Her foundation, The Restoration With Stacy Foundation gives support to women and girls who face abuse. She closely resembles artist Leonardo Romero’s Storm seen in the Shuri series. written by Nnedi Okorafor.
At just 24, Pandelani is a rising star in South Africa. She is a club Dj, radio host, and actress. Holding one’s own in an established ensemble cast is very difficult, and yet she manages to do just that on South Africa’s long-running soap opera Muvhango. Her role as Dee displays both a solid sense of comedic timing and a quick wit. Pandelani looks a lot like artist J. Scott Cambell’s Storm
Ororo Monroe’s command of weather has historically been depicted with a changing of her eyes and a gathering of clouds. Gravitas is needed to carry this role and that’s exactly what Sindi Dlathu brings to her portrayal of the enigmatic diamond mine owner Lindiwe on 1Magic’s hit show The River. The version of Storm she most closely resembles is that of the character’s original artist, David Cockrum.
Condensing the credentials of talented black actresses to a few sentences is always difficult, this is especially so with Genevieve Nnaji. She is synonymous with Nollywood, having amassed 130 acting credits on IMDb. Genevieve is in many ways responsible for the growing international interest the world is showing toward Nigerian Cinema.

Genevieve also resembles fan artist Ayhotte work on deviantart.

In addition to this, she looks very much like Jen Bartel’s artwork.
Thishiwe is a South African film director, writer, and actress. Her starring role in the SA action film Hard To Get was captivating, and she seamlessly carried moments of suspense, action, and sensuality in ways that leave the viewer guessing.

She looks a lot like Jim Lee’s version from the 90s, which heavily influenced the design of the 1992 X-Men Animated Series.
Bukamina’s plays a no-nonsense role as businesswoman Gugu on SA soap opera, Muvhango.

Beverly is a runway model, actress and a finalist on the show Big Brother. She is Instantly recognizable among the youth in Nigeria due to her many guest appearances in artist music videos. There is no denying her talent and her public persona of being a sometimes provocateur could channel to the role of young Ororo quite nicely. She looks like the character when drawn by marvel artist Victor Ibanez
