Nubia is a fictional character, a comic book superheroine published by DC Comics. The original Nubia was created by Robert Kanigher and Don Heck, she debuted in Wonder Woman (vol. 1) #204, (January 1973). The modern character named Nu'Bia was created by Doselle Young and Brian Denham, she debuted in Wonder Woman Annual (vol. 2) #8 (1999).
Nubia Formed from clay as a twin to Diana (Wonder Woman), the dark skinned Nubia was kidnapped by Mars, who raised her, controlling her mind so that she would help him bring down the Amazons.
Nu'Bia Sometime after Crisis a new version of Nubia, now called Nu'Bia, was introduced. When Nu'Bia first meets Diana, she mistakenly calls Diana by the name of her former queen " Antiope". Nu'Bia is only slightly surprised to discover that Diana is Antiope's niece. The woman identifies herself to Diana as Nu'Bia and says that she was a Themyscirian Amazon who won the "Tournament of Grace and Wonder" just as Diana previously had, and become the Amazons' first champion.
Other versions Earth-23 Renee Montoya ventures forth with Earth-5's Captain Marvel in an attempt to recruit each universe's equivalent of Superman to join Nix Uotan's Army of Heaven on Earth-Zero (the primary DC Earth). The beginning of the issue illustrates their visit to a universe where a black Superman is apparently the President of the United States. This Superman confers with a black Wonder Woman, whom he refers to as Nubia. This Nubia is apparently one of the "Wonder Women of Amazonia", and she uses a relic called the Wonder Horn to summon Renee and the others into her world.
This version of Nubia later reappears as a member of her Earth's Justice League, with her Earth officially revealed as Earth-23 in the new Multiverse.

In-story information Species: Human Place of origin: Nigeria, Earth Abilities: Superhuman strength, Flight Powerman (comics)
Series publication information Schedule: Biweekly Format: Ongoing series Genre : Superhero Publication date: 1975 – 1977
Main character(s) Powerman (aka Powerbolt)
Creative team Writer(s): Don Avenall and Norman Worker Artist(s): Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland
Powerman is a British comic book series that was initially distributed in Nigeria in the mid-1970s. Powerman was written by Don Avenall (aka Donne Avenell) and Norman Worker, and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland. Rendered in a simple style reminiscent of the Golden Age Captain Marvel, the series starred a superhero named Powerman. When the comics were re-published in the United Kingdom the character's name became Powerbolt.
The Powerman comics also feature a backup series called Jango, about a black sheriff.
Historically, comics in Nigeria were imported and had white protagonists. An executive from Pikin, a Nigerian advertising agency, approached English art agency Bardon Press Features to discuss the idea of creating a series with a black superhero that would be used to promote literacy in Nigeria.
Aspiring comic book artists Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland were connected to Bardon Press Features and were tapped for the job. When Gibbons asked why African creators did not work on the strips, he was told that African artists would likely emerge once comics become popular in Africa.
With comics purportedly being new to Nigeria, Bolland recalls this work being created specifically to be "really simple; six panels on a page and [all] the panels had to be numbered". Gibbons also recalls there was difficulty adjusting to writing for a Nigerian culture; for instance, he was told that a fat stomach indicated "success and power" instead of "gluttony or greed" and that having Powerman "always get off with the girls" was not considered sexist.
Gibbons designed the character and the series logo. Gibbons and Bolland were to draw alternate issues, though they worked closely together. Together, they produced one 14-page issue per month, which was published every fortnight. Bolland's first issue was Powerman #2, and he recalls that "soon Dave had drawn his entire story and I had produced just a few pages". This knowledge — "that Dave could produce a page a day... and that I was going to have to do the same" — was a shock, but proved to be "the very best kind of training ground" Ultimately, Bolland "drew around 300 pages of that very straightforward, simple-to-follow work, and I guess the storytelling flowed naturally from that". Even so, he "was always struggling to get the last eight or ten pages finished" and was occasionally helped by friends, including Gibbons and future-2000 AD and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen artist Kevin O'Neill.
By 1977 Powerman dropped to a monthly schedule.
Without the permission of the original publishers, the comic was reprinted in South Africa. The Comics Journal accused the creators of Powerman of supporting Apartheid, since the characters were mostly black.
In 1988, the British publisher Acme Press reprinted the series to capitalize on the popularity of the artists, both of whose careers had since taken off. Power Comics was a four-issue limited series of 32 pages each. Powerman's name was changed to "Powerbolt" to avoid confusion with the character Luke Cage (also called "Power Man"), published by Marvel Comics. Power Comics was distributed in the U.S. by Eclipse Comics.
Fictional character history: Powerman protects Nigeria from dinosaurs, robots, and other threats. One white character, a dishonest blond property developer, is named Boss Blitzer. Blitzer faces defeat at the hands of Powerman.
Powers and abilities: Powerman has superhuman strength and can fly. His only apparent weakness is snakebite.

Who Is the Sentry? Steven Yeun's Rumored Thunderbolts Role, Explained
quote:
Rumors suggest Steven Yeun's role in Marvel's Thunderbolts will be the Sentry, a relatively recent hero whose arrival often portends catastrophe. One of the biggest projects in the works for Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Thunderbolts, a loose adaptation of the comic series of the same name, which will see a handful of the MCU's previous villains team up under the leadership of unscrupulous CIA director Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Details of the story are being kept under wraps thus far, but it has been confirmed that Harrison Ford will take over the role of Thaddeus Ross from the late William Hurt, while Ayo Edebiri and Steven Yeun have been cast in unknown but significant roles.
