This all started back in 2011 around New 52, the big relaunch to gather new readers. Geoff Johns wanted Hal Jordan over John Stewart as Green Lantern, and Cyborg was their best option at the time due to widespread recognition via the Teen Titans cartoon. However this regulated Vic to be a walking plot device and bus thanks to his Mother Box upgrades. They've since stop trying to push him in books, the movie is just catching up.
Personally I would have gone with either Vixen or Bumblebee. Gives Wonder Woman another woman on the team to talk too, and both have interesting powers.
Bee probably would have been raped with the bump to big leagues by meshing her carefree personality to dark and edgy.
If had to be black would have gone Mr. Terrfeic and just make him tech with Captain America feats. (Although that'd infringe on bats). If not black, go for Sideways.
Terrific doesn't really mesh well on the League since Batman does most of the shit he can do sans the T-Spheres, but more importantly his name is too silly for normies to take him seriously.
Disagree, I always thought Mr. Terrific was a cool name.
So ever black characters is a token?
No, bit a lot of people on Cinemaphile have issues with black characters in general. To them any black character who isn't a self loathing Uncle Tom or villain is a token
Mr. Terrifics cool but he excels off the league with his own team or by himself teaming up with other heroes. As a huge fan of the Terrifics id hate to see him relegated to three lines in the book computer guy
>more importantly his name is too silly for normies to take him seriously.
Mister Terrific isn't any more silly than Superman, Wonder Woman, Mister Fantastic, Mister Incredible, etc.
Superheroes have silly names in general, people only stop thinking they're silly because they get used to them, just think about "Batman" enough and you'll realize how fricking ridiculous it sounds.
Vixen is a good choice, I'd have gone with Black Lightning personally. He's one of DC's first black characters, if there must be a black founding leaguer, he deserves the distinction.
Ironically, putting Cyborg on the league meant leaving the titans without one of their most significant black characters. And it's not like DC ever does anything with Bumblebee.
I don't know Black Lightning just seems kind of ehh. Dude is a street level hero with generic lightning powers. Vixen to me seems more versatile. Bumblebee is just in Titan limbo and unfairly compared to Wasp
There's more to Black Lightning 's powers than generic electricity. The dark colored electricity he generates have been hinted to have unique powers, but writers never explain what that might be.
His youngest daughter has a more interesting power set, in theory she can become and generate infinite amounts of energy, not just electricity.
Cyborg is the token Black that allows Hal Jordan to be on the JL. Well now that Cyborg is poison in the movies and nobody really wanted it, they can push John Stewart as the token Black and killing Hal off in movies and tv.
Because Geoff Johns he saw cyborg as a token to shield Hal. Johns also fought against some GL movies, at some point WB wanted a Kyle as a rookie and John as the veteran in a buddy cop movie with Hal already gone parallax (i have no doubt that would had ended with Hal sacrificing himself final night style), but Johns sperged against it. Johns ironically became the biggest obstacle for flash and green lantern movies and pushed for cyborg a role that would to to Fisher, Johns being a Halgay ended up being a domino of bad ideas.
Fricking this. People like him are cancer for comics. Absolutely obsessed with their shitty fan fic that they cant stop inserting it in every chance they get.
The thought of China nipping Disney’s biggest acquisition in the bud, leaving a trail of useless characters who do nothing but eat up screentime is darkly hilarious to me.
I can never understand why Disney is the only company that does this and fail to appeal to China every time.
I'm not sure why Disney think China is against africans when China is trying to colonize it and will arrest anybody who go against that goal.
Actually, you have a point. I think the chinese can be pretty racist, but they respond positive to things like honesty and loyalty. If Finn had those character traits, I don't know if they'd care about him being black.
The only things they care for are saving face and racial supremacy

