Amen! Been doing some research on them and they really need more spotlight. The people who constantly talk about wanting representation completely ignore these already established characters.
+GodSpeedKnight7 I say that all the time. Icon is a character with so much potential. He's got a unique backstory, a unique set of powers, and he's a power house characters like him are always going overlooked. Yet people will hop all over fuckin Zendaya playing Mary Jane? GTFOH.
Tissan Young Dude if Icon ever does get a movie then I would want Holocaust to be the main villain. The battle between them would be epic especially in the DCEU style.
GodSpeedKnight7 I apologize in advance for being long winded in response. A couple diffent statements here; Its okay, you can say black people. You dont have to generalize your statement. I promise we (black people) mostly won't go at you if you do. However, you must remember something, most black people have a different taste in what entertains them. However, more than that you need publication for anyone to be aware of anything. Most black people often don't like it when black superheroes are juxtaposed to black exploitation; insert Lule Cage catchphrase, "Sweet Christmas!" Most black people didn't speak like that in the 70's, even in "jive" talk. Yet, if you don't have money behind your publication, You're done! Period! You must remember it's not a case of most blacks not wanting more representation in comics, they simply didnt know who these people were in Milestone Comics during the 90's. Consider if you will, MC started in 1993 by 6 black comic book writers. In 1993, the Uncanny X-Men dominated the comic and television cartoon series world. There is no denying this at all! You lived for Fleer silver packaged comic trading cards in the 1990's. In fact, Fleer started as a baseball card trading company, and before folding, Marvel single handedly purchased them and held them afloat for another 10 years. You need money behind you to do that in any world. It takes time for a character to get over. Supes started in the 50's and didn't become white hot until the Golden age in the mid to late 80's. Black Panther was the absolute first black super hero form 1963. He didn't become white hot until the early 2000's. Batman became white hot thanks to Adam West. DC & Marvel had a team of staff writers. MC had 6. DC & Marvel aren't going to easily allow you to encroach without serious financial backing. Back stories can make or brake a character. I mean without DC we probably wouldn't be aware of Icon, Black lightning, or static shock. MC was pretty much done in 1996, so they had to do a deal with DC to get their characters out there. They simply didnt have the money and time put in that Marvel and DC had put in. World War 2 is what put Marvel and DC over the hill. They rolled a full war effort comic that popularized people like Supes, Batman, Wonder Woman etc. MC had nothing to piggy back from so their battle uphill was daunting. Plus, when you say black super hero in the 90's people weren't that open to it. So, it's not we don't want representation, many of us as black people are just starting to catch on. If you don't mass publish it, we simply don't know about it.
@@damotoneko1500 That’s comic books for ya! I’m pretty sure Starman did that in that movie and Martian Manhunter pretty much shape shifts into whatever he wants on the daily including kids so I guess that’s just the world of comic books and fantasy. I would rather have a different story that hasn’t been rehashed than have the same generic plot retold over and over again.
Yeah dc should do more with him, especially bc most people don't know about his character. They could have a lot of freedom to write some exciting and relevant stories
There's a film industry called Woke Nation Entertainment on UA-cam. They just finished an incredible Static Shock short film and they're doing Icon next. Here's a link to their channel: ua-cam.com/channels/E4IBpJYAFJv8m6gnf_uLtA.html
*Michael jai white as ICON* I Wish Dwayne McCduffie was still alive he would have saved DC and we would have gotten the Static shock movie. *I can dream*
Michael Jai White, while I like him, is not a great actor to play ICON on screen. I'd rather have Michael B Jordan ...he's attractive to ladies, haha godly body and has charisma. He works better
You all forgot to mention his job as a galactic peacekeeper before the crash, which is the reason he didn't really interfere with human relations, and why he became a judge.
@@wander1139 yeah same because I'm like : "the underground railroad ?" That's weak sauce with that type of power but now I get it. Because if I was ICON without that background, the world would be my oyster. I mean he was there so long ago. America and everything would have been different considering his galactic knowledge and propensity to peace.
i remember watching young justice and seeing him in one scene and i wondered "who this guy?" i looked it up, decided to search his comics online, and man did i love them.
i love how DC wont let their pride and joy superman lose to any of his equals i.e Manhunter, Captin Marvel (not shazam) Icon, captin atom, wonder woman, and fire storm
No, Marvel won the rights to title a comic "Captain Marvel". DC can still call the character himself Captain Marvel anytime they want. In fact, the Earth-5 version of the character that was introduced in Multiveristy is called Captain Marvel instead of Shazam.
true they just cant call him CM when they are promoting him like in games cards or comics and or their title covers but its so stupid the wizzards name is shazam we all know who he really is and thts what i call him in fact we could all call him CM if DC didnt get mad of how he was more popular than Sups lke i said hes their pride and joy
More Milestone PLEASE!!! I also really like Hardware and the characters who spun off from his series, Deathwish and Marissa Rahm. I am still very surprised that the internet has not been talking about Marissa Rahm. She is a transgender police officer who became a badass vigilante. Think Lady Cop but this time she's representation for transgender people!!!! Give me more Marissa Rahm. I want more Deathwish and Hardware but I REALLY want more Marissa Rahm awesomeness.
