Keegan-Michael Key Learned He And Dwayne McDuffie Were Half Brothers

Comedian Keegan-Michael Key is a comedian best known for his sketch show Key & Peele, working on MADtv and appearing in the series Playing House. He's also been in Fargo, Parks And Rec and much more more.

Talking on the You Made It Weird podcast (embedded above), Keegan talked about his family history as an adopted child, and them tracing his late biological father's family and finding that he had two half-brothers who had also passed away, one aged 45 and one 49.

One of them, he described as having worked at DC Comics and Marvel Comics and for Warners' Animation department, who was responsible for bringing characters of colour on-screen, and who died in 2011.

That's Dwayne McDuffie, folks. former Marvel Comics editor, co-founder of Milestone and co-creator of Static Shock the character, the comic and the cartoon, Damage Control and Ben 10, and the man who put John Stewart as Green Lantern in the animated Justice League. He died on the 21st of  February, 2011, one day after his 49th birthday,  at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, of complications from emergency heart surgery.

You can see them both in the Topless Robot Top 10 Modern Heroes Of Black Nerdom. And now connected genetically closer than ever known before.

Thanks to Sean Christopher for spotting this and letting me know.
