Superhero: dark skin tone Emoji

People

A figure wearing a mask and a cape, rendered with a deep skin tone to represent a heroic character. The design mimics the classic comic book look, featuring a stylized costume that suggests power and mystery.

Usage Context

This emoji is used to praise someone for a brave deed, signify a personal accomplishment, or signal a passion for comic books and film franchises. It acts as a more specific alternative to the generic 🦸 or the more casual 💪 when you want to highlight strength and virtue.

History

The base superhero emoji was added to the Unicode standard in 2018 as part of Emoji 11.0. Shortly after, the skin tone modifiers were expanded to ensure that the representation of fictional heroes could reflect the diversity of real-world readers and fans.