Milestone certainly needs more love. Deathwish is essentially "What if Punisher was a rape victim?" It's quite admirable what subjects they tackled in these comics.
People have come to support and understand the importance of minority heroes and heroines in today's society. Sadly there are still some great Milestone characters who need to make a comeback
Thanks for bringing attention to Icon. He's definitely been forgotten but can you also do some videos on Blue Marvel, Cloak & Dagger or Black Lighting. Other characters that need more attention as well.
Finally!! Oh my lord, finally. You have no idea how much this excites me. I literally searched UA-cam for this and didn't find one. Finally Icon gets recognition. Thank you!
Milestone going with DC was a not so bright move on their part. They should've stayed independent and published their own stories without the hold up from DC or DC picking which Milestone character they want to put out there at whatever time they feel like it. DC already has a Superman, why would they get excited about another one especially when it's a portrayal of an extremely strong aborigines, copper colored male with no weaknesses unlike their favorite son Superman. Imagine if Icon or hardware etc. were given the push and backing like Superman or Batman.. I believe the majority of urban kids would have a superman they can relate to and look up to. We need more people of our culture creating and telling these storylines and giving our youth more hope and motivation to do great things with their lives.
DC has a MAJOR history of absorbing characters from their former comic book competitors; Wonder Woman, Shazam etc. They bought the entire Wildstorm brand years ago and in my opinion havent done much with the characters.
Thank you for this video, Arris!!! At home, I have entire long box dedicated to Milestone Comics and ICON comics take up most of it! I hope Milestone Media 2.0. brings him back! Fun Fact: Icon is a member of The Cooperative, which is a federation of alien planets that rival the Green Lantern Corp.
This is a character that should get a movie not a dark skinned Superman. Icon has been collecting dust for years now. I’d watch a movie of him if he came out.
I'm glad you did this video! Icon has been my favorite DC character for the longest and recently (2 years ago) I found out he was originally from Milestone
I am a noob subscriber and I love the fact that you did icon from Milestone. Have you ever or do you plan on doing any other characters from Milestone like Hardware where the blood syndicate?
It's about time..!! Icon is one of the most versatile, powerful, in depth characters. Similar to Blue Marvel of Marvel universe. I don't understand why DC will not utilise this character to further the Dickota-verse. Marvel makes as much use of a their characters.That's why they are so big right now. DC needs to wake up and get their act together.
I live in Orlando where Full Sail is located. I took a tour of the campus last week as part of a team building retreat at work. (I work for the local public school district). The campus is beautiful and their technology is state of the art!
It would be very nice to see him appear more often, and as a big player role. Too many powerful and awesome characters are sidelined to make The Trinity of DC look good. Blue Marvel is also epic
+Deebo Molina They moved Static to New York, changed his character alot, and the stories were pretty messy and undocused. The new 52 run changed writers a few times as well and that got ugly behind the scenes.
Icon Is Definitely One Of My Favorite Characters , Bro He's Really An Inspiration , DC Has To Give Icon His Own Movie , It's Only Right Especially With Him Being Black & Giving His Background Fr ⭕
I tune in every week to hear this man speak the good word. The good word of any and all things comic books! Ive spent a good portion of my life reading comic books and I still learn new things every single day. A good portion is thanks to this amazing channel and all the awesome videos it pumps out every week! Thank you for all these great things you give us and keep up the good work!
Warner Brothers Studios has access to Icon and multiple other Milestone characters, and their best idea to show more diversity in their movies is to make Clark Kent black. They took stupid decisions to a whole new level.
Really cool backstory. Mix of Highlander and Superman. They should modify his powers a bit though so that is not just another Superman. And dont forget the dynamic that he's trying to fix his ship and one day leave.
REB3L108 why cant there be 2 black super hero, more the merrier and we all know who justest league will face in the end. There still time to fix every wrong thing DC did with justest league project.
Static. Static Shock is the name of the Cartoon and the short lived comic. Calling him Static Shock is like calling Batman "Detective Comics". Sorry, pet peeve of mine. Big Static fan.
Adam S I know, I agree. I grew up thinking Captain Marvel's name was SHAZAM. (Which it no is for just that reason.) But if you spent a decade calling him Static and then suddenly people started calling him Static Shock... it just becomes a peeve.
Very awesome, I just did a video on the DC comics "Other" supermen, and Icon was one of my top 7. I have to say if there was one character who needs more attention...well that would be booster gold, but up close to that is Icon. It's easy to write him off as 'black superman' but there is a lot more there, everyone needs to look into this character more.
Thank you for covering Icon. I use to collect Milestone comics back in the day, Icon was one of my comics. Please cover the rest of Milestone characters.
Thank you for this video it was very informative the issue # 27 mile stone event was crazy because flash outran his shadow or that happened in sanctuary I forget 😂I deff want a icon movie
He and Static Shock not only need their own movies, but their own comics again!
*Cough cough* Static Issue #1

