#Icon #DC

[vincentbillings]

He and Static Shock not only need their own movies, but their own comics again!

[RaggedViking]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who would definitely watch a Icon movie.

[andrewgarrett]

How in the hell is Icon not more popular?! Somebody write this man a Rebirth series. He deserves it!

[SalamandersRCool]

Static is a Milestone character? That explains why he doesn't get the representation he deserves.

Icon has the potential to blow up if DC would start giving him more props

[snakelikeme]

dam they just siting there not being used

[th]

You all forgot to mention his job as a galactic peacekeeper before the crash, which is the reason he didn't really interfere with human relations, and why he became a judge.

[terryliliana]

i remember watching young justice and seeing him in one scene and i wondered "who this guy?"
i looked it up, decided to search his comics online, and man did i love them.

[StarStreamFlowArtist]

This character is so underrated, I read his entire rub a few years back and loved it, I wished he did more in young justice

[bdhjones]

ICON needs a movie of his own like Black Panther

[apolloforabetterfuture]

Barry Jenkins or Steve McQueen directing an Icon movie would go so hard. They've both directed movies about slavery that are historically accurate i.e depressing, it would be nice to see some Django style wish fulfillment in the DCU

[jeremyhayes]

Icon sounds like a cool hero. Always wanted to see him cut loose after hearing he could go toe to toe w Superman.

[bigdawgfrm]

HIM AND STATIC NEED THERE OWN MOVIES!!!! Shit I wouldn’t mind they’re own universe 🙌🏽

[zackhawkins]

*Michael jai white as ICON*
I Wish Dwayne McCduffie was still alive he would have saved DC and we would have gotten the Static shock movie.
*I can dream*

[darth_dacheus]

I was literally watching his static video yesterday and thought, when's he gonna do Icon? Today's my lucky day I guess. Thanks Arris!

[TeranIcer]

Finally, an Icon acknowledgement--shout out to the black Superman 👍

[ezedikeohamadike]

When McDuffie the heart and soul of Milestone died. So did Icon Static and Hardware.
They were brilliant comics.

[levirichardosn]

it’s insane i haven’t heard about this character until now. thank you for giving this character the love he deserves

[fleetadmiralsakazuki]

Definitely watch young justice on Netflix we need a season 3 the show is amazing

[dvi-d]

Icon definitely doesn't get anywhere near as much spotlight as he should but I understand.
