Answer: Magic

Black Alice first appeared in "Birds of Prey" #76, 2005, from DC Comics.

Answer: Inhumans

Black Bolt first appeared in "Fantastic Four" #45, 1965, from Marvel Comics.

Answer: Canary Cry (sonics)

Black Canary first appeared in "Flash Comics" #86, 1947, from DC Comics.

Black Cat first appeared in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #194, 1979, from Marvel Comics.