Nerp, I'd totally watch
Yes, be so cool to see. Especially if they keep his history.
How in the hell is Icon not more popular?! Somebody write this man a Rebirth series. He deserves it!
But the origin is stereotypical AF 🤣 maybe that's y lol

*Dude, this guy needs a movie.*
i would pay for it
HELL YEAH HE DOES
could have a montage of the years going by
A series like Luke Cage

Which it'll never get
Amen! Been doing some research on them and they really need more spotlight. The people who constantly talk about wanting representation completely ignore these already established characters.

I dunno, i would change 1 thing. Have him be a baby at the start, not a grown alien turned into a baby.

his old.
And Jaden smith as static shock
Icon has the potential to blow up if DC would start giving him more props
I'm sure people would love it, given the current circumstances
You all forgot to mention his job as a galactic peacekeeper before the crash, which is the reason he didn't really interfere with human relations, and why he became a judge.
that's an important thing to mention I was kind of wondering why he didn't do anything to directly end slavery with his powers
@@wander1139 yeah same because I'm like : "the underground railroad ?"
That's weak sauce with that type of power but now I get it. Because if I was ICON without that background, the world would be my oyster. I mean he was there so long ago. America and everything would have been different considering his galactic knowledge and propensity to peace.
do history of the blue beetle
I second that suggestion.
I third that
Definitely.
Which one?
I think it be awesome if there is still good a history of Ted cord blue beetle he's my favorite
This character is so underrated, I read his entire rub a few years back and loved it, I wished he did more in young justice
i remember watching young justice and seeing him in one scene and i wondered "who this guy?"
i looked it up, decided to search his comics online, and man did i love them.
Finally, an Icon acknowledgement--shout out to the black Superman 👍
Static is a Milestone character? That explains why he doesn't get the representation he deserves.
HIM AND STATIC NEED THERE OWN MOVIES!!!! Shit I wouldn’t mind they’re own universe 🙌🏽
Icon sounds like a cool hero. Always wanted to see him cut loose after hearing he could go toe to toe w Superman.
Definitely watch young justice on Netflix we need a season 3 the show is amazing

