Author Topic: So basically Tyroc is clearly a reject from the international Superfriends Shadow Kid Talokian Super-Hunk posted                        He fits all the criteria of such Superfriend stalwarts as El Dorado, Samurai, Apache Chief and Black Vulcan. Seriously: Non-white - check! Poorly defined do anything super powers - check! Makes very few actual appearance, or ever does anything important - check! The only thing the guy's missing is a silly name alluding to his ethnicity Was there some sort of meeting over at hanna-babara where it was decided that Tyroc wasn't funky enough? Was he deemed to be not enough of a black stereotype? An inquiring mind wants to know!

They could have just called him Black Devil! That probably would have made Paul Levitz like the character. -------------------- Visit the FULL FRONTAL FANDANGO & laugh along with Lash at http://lashlaugh.wordpress.com/ Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Tamper Lad With the Scarlett Faction posted                        Black Devil would have failed the front-page test even back in the 1970s From: Canada | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Eryk Davis Ester Created from the Cosmic Legends of the Universe! posted                       How about "Black Lungs"?

From: Chillin' on Earth baby | Registered: Aug 2005  |  IP: Logged |  legionadventureman Legionnaire posted                        Isn't it weird that the only other female character (not counting Zayna of the Wonder Twins) in Super Friends was Hawkgirl? It would have been nice to see (if only in a cameo) Supergirl, Black Canary, Zatanna or some other female character. Being the only female in a group of otherwise diverse males must have accounted for some major sexual tension. Of course, you can't have heroes kissing in cartoons...what would the stock-holders say?

And while the genius Tamper Lad was joking evocating Tyrone...Tyroc comes from Tyr(as I know you guys know!!) He rocks. The reason??? Ferget comics man! I was a fan of this guy before I read him in the comics. He makes a great toy!!!!!! heh. Tyroc and the Mantis (toys) rocked!

But Rima the Bird Girl was. -------------------- Legion Abstract From: Ontario | Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged |  legionadventureman Legionnaire posted                        Yeh, Rima was...but why? From: Adelaide, Australia | Registered: Jun 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Ultra Jorge Himself alone posted                        Geez i am an idiot. Tyroc...i thought was the villain Tyr. My bad guys. Legion lore sometimes gets jumbled in the brain. Yes totally a bad stereotype. I've read some of his old issues. Bad stuff. I loved him in v4 though especially as vice president and later president.
