Sweet Christmas! The Civil Rights Movement comes to comics
Black Avengers Assemble!

| Black Avengers mock cover by Jim Rugg. Colors by Thomas Morrison |
In the 70's the comics, like the rest of America, began to become desegregated. but it didn't all happen at once. It took some time before blacks were integrated into the mainstream superhero books and even got books of their own.

Wonder Man / Wonder Woman - Power man / Power Girl
In October of 1964 Stan Lee introduced the new character to the Avengers; Wonder Man!
In the story he was created by the Masters of Evil to destroy the Avengers. The Avengers took him in as a full member but at the end of the issue, rather than betray the Avengers trust in him, he decided to sacrifice his own life to save them.
Well it seems that DC didn't like the name of Wonder Man. It was too close to their own very popular Wonder Woman so DC threatened a law suit against Marvel.
