I seem to remember an Avengers issue in the 80s (228 I seem to remember) where Egghead reformed the Masters of Evil and Tiger Shark called Radioactive Man a, and forgive the word, "gook." So even in the 80s, racism wasn't a big thing.

It's funny to look back now and think how racist things like this seem. At the time though, Luke Cage was a product of the Blaxploitation craze, which was very big and seen by many as a positive, empowering thing. Luke Cage is basically Marvel's version of Shaft.

Shaft's his name. Shaft's his game.

DOOM stands by his comment. Had his men reported a rational black man in the FFs craft, he would have prepared for T'Challa
