Calling Icon "the Black Superman" indicates a complete lack of knowledge about the character. As Dwayne McDuffie noted, he has little in common with Superman, and is more a "black Martian Manhunter" than anything else.

He wasn't from Dekota. Or Dakota. "Dakota" is the popular name of the city, it was used in Static Shock. But in the comics, the name is "Dakota City", a typical midwestern town, based on Detroit, but located somewhere south of Lake Michigan.

I was a bit disappointed they gave him the simple mask he's been wearing in his recent DC appearances, rather than the big pointy one from his Milestone years.
