Roye Okupe dreamed of creating an African superhero universe.
He discovered superheroes from Transformers and X-Men cartoons while growing up in Lagos, Nigeria. He arrived in the United States in 2002 at the age of 17, the same year Sam Raimi s first Spider-Man movie broke records at the box office and made superheroes a mainstay in theaters.
By the time he graduated from George Washington University with a degree in computer science (while also studying animation at the Art Institute of Washington), Okupe was shopping around an 8-minute animated trailer for an African superhero. Years before Black Panther would go on to make a billion dollars at the box office, Okupe received little interest from the TV world. One producer told him his ideas might work if he changed the race of his heroes.
