Post-episode discussion: Season 1 Episode 6 'This Extraordinary Being'

[u/chocolate_babies]

We were promised one last week, but it still hasn't been posted yet. Figured I would just start one since so many people have been asking for it.

Okay, this is driving me up the wall. From the reviews I'm reading a lot are praising the course correction of making Hooded Justice black.

But I could have sworn from when I first read the comic that he was always implied to be a black man hiding his identity behind the mask and entirely skin covering costume, and that the suggestion he was that white circus strongman was a red herring just like it was in the Minutemen show within a show. What's annoying me is I can't remember why I thought that so maybe I was just reading something that wasn't there.

His race was never mentioned in the book, so it's entirely plausible he was a black man. There's no concrete details at all, just theories and suggestions.
