Actually Falcon is a Marvel hero.  He was Captan America "sidekick"
he pops up now and then.  Marvel also had a hero Rage, i'm not sure
what happened to him, i don't feel they really knew how to handle
him.  They also had Cage, who was "framed for a crime he didn't
commit" then expermented on and got 'strong' skin.  He had his own
series a little bit ago.  There is also Warmachine who was a friend
of Ironman, now uses one of Imans other armor.  There is one in a
group called New Warriors, i don't read that one, so don't know his
name, but he is a teenager i think.  Way long ago there was Gabe in
Sgt Fury.  In the DC universe there was a Green Latern, the series
was cancelled mainly because the story writing was really different
but it was a really good series while it lasted.  There is
Bloodwyn(sp?) who was/is with the JLI/A (it's been a FEW months
since i've read any comics sad to say).  In New Gods there were a
couple, one was "Death" so i don't know if he is really a hero:)
I know there are a few more but can't think of them right off, and
this is probably enough for now.  Just wanted to mention that i
agree there should be more too, and i think it's slowly happening.
There has been alot more African-Americans in comics, as just
'normal' people too.  Batman recently was/is love with one.
