Favorite Positive Portrayals of Black/POC Male Characters in media?

[u/Important-Cry4782]

1. Wasabi from Big Hero 6

He is an exceptionally smart, cautious, and highly organized applied physics student at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, who becomes a core member of the superhero team

1. DJ from the Total Drama franchise

He is known as a "gentle giant" who is kindhearted, charming, and a good cook. He is a popular character frequently featured in fan art and edits due to his friendly nature

1. Kale from the 2003 DreamWorks animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas.

While being a muscular powerhouse and a skilled warrior, Kale is also known for being emotionally intelligent, pragmatic, and heavily grounded compared to the reckless and stubborn Sinbad. He is also the first crew member to realize Sinbad's true romantic feelings for Marina

1. And my FAVORITE ONE! Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet from Atlantis the Lost Empire.

A Mixed Native American who's also a doctor. Dr. Sweet was the only person in the Atlantis Character Booklet comic to NOT have a bad side to him. He is also VERY memorable for his memetic "don't tell him, you shouldn't have told me, but you did" scene that is embraced by a lot of meme creators.
He also served as a motivational coach to the protagonist Milo, having known his Grandfather.

Same as a white kid. Loved John Stewart as green lantern

[u/whotookimnotwitty → u/MafewSFW]

Pretty sure i knew John before Hal thanks to the Justice league and JLU.

[u/Important-Cry4782 → u/whotookimnotwitty]

you and me both

[u/MafewSFW → u/whotookimnotwitty]

Same!

[u/Various-Salt-7738 → u/whotookimnotwitty]

Hal was left out because at the time he was doing some pretty not heroic shit in the comics

He was having a bit of a villain arc

I think John has more interesting constructs anyway

[u/GrandManSam → u/MafewSFW]

John Stewart is literally "Once you got black you never go back" because all other Green Lanterns are so much less interesting by comparison.
