I read that as "a black man" and was confused

Why is there an apostrophe in the Title.

It was supposed to be 'Mr Terminator' as that's his given nickname

I didn't know that was an option until seeing your comment and checking in the options, thanks. Assumed it was like reddit where the title gets locked
