I'm not exposed to DC Comics so I'd like to know who their top 10 most popular black comics characters are.
This is also a way to celebrate the Black History Month, this month of February. I would appreciate posting your opinions. : )

I'd contend that Manta is in the running for top 3, especially if Static makes the cut.

4.cyborg
5.Mal duncan.
6.bumble bee (i think)
7.black manta and kaldur(if he is)

9.Vixen
10.Steel
I guess it's too early to conclude since there are only a few people who have posted their top 10. let's wait for more top 10 posts.
Well I'll go ahead with my top ten:
1. Black Manta
2. John Stewart (Green Lantern)
3. Cyborg
4. Black Lightning
5. Amanda Waller
6. Director Bones (Mister Bones) He has invisible skin, but is still an African-American
7. Steel (John Henry Irons)
8. Static
9. Lucius Fox
10. Papa Midnite

This list seems pretty spot on to me. And why were people posting Batwing? I'm pretty sure no non-reader knows who he is.
@jhazzroucher: You know you skipped two of the strongest ,both alien, Icon and Earth 23 Superman who doesn't have a weakness to green krptonite!

The first one I think of is John Stewart because of the JL series.
I feel like having Black Manta on any list is grasping at straws
1. I didn't know he was actually Black up until the said that Aqualad was his son and
2. Black Manta isn't the most popular anything

Manta is one of the most iconic villains in DC...
I'm gonna test myself to see if I can even name 10 off the top of my head.
1. Black Lightning
2. Thunder
3. Lightning
4. Static
5. Cyborg
5. John Stewart
6. Mister Terrific
7. Killer Croc (At least he was in Joker)
8. Catwoman (occasionally)
9. Jason Rusch
10. Batwing

says who?
@danhimself:
Well me, evidently. There is not an objective list or anything, but he's certainly one of DC's upper tier. Just because you aren't that aware of him doesn't change that.
@serpent222: upper tier? really? what has he done that puts him in the same class as Lex Luthor, Joker, Brainiac, or other well known DC villains?

He's not a world ender by any means, and couldn't ever cut it as a Superman villain or anything. But in terms of evil success and heinous actions, he certainly ranks.
For what he's done? He freaking killed Aquaman's baby. Not only is that one of the most disturbing things a villain has ever done, but he essentially succeeded in destroying his enemy's life.

while I do concede that is impressive and I had forgotten about that when I asked that question and it didn't help me prove my point at all lol but I've still got to say that Black Manta is not one of the top ten villains of the DC Universe....I wouldn't put him in the top 20....maybe the top 30
