These cartoon characters scream Black excellence, so here are the best black cartoon characters to ever be created:
1. Huey and Riley Freeman
2. Frozone
3. Numbah Five

Show: Codename: Kids Next Door
Numbah 5 is the cool kid and the smartest and second in command at Sector V.
For some reason, I love when characters talk in the third person, and when Numbuh 5 calls herself "Numbuh 5," I love it every time.
4. Penny Proud
5. Susie Carmichael
6. Gerald Johanssen

8. Princess Tiana
9. Garnet
10. Missy
11. Suga Mama
12. Miles Morales
13. Keesha Franklin

Show: The Magic School Bus
Keesha always has a plan! Keesha's only about the "facts" and is the most skeptical member of the magic school bus gang!
14. Black Panther

Show: Black Panther
T'Challa we all know was wonderfully played by Chadwick Boseman on film, but before that, Stan Lee wrote the Black Panther cartoon character. T'Challa is a member of the African royal family of the fictional country of Wakanda.
15. Cleveland Brown

Show: The Cleveland Show
Who would have thought Cleveland would have been the character on Family Guy to get a spinoff? Cleveland and his family killed it, and I love seeing a Black cartoon family that jokes as much as they do.
16. Jodie Landon

Show: Daria
I relate to Jodie so much. She's popular despite being very introverted. She's usually always giving advice and being the voice of reason.
17. Cyborg
18. Black Dynamite
19. Valerie Gray
View this video on YouTube
Show: Danny Phantom
Valerie Gray is the biggest frenemy of Danny Phantom. She's a crazy ghost-catcher! When she has her sights set on a catch, she does whatever it takes, and that persistence makes her character exciting.
20. Mr. T
21. Virgil Hawkins
View this video on YouTube
Show: Static Shock
Virgil is a young teenager who gains powers and vows to stop evil in his city. The show was only on for four years and deserves a reboot.
22. Rallo Tubbs-Brown
View this video on YouTube
Show: The Cleveland Show
Rallo in many ways acts like Stewie Griffin if he was African American. Rallo is a very aggressive 5-year-old compared to Little Bill beforehand. Rallo is transitioning into growing a relationship with Cleveland and Cleveland Jr.
23. Oscar Proud
View this video on YouTube
Show: The Proud Family
Oscar Proud is one of the best dads in Black cartoon history. Oscar owns Proud Snacks and is always part of a get-rich-quick scheme. He takes care of his kids and wife, and is a great family man.
24. Trixie Carter

Show: American Dragon: Jake Long
This list has a couple of tomboys, but Trixie might be the sassiest of them all. As the only female friend in her group, she's the rock. She keeps Jake Long and Spud's secrets to herself, and in the end, proves to be loyal.
25. Monique

Show: Kim Possible
Monique is HER! Monique is Kim Possible's bestie. Raven-Symoné voices Monique, which is iconic in itself.
26. Joe Gardner
27. Piccolo
28. Fat Albert
29. Storm/Ororo Munroe
