I'm gonna clear the air here
Destro.........Is.........White!! In I believe it was issue # 69 of the marvel series, Destro takes his mask off and is in a full panel with a face shot. Brown hair + caucasian= white guy. Also in issue # 55 (Unmaskings), Destro and C.C. are both seen with their masks off. They are in "disguise" but it's quite clear that they are both caucasian. In the cartoon they gave him african american features (on his mask) and a ridiculous voice but IMO the cartoon continuity doesn't count for much (lets not forget cobra-la, atlantis, time travel, interdimensional travel, and machines that can control the weather) So I think we can definitively say that Destro.....is.....Caucasian. Also, I don't know very many black scottish lords??? |

If the approach is to be more in the realm of fantasy and Destro is to wear his helmet most of the time, they could always use a white actor for the "physical" aspect and a black actor for the voice.
Yeah, sounds like Darth Vader.

I do believe that in one of the comics it states that he is from Scotland and that the mask has been passed down from generation to generation in his family, thus why his cousin Darklon also has a mask.
But as stated earlier, he is caucasian. The mask does make it a bit misleading, but if you looked beyond that and either read certain issues talking about his past or seen the refered issue that he was unmasked then I could see where the mistake can apply.