pls season 3
its overrated
*+BigBad Braxien (Imtheurinator)* you watch yourself boy. YJ is the 2nd best superhero show in the 2000s (behind teen titans, of course)

No
1. Justice league unlimited
2. Teen titans
3. Young justice
When McDuffie the heart and soul of Milestone died. So did Icon Static and Hardware.
They were brilliant comics.
I was literally watching his static video yesterday and thought, when's he gonna do Icon? Today's my lucky day I guess. Thanks Arris!
I enjoy reading about icon, and static shock
i love how DC wont let their pride and joy superman lose to any of his equals i.e Manhunter, Captin Marvel (not shazam) Icon, captin atom, wonder woman, and fire storm
it is actually shazam, marvel won the rights to the name so it's now officially shazam
ik tht but screw tht he will always be the true and best captin marvel
p.s screw the majority of the new 52
No, Marvel won the rights to title a comic "Captain Marvel". DC can still call the character himself Captain Marvel anytime they want. In fact, the Earth-5 version of the character that was introduced in Multiveristy is called Captain Marvel instead of Shazam.

I know right, and to me because of that superman is becoming more boring each year
I wonder who would win if Icon and Blue Marvel fought.
Good battle
Which blue beetle? Icon
+Revenge of the Nerd He said Blue Marvel...
Blue Marvel imo.
I don't know but Comics fans would lose.
Blue Marvel is just a big ripoff of Icon in my opinion.
DCEU definitely needs to make an Icon movie. I want Rocket in there too! (And don't even get me started on Static!!)
@KJ Beast dceu getting soft reboot
I remember this character from Young Justice
it’s insane i haven’t heard about this character until now. thank you for giving this character the love he deserves

Icon definitely doesn't get anywhere near as much spotlight as he should but I understand.
Milestone was great. loved Xombi myself. Such a weird but compelling story.
Icon is definitely powerful 🙂🙂
With the new series coming up I'd love to see a "History of The Runaways". Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work.

Icon 💪🏾✊🏾

Icon needs to make a movie and remake his comic books.
After watching so many variant videos on DC characters, you realize how unspecial Superman is
Milestone going with DC was a not so bright move on their part. They should've stayed independent and published their own stories without the hold up from DC or DC picking which Milestone character they want to put out there at whatever time they feel like it. DC already has a Superman, why would they get excited about another one especially when it's a portrayal of an extremely strong aborigines, copper colored male with no weaknesses unlike their favorite son Superman. Imagine if Icon or hardware etc. were given the push and backing like Superman or Batman.. I believe the majority of urban kids would have a superman they can relate to and look up to. We need more people of our culture creating and telling these storylines and giving our youth more hope and motivation to do great things with their lives.
DC has a MAJOR history of absorbing characters from their former comic book competitors; Wonder Woman, Shazam etc. They bought the entire Wildstorm brand years ago and in my opinion havent done much with the characters.
Thank you for this video, Arris!!!
At home, I have entire long box dedicated to Milestone Comics and ICON comics take up most of it! I hope Milestone Media 2.0. brings him back!
Fun Fact: Icon is a member of The Cooperative, which is a federation of alien planets that rival the Green Lantern Corp.

