Comic Power is where Black nerd culture thrives. From Storm’s legacy to Luke Cage retrospectives, hip-hop samples, Def Jam Vendetta, Black cosplay, manga, and throwback commercials — we celebrate comics, superheroes, sci-fi, and nostalgia from a bold Black perspective. I post about 21 to 28 post per week. Expect longform deep dives, Shorts, polls, curated pop culture flips.
We celebrate the legacy of Black superheroes like Storm, Black Panther, Blade, and Static Shock. If you’re tired of gatekeepers and “fake fans” nonsense, don’t worry — none of that lives here. This is for the people who love the medium and want to see themselves fully represented in it. This is a community for BLERDs, for day-ones and newcomers, where Black women are respected, voices are heard, and representation isn’t a trend — it’s the foundation. Tap in and stay powerful.

Who is TEMPO Of The X-Men Universe. She is a Black Female Mutant making her first appearance in comics in New Mutants #86 as a member of the Mutant Liberation Front. She has the mutant power of speeding herself up and slowing you down. She has a cool power set, but a poor design that is badly in need of an upgrade!
Hit the link to learn more about this character broken down in 60 seconds as I also mention which Black female actress should play her if the character was ever used in live action. (hint. i'm 100% sure you know her)

DOPE COMIC BOOK COVER FRIDAY CONTINUES. Wolverine #5 Sam Wilson Variant By David Yardin. What is stronger the adamantium in Wolverines claws or the Vibranium from Sam Wilson Captain America's shield? This cover is not only awesome in his use of action pose, but the coloring process makes you feel like you are being blinded by the impact of the light friction caused by the claws on the shield. Two thumbs up!

RETRO TECH FRIDAY: First-Generation iPod.
Manufacturer: Apple
First release: 2001
Original MSRP: $399
Adjusted to 2026 dollars: ≈ $725
When Apple dropped the first iPod in 2001, the flex wasn’t the look — it was the line: “1,000 songs in your pocket.” That sounded like sci-fi back then. Most of us were still juggling CD binders, burning discs, or rocking portable players that could handle… one album at a time. The iPod’s 5GB hard drive changed the rules overnight. No skipping discs, no swapping cases, just scroll, click, play. That click wheel made you feel like you were piloting something futuristic, and suddenly music wasn’t tied to plastic anymore — it was data. DJs, commuters, college kids, everybody saw the vision immediately. This was a straight-up gamechanger for how people carried music.
Now here’s the funny part in hindsight: the iPod was cool, but it did one job. No calls. No texts. No internet worth bragging about. Fast-forward to today and your smartphone streams literally any song ever made, makes calls, sends texts, shoots video, runs apps, and basically lives in your pocket as a mini supercomputer. The iPod didn’t lose because it failed — it lost because it won so hard it paved the road for what came next. Once phones absorbed music players, the standalone iPod era was over. But make no mistake: without the iPod proving that people wanted everything digital, portable, and instant, the modern smartphone doesn’t exist the way we know it.

If you missed Kendrick Lamar featuring Sza won RECORD OF THE YEAR for "Luther". It was on his 2024 GNX album but wasn't released as a single until early 2025 making it elgible for a grammy. The song went #1 in the summer of 2025 and stayed there for several weeks. It the type of duet we need that the community and the culture 8 to 80 could enjoy. As it talks about love, trust and loyalty. Something we need more of today!
It was kind of funny. That during the Grammy announcement by pop icon CHER she mistakenly said the grammy goes to LUTHER VANDROSS. She corrected herself and instead of getting drugged for it, she was given grace by the music industry and most of the internet. What it did was help Luther go viral again on Google Trends. RIP to this legend there is no one like him. Truly one of a kind.
The KDOT and SZA song samples Luthers IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE featuring Cheryl Lynn. The estate of Vandross is said to only allowed the song to be sampled if they did NOT curse on it. Mission accomplished. Congrats to Kdot and Sza and keeping th legacy of Luther front and Center.
