "Age of Apocolypse" titles, Kurt was actually raised by his mother and therefore goes by the name Darkholme. So where did you see it? :) - Useless knowledge is the best kind to have.

oK! To the outside looking in - Yes! Superman whips them both\nBut most people forget that Superman has trouble defeating Lex Luthor. Batman is the world's greatest detective and would outsmart Superman and lead him into Kryptonite or a red light shining red sun beams turning him human. And with Spiderman's help, he is defeated!!!

For the sake of expediency I am re-posting this answer which was formulated to the question of "Black Jesus?" a few days ago. It was voted best answer, so it may have relevance.\n\n\nI have a close friend who is charismatic, messianic and fanatic who claims to have seen Jesus as a elderly, black man in Key West a few years ago. Of course, he also claims on another occasion to have seen the Father as well, which isn't possible. Can any one say "Angel of light"?\nI think that Jesus( apart from His manifested glory) will be very similar in appearance as He was while on this earth because His disciples recognized Him after the Resurrection-well at least after He opened their unbelieving eyes. He won't appear as a blue eyed, light completion, gentile as our artist have depicted Him or as a black man, or Oriental, or WASP. My hunch is He will probably be darker skinned than we picture Him in our minds. A final thought: be careful of those images which you form with your imagination, they are only one very small step away from idolatry. We are to pray to our Father in Heaven, not to the image of Christ we hold in our minds.
