Controversy arises regarding the
new Iron Man. While the onscreen Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. gives a stamp of approval on the hero being incarnated as a
black woman in the upcoming comic book, opinion is divided across the internet.
"Get ready for a new generation of Marvel BAMF...," the actor endorses Riri Williams as Tony Stark's successor in "Invincible Iron Man" written by Brian Michael Bendis. Many fans, however, have issues with Bendis writing the new comic book.
They wish Marvel hired a black woman, instead of a white man, to write the story. "You aren't giving these characters their OWN identities. '
Black Female Iron Man' sounds like good publicity. But only good publicity," one voices their frustration.
"You can't call these diverse stories without diverse voices," another
points out. One more fan says, "I'm happy for all of these
Black women leads in Marvel comics, but really wish the publisher would give Black women a chance to write them."
