WWE Files To Trademark 'RKO'

Titus O'Neil: "I'm 40 years old and I've never seen a Marvel character that looked like me, as an African-American male. This will be the first time I've seen a superhero on screen that looks like me and I want kids to not only be able to see superheroes on the screen, but also to view themselves as superheroes. If they see that on screen, then maybe they can be the next doctor or lawyer or president, whatever they can be. This could be a great teaching moment if we can get them into theaters."

 

Alicia McDowell and Titus are looking to continue to raise money so that more children can see a screening of the film. You can click here to check out their GoFundMe.
