I know. Marvel put together a team of...

-A black king of a powerful nation who is also probably a top 5 smartest man in the word.
-Another black super-genius who's one of the most powerful beings on Earth.
-A black female who used to lead the Avengers.
-A hispanic female that can punch into different dimensions.
-Galactus.

But the leader of the team is a white woman who's most famous for getting thrown off a bridge and put into a years-long coma by Rogue.

Don't forget being raped by a alternate version of her own son.

I always found the diversity to be suspect at Marvel.

All those black heroes, and taking orders from a fascist white woman that got a breast reduction.

What's funny is that she actually wasn't gay at first. The writer of young avengers retconned her sexual preference a couple years back, so he could have his lil team book with damn near all lgbt characters.

If she were still straight and her current trajectory remained the same (or they threw the marketing machine behind her), I think in a few years she would've blown up huge in the hispanic/latina community as a more hip version of Supergirl. How she's often drawn + the whole spicy/fiery latina thing. Even the connotations in her name from a cultural standpoint.

With the lesbian route and now dating some generic blonde white girl, it could prob go either way.

I remember following Miles first run issue by issue

I fell off a bit, but, just picked up the latest joint

And this happens :pelscry2:

I'm re-reading Mile's entire run now. Venom War and Spider-Man No More are Mile Morales' best arcs to me. I know people here often shyt on Bendis' writing, but he forever gets a pass from me for his writing of Miles and most of his X-Men run.

Lesbian characters..is Batwoman still really good?

that shyt is the truth.. dude made every character in that vol.2 run gay


I think if she had been created now instead of 2008, she would have blown up like Kamala. Just don't think they really knew what to do with her. That and that vengeance mini was sussy

 

[John Reena]

I've been telling nikkas Detective Comics is the best book DC is putting out in their Rebirth line.

James T. Tynion has amazing character writing and development.

He preparing a BOUNTIFUL feast!!

Whoever the editor is for the Bat Line needs his/her next stop to be with the X-Men line to straighten them out.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Finished the Batman/TMNT crossover. Got damn that was great

Carol's got military experience and the book makes it very clear her position in the team is very much political as she's the liaison to the government organization they answer to.

You can downplay that fact just as Marvel has done often enough in the years long before this character push when she was treated as a second rate Avenger despite having more credentials to lead a team than favored characters but outside of T'Challa she's the only one on the team properly trained for the job. Plus let's not ignore that Blue Marvel actually takes point on all of their missions since he's the Reed Richards of the team and by all means the field leader.

Also, since you think they've accomplished so much more than Carol, name me three stories of note that America Chavez and Monica Rambeau played huge roles in, and I'm not talking about some shyt they just happened to headline, I'm talking actual stories that mattered and are remembered as great.

See, it's kinda easy to go like 'Oh, black character this, white character so' but the truth is that if Rambeau and Chavez weren't minorities you probably wouldn't give a single fukk about them or anything they have ever done. And that's because when push comes to shove, they really are very similar to Carol in the sense that they are characters with a ton of potential that no writer has ever really managed to tap into properly.
