The Story of How a White Supremacist Nearly Became DC Comics’ First Black Solo Superhero

There are a lot of bad superhero ideas out there.

Like, A LOT a lot.

Comic books have been around forever, which means every possible idea has eventually gotten pitched by somebody who was either sleep deprived, coked up, trapped in a deadline panic, or all three simultaneously. There are superheroes whose powers involve eating matter. There are superheroes whose entire deal is “bee themed.” There are villains who use condiments as weapons. At one point, Superman fought a telepathic gorilla because apparently no one in the room had the courage to say, “Maybe not.”

But even within that long and glorious history of nonsense, Black Bomber stands alone.

Inside “The Beast”: The President’s Indestructible Limo

presidential-limo

The presidential state car – also called The Beast and Cadillac One – is the President’s go-to vehicle for safe traveling.

Armor & Glass

It has five-inch-thick, multi-layer bullet-resistant glass and polycarbonate windows that don’t roll down, except the driver’s window which can crack open a few inches. If you’re going to install windows that can stop armor-piercing rounds, you don’t undermine that protection by rolling them down. The doors are several inches thick with bullet-resistant materials, and the body is lined with roughly five inches of armor composed of steel, aluminum, ceramic, and titanium. A seam of steel reinforces gaps at body panel joints and where the door meets the car, helping keep the cabin secure from bullets and other projectiles.

What Is the Inmate Pecking Order in Prison?

Life behind bars has its own laws, codes, and hierarchy — a social order as rigid and unforgiving as the steel bars themselves. When you cram hundreds of men into a confined space—sometimes so close that the toilet is only a few feet from your head—it’s inevitable that a system of power emerges. Prison isn’t just about serving time; it’s about surviving inside an ecosystem where respect, fear, and reputation are the currencies that matter most.

Pixar’s 22 Rules of Storytelling

Every Pixar movie feels like magic — but behind that magic is structure, discipline, and a deep understanding of what makes people care. Back in 2011, Pixar story artist Emma Coats shared a series of tweets that revealed the studio’s unwritten playbook: 22 rules of storytelling that shape everything from Toy Story to Inside Out.

They weren’t official company commandments — just lessons learned from years of trial, error, and emotional truth-telling. But those tweets quickly became legend, because they cracked open the secret of how Pixar makes us laugh, cry, and feel more human.

The Diary of Stalingrad: A German Soldier’s Journey into Hell

History sometimes leaves us with haunting echoes of individual voices—voices of ordinary people trapped in extraordinary circumstances. These voices, captured in personal diaries, letters, and memoirs, provide us with a window into the lived experience of historical events. When we think of Stalingrad, we often envision massive armies clashing on a battlefield of rubble and ash, a strategic turning point in World War II. But what often gets lost in the grand narrative are the individual soldiers who fought, suffered, and died on both sides of that brutal siege.

How Stalin Rewrote the Past with a Brushstroke

Imagine a world where reality itself bends to the whims of a single man’s paranoia and ambitions. Where the very fabric of history can be rewoven, torn apart, or stitched back together depending on the political winds. This wasn’t some dystopian fiction; this was Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union—a place where a photograph was never just a photograph, and where the lens of history was continually refocused to fit a singular, authoritarian narrative.

The Man Who Fought World War II for 28 Extra Years

The jungle sweltered, a thick canopy choking out the sun. Insects buzzed in a relentless symphony, punctuated by the occasional screech of unseen creatures. For 28 years, this had been Shoichi Yokoi’s world, a far cry from the rice paddies of his Japanese village. A soldier declared dead, he was a ghost haunting the verdant shadows of Guam, oblivious to the war’s end and the life that had moved on without him.