They need a black team member. John Stewart was probably off the table because the Green Lanterns were still reeling from the Ryan Reynolds movie in Warner's mind.
New 52 had just launched and they were going for synergy. But the project languished for so long that by the time Justice League came around New 52 was no longer a factor. Also they needed a black dude but didn’t want it to be Green Lantern.
He's a black Justice League member that's been in the league before as a Junior member (Superfriends) who doesn't have a silly stigma attached to him. So no Black Lightining and no Vixen. Easy to tie into a 4th world plot with his tech.
Also, at the time they didn't want to use Green Lantern on the team. Otherwise they would have chosen John Stewart. In comics world, Geoff Jones wanted Hal to be Green Lantern so they needed Cyborg there as well.
Also,Black Lighting and Vixen are considered more "hood" urban heroes.
That wasn't the actual Justice League but the Superfriends. It's like saying Dick Grayson was a League member while he was being Robin, just because he was there all the time in SF, anon.
Z-fighters is not a fricking thing you moron
Why would anyone call themselves a "Z-fighter"? What the frick does that mean in-universe?
DRAGON TEAM IS THE CORRECT NAME
He was a token then too, anon. They put him on Super Friends because he was black. Or did you forget that this is the same show that invented a superhero for every single race there is?
He's always been considered for the Justice League. And he was popular thanks to the show and yes it's because he's black. But overall he checked off enough boxes. When you create a team you want a variety of characters when it comes to features and powers.
Because the New 52, who chose him because reasons, one of them probably being that the New Teen Titans weren’t a thing. Also, I guess narratively having the Mother Box fuse to his mind was more interesting than Hal scanning it for 10 seconds and understanding everything.
Probably because he's young, black and is tied to a relatively successful property with a non comics reading younger demo they wanted to court.
Though they were idiots about it, especially in that they did NOTHING to make him appear like his cartoon version.
Y'all used to be a redneck southern thing but now it's being picked up by Twitterati who see black culture as something to emulate because it's more "genuine" or something
Most of us Southerners realize y'all is trashy slange we drop when typing in real English. Only freakish urbanites trying to sound salt of the Earth type that shit out. They probably also use folk in a textual conversation like some sort of intellectual parody of a slack jawed sister fricker, and call it vernacular.
It makes me wish Sherman would rise from the grave to burn their transplant Atlanta one more time.
>Being a member of the teen titans is literally what the public knows him for >I know let’s put him on the justice leauge
You can clearly see why people dislike it, why do you feint ignorance.
Geoff Johns WILL NOT stop pushing Cyborg, no matter how much nobody wants him. He makes no sense in the Justice League, because Batman is already their tech guy, but there he is.
>>Poor's man Ironman, the mech guy.
dude cota, diversity points.
But Fisher is a cringe homosexual, can't act, his arc is shitty daddy issues (used just to push the story using the motherbox) and, unlike ironman, nobody wants to be a "black hero with no dick and full of cybernetic alien shit"... Only Snyder liked this cringe combo.
When the writer is Geoff Johns ? Yes, cyborg in his JL was just the bus driver and did nothing for 50 issues, he literally made him a founding member, got rid of the longest running justice leaguer (Martian manhunter) but had no plan, no ideas for his new member. To out it in simpler terms: Lex Luthor got more lines and more spotlight as a leaguer in 14 issues than cyborg in 50, that's how tokenizing cyborg in the league was. This is something both /misc/ and reddit can agree, cyborg was just there because he was black and Johns wanted a black guy because in his mind he wouldn't be forced to replace Hal with John.
That didn't answer the question and are you implying that Simon is not African American? This thread is acting like Cyborg was added to protect Hal, but Cyborg addition didn't protect him at all.

Read the comics. That's garbage Geoff Johns introduced because he's scared of black characters overshadowing his fan fic Mary Sue's.
He did it with Stewart then did it with Cyborg.
Classic old school Cyborgs an energetic Jock who likes to give his friends shit. Not some metallic cry baby or autistic man child that screams along side his green partner.
The generation of writers after the 90s turned into raging character gays that cant write for shit
He was energetic. How the hell would you even be loud in a comicbook, half of the time all of the characters are screaming. And cyborg was mostly the too cool for school guy who mocked everything until he fell in love with that blonde teacher. Then he turned into a big bro for everyone.
Because these morons are a bunch of perpetually angry manchildren who hate black people because Cinemaphile told them too but aren't even aware of that because they have zero self-awareness of how utterly ridiculous they are.
Also, what people fail to understand that the 'classic' JL lineup that everyone knows was only a thing for like, the 60's and a bit of the 70's and after that, most of the classic roster left and they were basically just throwing in whoever. It was only until Morrison was on JLA that the classic JL lineup got restored, and it's largely been like that since. People are just ignorant morons.
That said, I do think they could've done better with Cyborg being on the league. He could be a great 'tech' guy that has different expertise than Batman, but I guess you'd need some imagination and creativity for that.
Seems like they want the Hawks to be together with the JSA cast, Timm's specific ships are probably not on anyone's lists. Having Barry would be better too. With that Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, MM, and GL would be a good starting lineup.
Because the New52 like the movies were poorly planned out. By the end of the first Avengers they already teased Thanos and the Infinity stones. DC panicked and wanted to do Darkseid right away rather than set him up through multiple movies because I guess Starro is too "silly" to be the villain that makes the JL form. Rewriting Cyborg's origin to tie-into the motherboxes is not the worst idea, but they could have left him as a Titan and just had it tease that the JL and the Titans would team up eventually to take down a bigger foe. But again, they just wanted to rush the whole thing.
>john stewart >cyborg >black lightning >mr. terrific >vixen >bumble b >static (always in limbo)
slim pickings but I agree with Vixen and Black Lightning suggestions. BL has slight connections to batman so that might be a turnoff, but Vixen is an all around good pick
Hell, put John AND Vixen on the team. Vixen's powers are unique enough and diverse enough that she's a good addition to the JL as a whole. And speaking of the DCAU, you can do some romance between her and John, simulate some of the fun JL had with John and Shayera.
Everybody shits on J'onn for his fire weakness but he IS one of the core elements that makes the JL work. In particular his telepathy and shapeshifting provide really important elements to the overall sleight of powers the team has. Not to mention his personality meshes well and bounces well off of the other characters.
He's a good "glue guy." The JL is better with him than without him, as far as storytelling and character dynamics go.
Needed a Black on the team for the diversity quota.
They could just blackwash a better character. It hasn't stopped anyone before
He's black.
This all started back in 2011 around New 52, the big relaunch to gather new readers.

