Bendis didn't do anything wrong with miles. Idiots are jst mad that he had Miles say he doesn't want to be known as the black spider-man but just spider-man
Riri is a shytty character tho so I won't be supporting this.
Marvel’s new Iron Man is a 15-year-old M.I.T black girl Riri Williams aka Iron Man(African American)

Bingo.
And can't speak on Riri because I haven't read it. but the bolded is strike true. It's also funny that the guy who created the character can "write him wrong"

I wouldn't put Storm in the same league as Batman, Wolverine, and the rest you named. Their popularity came when comics were still selling and a lot of us grew up on them during that time.
Storm rise in popularity amongst casuals came with the movies and even still I dont think that popularity is higher than they know her codename and her powers. I doubt many of them even knew Storm had a solo or were even interested getting it.
Also in todays comic book industry DC and Marvel dont give time for lesser selling comics to grow and build an audience unless it's a character they are really trying to push at which you'll see them market it more and put top talent on it.
Hulk is Asian
Iron Man is a black woman
Thor is a woman
Cap is a black guy
OG Avengers are gone
I'm okay with this because some new blood is needed in comics, but at some point it gets ridiculous. Look at my new character! He's Latino, he's gay, he votes democrat, he's a feminist and he's a vegan too! Aren't we super progressive!

Remember when I was talking about original black character (outside of Black Panther) struggle to sell unless they go through the legacy route?
Here are the numbers for June 2016: Comic Book Sales Figures for June 2016
Nighthawk #2: 16,522
Power Man and Iron Fist #5 (Luke Cage as a co-lead): 24,202
16k for Nighthawk brehs. In the old Marvel system, that's cancellation numbers. And no matter the system, those numbers are pathetic, especially considering the quality of the material.
24k for Luke Cage and Iron Fist isn't "bad", but considering Luke is well-known in the comic book circles and has been around for nearly 40 years, not to mention he (and Iron Fist) are about to have a show on Netflix...those numbers should be higher.
Meanwhile...
Captain America Sam Wilson #10: 31,989
Spider-Man (Miles Morales) #5: 47,025
For FalCap to be selling over 30k at his 10th issue is very impressive. Miles, meanwhile, continues to sell units, despite Peter Parker being around and Peter having his own book.
So once again, for those against black characters going the legacy route, support the original characters with their own books. Because so far, Black Panther appears to be the exception, NOT the rule. These numbers alone are a reason why Marvel is going the way they are going.
And speaking of Black Panther:
Black Panther #3: 75,037
When it comes to black characters selling units, the King has the juice right now. Second best selling Marvel solo title that isn't Star Wars affiliated. Breh even outsold Cap #2 and even a Civil War II Spider-Man tie in.

I hate that marvel is pulling a dc fukking up their universe. Make new characters. Dont replace classic ones.
You all want more diversity and black actors in big films and now it's just pandering lol. You all ever think she was the best actress that tried out for the part?

Nighthawk is also technically a legacy character