It's about time..!!
Icon is one of the most versatile, powerful, in depth characters. Similar to Blue Marvel of Marvel universe. I don't understand why DC will not utilise this character to further the Dickota-verse.
Marvel makes as much use of a their characters.That's why they are so big right now.
DC needs to wake up and get their act together.
Because dc are so stupid!
I'd say Icon is by far my all time favorite Ethnic superhero. If I went to work for DC id want to begin writing icon and other milestone heroes.
Rocket is the SHIT okay and this series needs to come back.
Thank You Variant!! ICON Is A GOD!! I Wait To Read More About Him.
I live in Orlando where Full Sail is located. I took a tour of the campus last week as part of a team building retreat at work. (I work for the local public school district). The campus is beautiful and their technology is state of the art!
Characters like Icon and Blue marvel are slept on soo much its disgusting, I think they would both give superman a run for his money
It would be very nice to see him appear more often, and as a big player role. Too many powerful and awesome characters are sidelined to make The Trinity of DC look good.
Blue Marvel is also epic
bringing back ICON!! I wish make a movie in DCEU? or TV series?
Wow. Rocket was just like. "'You should do this" "....Okay"

How about instead making A Black Superman We make an Icon Movie???
I will buy a ticket for that.
Seriously
There is a black Superman now so if they made a black Superman it would still make sense
This is a weird comment

hears a crazy thought how about letting Icon join the dc Cinematic Universe as a part of Justice League member.
It should be Icon instead of Cyborg.
DC don't want anyone ahead of supes

This is where DC could shine... Icon would be a great add on to the DCEU
Thanks for taking me back. I own Icon #1. As well as Static and Blood Syndicate
I want an Icon movie.
never heard of this guy but he is my favorite now!
he way better then superman
Hmm....That's Debatable.
Yooka na icon a black superman without any weaknesses and had energy projection powers and he been on earth longer
Superman is legendary, but for me he’s played out.
only ever heard of him in young justice but happy i watched this i appreciate his character and existence much more now
If they ever make a movie Icon by Jaden Smith needs to be the theme song
I was thinking that same thing
RIP to Mark D. Bright, the comic book artist who drew Icon.
damn this is really interesting origin
Rest in piece Mr. McDuffy, here's hoping they'll publish a few collected editions of milestone series.
do static shock
Static. Static Shock is the name of the Cartoon and the short lived comic. Calling him Static Shock is like calling Batman "Detective Comics".
Sorry, pet peeve of mine. Big Static fan.
+JazGalaxy a lot of things do call him Static Shock though. And a lot of people only know Static from the show, its an easy mistake to make

Most def...
Exactly and stop with the blackwashing thing on white comic characters.
Wrestling Anime 4life
But White People can white wash every other culture....

I love Icon. Going to do a cosplay as him soon.
Then why dafuq that WB doesn't use this character? he is frickin Dope, why use Kal-El as black superman? god this company stupid af.
PERIOD!!!
DC has proven throughout the eyears that they do not respect Milestone and Wildstorm characters, much.
That's what I was thinking. Nobody likes their heroes being race swapped for clout. They could easily just give Icon more attention.
Thank you for covering Icon. I use to collect Milestone comics back in the day, Icon was one of my comics. Please cover the rest of Milestone characters.
We need him in DCEU
Yea instead of val zod
Thank you Arris! I've been a fan of Icon for a while now, and barely anyone knew who he was ! So thanks!!
SOUNDS LIKE A PROTEST NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO BRING IN LEGIT AFRO CHARACTERS NOT REVAMPED ONES
i'd like to see Hardware again.
There are so many Milestone characters I'd love to see again. Static and Hardware, definitely. The entire Shadow Cabinet. Xombie.
Thank you for this video it was very informative the issue # 27 mile stone event was crazy because flash outran his shadow or that happened in sanctuary I forget 😂I deff want a icon movie
Do history of Pokemon it is trending and you will draw a huge audience
History of the court of owls , the hellfire club , poison ivy and black cat!
Great video
3 minutes in and I think this would be a great movie/TV show.
I only saw him in the young justice TV show
Do a video about top 10 comic book covers of all time............
