This has potential, but I am disappointed that the enemy is defined by color only.
It’s economics that drive the division of various groups of people.
Color is just a nice all-encompassing blinder that makes this impossible for people to understand. LOL
It shouldn’t be the “white shadow” as the enemy, but “Richey Rich” fully grown into a heartless, cold, calculating plutocrat. Who detests any wealth created even INdirectly by physical labor or actual production. Instead his goal is to create wealth soley via speculation on hedge funds, futures markets Etc. In short various forms of legalized gambling. Which can dramatically increase one’s wealth without ever contributing to the production of anything or the performance of any filthy labor. :-D
The constant struggles of the heros would revolve around Lady Prophet, the most powerful character in this universe, because she would possesses vast psionic powers that enabling her to manifest and control the motivations of all people.
Unfortunately her vast potential for good is rarely realized, because she is not very bright, ,and is all too easily manipulated for evil by the true evil endless, selfish greed of Richey Rich.
The heros could face endless trials trying to free “Lady Prophet” to do the good she is capable of doing, but before they can. They must free her from enslavement at the hands of Richey Rich, arch scion of evil, and his council of the damned called the “The most Selphish ones”
Preventing them from succeeding could be a host of evil supporting characters like “Endliss Greede.”
Also where is “Redneck man” the poor as dirt white guy. He would be the perfect “dark” character - no not in color. LOL
Dark characters are the overt bad guys who end up doing a critical good thing or two Redneck man, always wanting to fight the good fight, but thanks to the manipulations of RR he is always confused as to what’s real and what isn’t. LOL

Since we’re speculating on the creation of comic stereotypes, let’s get philosophical and create a mythological universe populated by “Gods and mortals”, where the “Gods”, by definition, are systemic social organizations composed of subsidiary social organizations which themselves are motivated by local organizations of families composed of “mortals”. Each contituent organization derives its divine characteristics from the mortality of its membership which seeks to minimize its individual mortality by investing its energy in the maintenance and reproduction of the organization which simultaneously sustains and destroys them. Morality and ethics are thereby required to promote social cohesion at the expense of its more expendable membership, and allow the rest to focus its concentration on internal and external threats to its collective existence. Racism, sexism, homophobia, poverty and affluence can all be harnessed to the framework of production and consumption which extends the mortality of the whole. Of course, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and operates according its own autonomous rules of efficiency.

Hmmm. I am glad my tax dollars don’t pay for this. But i may watch an episode, just to check it out.
Sounds entertaining. Don’t have cable so I’ll have to wait this comes out on DVD and pay for it with my non-tax payer derived income.
I’d rather have my “tax dollars” support this than killing innocent women and children throughout the world, but hey, thats just me.
