Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randold, or Rand, isn't a Super. Well, technically, he is, but he is trying to hide that fact. He has the ability to control all energies, including, as he found out, other Superpowers. He found out at a young age that he could control his own Superpowers but also those of others. Which, while amazing, would get him into a heap of trouble with the government. In the way of a jail cell or worse. But that left a significant responsibility on his shoulders. And Rand didn't want it. He never wanted to be a Super. He just wanted to live an everyday life, go to University and graduate and get a decent job in Business somewhere. Not save the world. Supers have been around for over twenty years now. Though admittedly, the first Super to show up was a Supervillain. But, a week later, a Superhero showed up to take down that Supervillain. Ever since then, the world has changed. It wasn't just the people that changed, but even animals. They somehow mutated into monsters. Even small things like rabbits had mutated and were considered a level-two threat. An average human was a level-one. A Super? Anywhere from level-three to the highest levels of Titan and Dragon threat levels. Now, all of humanity lived in City-States. Rand lives in one of the larger cities on the east coast, that was named New San Diego. However, things changed one faithful day when he ended up saving what he thought was just a normal human girl. After that, his life changed forever. And he still wasn't sure if it was in a good way. He was still trying to hide the fact that he was one of the most powerful Supers in the world, and now there was a possibility that his secret might get out just because he saved one girl. Join Rand as he tries to control his powers and still keep hidden, not just from his new friends, but from other Supers.

Download or read book Super Black written by Adilifu Nama and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A welcome overview of black superheroes and Afrocentric treatments of black-white relations in US superhero comics since the 1960s.” –ImageTexT Journal Winner, American Book Award, Before Columbus Foundation Super Black places the appearance of black superheroes alongside broad and sweeping cultural trends in American politics and pop culture, which reveals how black superheroes are not disposable pop products, but rather a fascinating racial phenomenon through which futuristic expressions and fantastic visions of black racial identity and symbolic political meaning are presented. Adilifu Nama sees the value—and finds new avenues for exploring racial identity—in black superheroes who are often dismissed as sidekicks, imitators of established white heroes, or are accused of having no role outside of blaxploitation film contexts. Nama examines seminal black comic book superheroes such as Black Panther, Black Lightning, Storm, Luke Cage, Blade, the Falcon, Nubia, and others, some of whom also appear on the small and large screens, as well as how the imaginary black superhero has come to life in the image of President Barack Obama. Super Black explores how black superheroes are a powerful source of racial meaning, narrative, and imagination in American society that express a myriad of racial assumptions, political perspectives, and fantastic (re)imaginings of black identity. The book also demonstrates how these figures overtly represent or implicitly signify social discourse and accepted wisdom concerning notions of racial reciprocity, equality, forgiveness, and ultimately, racial justice. “A refreshingly nuanced approach . . . Nama complicates the black superhero by also seeing the ways that they put issues of post-colonialism, race, poverty, and identity struggles front and center.” –Rain Taxi
