I want Omega Man to be the equivalent of any Caucasian superhero, like a Superman, Batman, a noble righteous character, ... That's what we're trying to do with Omega Man - give you a symbol that is African-American but is 100 percent positive.

I come from a long line (of strong black women) and have been involved with strong black women, so I have to (make) Original Woman a strong character. She could never be the back half of Omega Man. It just couldn't happen.

To forget there was a child discarded like trash.

Making a marriage work and having that many kids is a real adventure. It's more challenging than saving the world, I think.

I feel that you see so many negative images of African-Americans, ... We have to take it upon ourselves to do something to change that.
