Wiseguys are renowned for their colorful nicknames. Over the years the nicknames the mob gave to their peers or chose for themselves ran the gamut from the macabre and scary to the ridiculous and downright funny. But many of them were unique and very memorable…thats for sure.

A very popular type of nickname was to be labeled with a color, such as red, brown, white, etc., such as Tommy Brown Lucchese or Sonny Red Indelicato. A particular color could often also have a deeper, more subliminal meaning. "Red" for blood, "Black"or death, and so on.

The color “Black” was always a very popular pick. So here’s my question…

Of the five nicknames of the mobsters listed below, which of these fellas was NOT connected to the Vito Genovese Family?

Louie Black
Black Bart
Larry Black
Jimmy Black
Black Alex