Superheroes have silly names in general, people only stop thinking they're silly because they get used to them, just think about "Batman" enough and you'll realize how fricking ridiculous it sounds.

I don't know Black Lightning just seems kind of ehh. Dude is a street level hero with generic lightning powers. Vixen to me seems more versatile. Bumblebee is just in Titan limbo and unfairly compared to Wasp
He's great but lightning is a power that can be duplicated by the Flash, Wonder Woman's gauntlets, a bat-gadget etc.
Vixen is hot and the best choice.
There's more to Black Lightning 's powers than generic electricity. The dark colored electricity he generates have been hinted to have unique powers, but writers never explain what that might be.
His youngest daughter has a more interesting power set, in theory she can become and generate infinite amounts of energy, not just electricity.
Black Lightning was a Leaguer for a bit in the late 2000s
He's been on the roster since the 90s. He goes back to pre crisis but he declined at that time
Cyborg is the token Black that allows Hal Jordan to be on the JL. Well now that Cyborg is poison in the movies and nobody really wanted it, they can push John Stewart as the token Black and killing Hal off in movies and tv.
Same reason they made John Stewart Green Lantern in the Justice League cartoon: they wanted a Black.
So why not use John in this one since he would be far better and get that nostalgia points with fans.
Maybe they mistook the Teen Titan's Cyborg's popularity with Cyborg's popularity?
Probably because the Green Lantern movie was shit and bombed.
Geoff Johns
Because Geoff Johns he saw cyborg as a token to shield Hal. Johns also fought against some GL movies, at some point WB wanted a Kyle as a rookie and John as the veteran in a buddy cop movie with Hal already gone parallax (i have no doubt that would had ended with Hal sacrificing himself final night style), but Johns sperged against it. Johns ironically became the biggest obstacle for flash and green lantern movies and pushed for cyborg a role that would to to Fisher, Johns being a Halgay ended up being a domino of bad ideas.
Geoff Johns is probably the best example of what happens when you let a moronic fanboy be put in charge of the properties they're autistic about.
Fricking this. People like him are cancer for comics. Absolutely obsessed with their shitty fan fic that they cant stop inserting it in every chance they get.
Cause John is generally a boring character that doesn’t sell comics
Comic sales don't matter when courting the popcorn eating masses. Justice League cartoon nostalgia would be better to use.
His mini Lost Army did great till Didio and Geoff Johns started plotting on killing him off.
Thorne started off alright on his run till he tried to ape Johns with the super saiyan green mode shit and pissing off Hal gays.
Now the books shit and the man babies are boycotting.
To the shows credit, he was a great character. Nowadays they add a black guy and do nothing with him, like Finn in Star Wars.
Theres a theory that he was supposed to be a love interest but China put the cabosh on that shit.
The thought of China nipping Disney’s biggest acquisition in the bud, leaving a trail of useless characters who do nothing but eat up screentime is darkly hilarious to me.
He should have been a Jedi, for that matter. A stormtrooper becoming a Jedi is a really cool idea and we genuinely have never seen it in Star Wars.
But no, he had to be shoved aside to make way for Kathleen Kennedy's self-insert.
I can never understand why Disney is the only company that does this and fail to appeal to China every time.
I'm not sure why Disney think China is against africans when China is trying to colonize it and will arrest anybody who go against that goal.
Actually, you have a point. I think the chinese can be pretty racist, but they respond positive to things like honesty and loyalty. If Finn had those character traits, I don't know if they'd care about him being black.

DC is likely the king of miscasts.
u cant have motherbox story line without him, its fricking obvious
Because people remember him better as a Titan, and making him a founding leaguer meant erasing that history.
He's a black Justice League member that's been in the league before as a Junior member (Superfriends) who doesn't have a silly stigma attached to him. So no Black Lightining and no Vixen. Easy to tie into a 4th world plot with his tech.

It's like saying that in DragonBall that z-fighters and z-warriors are completely different team.

He was energetic. How the hell would you even be loud in a comicbook, half of the time all of the characters are screaming. And cyborg was mostly the too cool for school guy who mocked everything until he fell in love with that blonde teacher. Then he turned into a big bro for everyone.
