"You wanna be Black Panther?"

"Mhmmm," five year-old Arthur Pendragon nodded without looking up from his coloring book. So he didn't see the mixture of confusion or concern on his mother's face.

"Arthur you do know that Black Panther is a Black superhero?"

"Yes," the boy shrugged and kept coloring.

She didn't object to her son wanting to be a superhero, who happened to be black, but this one would be a bit like dressing her son as Martin Luther King, it didn't feel right somehow.

"What about Superman or Batman?"

She thought about her parenting philosophy, growing your children truest selves, and wished for a moment that she was the type of parent who would just say, "No and that's it, you're being Superman."

It didn't go as badly as she'd worried. There were one or two odd looks when they went out trick or treating. One parent did ask about the costume. She explained that her husband read X-Men to her son, and he insisted on that one.

As they were nearly done trick or treating they ran into a Black man with a tiny daughter wearing a white wig and dressed entirely in white except for black and red X-Men badges. They went in the same direction for a while, mini-Black Panther and mini-Storm ringing doorbells, talking about their candy, and their powers.

Later Arthur told his mother with a smile that he wanted to be Black Panther, because black panther was married to Storm. But now he wanted to King Arthur, because King Arthur was married to Guinevere.
