Shop decorations - cool nerds in popular culture

FIRST General Forum

Hi CD -
I’m going through my art & posters and realized that I have cool things nerds built (MegaBots & SpaceX launches) and an enthusiastic nerd woman (Girl Genius webcomic art), but I don’t have art of cool Black or Hispanic nerds.

See attached cartoon illustration showing delighted (white blonde) woman with mechanical engineering text. Y’all have favorite Black or Hispanic cartoon characters or real people I can buy artwork of to put in my house & workshop?

Also feel free to post your favorite white nerds, even though that’s not exactly what I’m looking for here - maybe it will help someone else remember their favorites!

Only one black character and no Hispanic characters, but I’m a big fan of Big Hero 6

(For anyone unfamiliar with the movie, the main characters are student researchers at a university science lab, and each character created their superhero gear based on their research)

I can’t find a terribly good source, but apparently Honey Lemon is supposed to be latina: The Problem with Honey Lemon in Big Hero 6

Static/Virgil Hawkins from Static Shock (Along with Gear/Richard Foley, but he isn’t the focus here) was definitely one of my favorite nerdy cartoon characters (and superhero duo) growing up!

I have a Spare Parts movie poster hanging in my living room…does that count, somehow?

(and below it are 3 robots from the movie)

Asked my Friday RPG Group to collectively think of some more characters while waiting for our last player who was running late. Here were our results:

  • Jaime Reyes (DC Comics, Blue Beetle)
  • Miles Morales (Marvel Spiderman)
  • Tucker Foley (Danny Phantom)
  • Cookie (Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide)
  • Kimiko Tohomiko (Xiaolin Showdown)
  • Cisco Ramon (DC Comics The Flash, Vibe)
  • Captain Benjamin Sisko (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
  • Shuri (Marvel Black Panther)
  • Alex Wilder (Marvel Runaways)
  • Lucius Fox (DC Comics Batman)
  • Cyborg (DC Comics, sometimes more Nerdy, sometimes more Jocky, yay Continuity)
  • Hunk Garrett (Voltron)
