That\u2019s why it\u2019s such a big deal for Marvel Comics to finally have a superhero from a real African country: Ngozi!<\/p>\n<p>Ngozi battles evil in Lagos in the comic <em>Blessing in Disguise<\/em>, appearing alongside characters from <em>Venom<\/em> and <em>Black<\/em> <em>Panther<\/em>. Nigeria\u2019s Chibok girls, a group of about 220 schoolgirls taken by Boko Haram in 2014, serve as inspiration for this character. Nnedi Okorafor, the comic\u2019s writer, wanted Ngozi to resonate with the country\u2019s young girls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were normal girls who suddenly had to deal with a huge change in their lives \u2026 and their story of perseverance is so powerful,\u201d Okorafor says. \u201cLike many Nigerian girls, Ngozi comes in a small package but is strong-willed and determined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jember<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/etancomics.com\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">ETAN COMICS<\/a> formed to create innovative stories about African superheros. This goal is achieved with <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.okayafrica.com\/read-jember-the-first-ethiopian-comic-book-introducing-the-first-ethiopian-super-hero\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">Jember<\/a><\/em>, starring Ethiopia\u2019s first superhero!<\/p>\n<p>Amanuel, a recent college graduate, struggles to find a path for himself. After failing to solidify his career and join his girlfriend in the United States, he faces difficult decisions that send him down an entirely new path.<\/p>\n<p>The comic sets itself apart through deep roots into the history and mythology of East Africa. The Kingdom of Punt, an ancient East African civilization, plays a key role in the story. Amanuel\u2019s story builds out of the past, while also taking great care to reflect modern day Ethiopia in a positive light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kwezi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Growing up, artist Loyiso Mkize was always waiting for the first South African superhero to emerge. Seeing that no one else was going to do it, he set out to create that hero. His creation, Kwezi, is now the first South African comic book to be sold by a major retailer!<\/p>\n<p>This coming-of-age story follows 19-year-old Kwezi. After discovering his unique powers, he begins to grapple with how to responsibly use them. At the same time he struggles with trying to stay true to his roots in the big city of Johannesburg. Each comic is rich with local slang, jokes, and issues, all with the goal of having a hero that represents South African youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really believe that our children could do with images like that,\u201d says Mkize. \u201cIn fact, our society in general could do with images like that. Images that are unapologetically themselves, and a positive image of how we\u2019re portrayed \u2013 there\u2019s so much power in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guardian Prime<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fed up with the lack of African superheroes, Jide Martin founded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecomicrepublic.com\/home.html\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">Comic Republic<\/a>.
