May 28, 20241 yr comment_67068 The Butterfly is the first black female superhero in usa comics. I can't verify it explicitly, the usa comic world is large. She came out in august 1971, so she is older than Nubia of wonder woman (1973) or Monica Rambeau of captain marvel (1982) or Bumblebee of teen titans(1976) Storm of the Xmen (1975). But if any of you know an older black female superhero. I do know some black artist made comic books in the 1960s 1950s but I don't know them well enough. A fellow Black artist made a still of her in his own way. https://www.deviantart.com/breezykiid94/art/Butterfly-suit1-Vs-Midwife0-1057089142 referral https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Butterfly Do you want to read a story with her in it? HEr background, she was in one issue of a comic Outfitted with a jetpack for flying and a costume laden with incredibly bright strobe lights to blind her enemies, Marian Michaels is a Las Vegas cabaret singer by night and the crime-fighting Butterfly by even later night. In her first appearance, she investigates the Claw, a group of cat costume-wearing heroin dealers who are using their profits to build a fascist army out in the desert. In her second, she was seen battling the Brothers of the Crimson Cross, a fictitious white supremacist group that the issue refers to as “a gathering of sick, distorted minds such as this country has not witnessed since the Ku Klux Klan‘s rule of terror held the South in its deadly grip.” She often worked with Hell-Rider and Julie Storm.
