If you could meet any Black fictional character, who would it be?

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview two talented cosplayers dressed as the legendary Marvel characters Storm and Erik Killmonger!

During our conversation, we discussed which Black fictional characters we would love to meet in real life and what makes these characters so impactful within pop culture. We also talked about how BlerdCon feels like one big family reunion—a place where Black nerds, creators, cosplayers, and fans can come together, celebrate their passions, and build lasting connections. The sense of community, creativity, and belonging is what keeps so many attendees coming back year after year.
