The DC Universe’s First Black Superhero Returns in New Story

Warning! Contains a preview of "Black Paradise" from DC Power: A CelebrationAmazing Man, the earliest Black superhero in DC Comics continuity, finally makes his triumphant, white-supremacist-punching return to the DC Universe in DC Power: A Celebration. This new take on the character shows how a 1950s Black superhero dealt with the racism of his era and reinserts this importance piece of history into DC continuity. Will Everett, the Amazing Man, has the power to absorb the physical properties of any material he touches. As a member of the All-Star Squadron, Will is a World War II-era superhero drafted to fight Nazis. Will, along with the rest of the All-Star Squadron, has fallen into obscurity overtime, especially since the New 52 reboot in 2011 erased the presence of all superheroes prior to the 21st century.
