10 Absurd Comic Book Characters Who Will Never Get A Film

10. The Black Bomber

Once upon a time in the 1970s, when characters at DC Comics were as white as the driven snow, a decision was made to start introducing diversity into their lineup of superheroes. In this context, that meant one thing: they needed a black superhero, and they needed him right away. Hence the concept of the Black Bomber was born.

Now would probably be a good time to sit down, if you aren't already.

The Black Bomber was a white supremacist who, during moments of stress, would turn into a black superhero. Basically (and this is not made up) he would say the n-word to transform into his alter ego, and neither identity was aware of the other. Also, to make matters worse, the character got this superpower after being exposed to an Agent Orange type gas that would allow soldiers in Vietnam to better blend into the jungle.

If you're experiencing a full body cringe at the moment, that is the correct reaction. Luckily for humanity, the Black Bomber never saw the light of day, and DC decided to make Black Lightning, a far more worthy candidate, its first black superhero.
