I THINK THAT MARVEL SHOULD MAKE/USE MORE AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THEIR COMICS. AMERICA IS A VERY DIVERSE PLACE.  THE COMIC BOOK WORLD IS EXPANDING AND SO SHOULD ITS DIVERSITY.  ALTHOUGH IM VOUCHING MORE FOR MORE AFRICAN AMERICAN SUPERHEROES I THINK THAT AN INCREASE IN ALL CULTURES WOULD BE GREAT. COLOR IS BEAUTIFUL ALL THE TIME WHEATHER IT BE WHITE OR BLACK OR HISPANIC OR WHATEVER

Agreed.................there is alot of people of all races on the vine. This is a very good idea of the demographic of comic book readers.

more irish people in comics

There should be more Swedes in comics. And this time the writer should check actual name statistics and just not assume things about Swedish names. :P

I agree that comics need a more multi-national approach, but I would like to see less "tokenism" and more ethnic characterization.

Let face it, some of these characters are simply different skin colors, underneath as a character they're the same old, same old. We aren't getting a different ethnic viewpoints on mutants, SHRA, etc.

Oh yes. Totally (I wrote about it a week ago).


Agree with Pania. There's no point in diversity if there aren't going to be different viewpoints because it allows us to realise how more or less privileged we are than other people (I say it all in my blog post).

       Rome wasn't built in a day.  You can't expect them to make 30 more characters with diffrent view points.  If they only added 3 more diverse characters, that would be a major step in the right direction.  When it  comes to people accepting diversity we all know it appears in steps.   Saying theres no point is like saying, " I'm not perfect.  There are somethings I could change about myself, but there's no point so I'm staying just how i am."  Thats just admitting defeat to me.

HE** YEAH variety is the spice of life : )

They've actually created a lot of diverse characters the last couple of years. I'm not sure what you want , actually.
More characters with different nationalitys, or just more black characters?

well that dosen't mean their are enough.  I would like both actually.  I said that at the top. Although I am African-American so automatically i really want so more of them.  Like anybody else, I really do vouch for my race, but if i were to see a mixture i would be equally happy. :)

Well, here's a list of some new diversity Marvel characters then:

Arabian Knight - Saudi
Araña - Latin-American
Armor - Japanese
Darwin - African/latino-american
Dust - Afghan
El Muerto - Mexican
Faiza Hussain - British-muslim
Indra - India
Kavita Rao - India
Kidogo - Kenyan
Nehzno - Wakandan
Omega Sentinel - India
Pixie - Welsh
Prodigy - African-american
Rockslide - Italian-american
Shola Inkose - African-Genoshan
Surge - Japanese

There's probably more, this was just those i thought of at the moment.

I LOVE how you put this.  So, true.   
I think right now DC is making a move in the right direction.  Sure it could be better but they have certainly taken some steps with this relaunch.
