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-Midwi ..read more

Hey everybody,   Thanks to Troy for allowing me to join you. I'm Veronica G. Henry and I'm an author.   I've written 4 books so far, all listed in my bio.

I would be honored if you would give it a read.   Sequoia National Park, a black fire station chief, and an environment (and their champion) ready to fight ..read more
