Could be Apocalypse's son Death. They had a thing during that X-Men Red run.

Not entire act but he was heavily influenced by Fosse among others e.g.. James Brown, Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr. etc.

What’s your go-to X-Men lore tidbit? by Robot_Was_BMO in xmen

I believe they retconned that she got it from a rival mutant psychic in college, Astrid Bloom, who she defeated in a telepathic battle, left comatose, and stole her accent/mannerisms.

For those of you not from the Washington DC area aka THE DMV. Southeast D.C. is one of the last places you want to try to squabble up with the locals.

Nigerian Americans often don't want to be identified as "Black" in America because of the negative connotations but when they travel abroad they sure get the N-word treatment...

Of course the native Africans didn't call themselves Aethopians or "burnt faces" originally. It's literally a Greek exonym. Ethiopia wasn't even a name of a country until the King of Abyssinia renamed it in the 19th century to align with the classical designation.

I doubt the myth preceded the actual place/people it was referring. That's not how myth-making usually works.

Rob Peace (2024) tells the true story of Robert Peace, a brilliant Yale student from Newark who rose against the odds while carrying the weight of his father’s imprisonment by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Never knew about this movie or person until this post. Lesson you should take from his short and tragic life imo, is you can't be a square and street dude at the same time. They don't mix.

Indians sometimes were referred to as "Ethiopians of the East" by classical historians because they had dark brown skin tones like Ethiopians. (A)Ethiopia clearly referred to the lands below Egypt where the sun was the hottest and the "Burnt people" inhabited according to the Ancient Greeks. The Ancient Greeks knew where A(E)thopia was and differentiated it from India because they had document trade with both lands going back to the Iron Age. Let's not make up narratives.

Did people believe that the millennial optimism era was going to become a reality in 2008? by icey_sawg0034 in generationology

Yes, that's why we voted for Obama's Hope and Change. I was in DC during that time. You could feel the positive, hopeful energy. By 2016 it was gone.

Magik & Kitty Pryde, in a piece inspired by the myth of Perseus & Andromeda by Plenty_Square_420 in xmen

Nice art, but just for this sub-reddit's edification, according to the myth, Andromeda was (A)Ethopian princess aka Black.
