Diversity
Daniel,
- Myles Morales is not African American. He is Hispanic/Afro-Caribbean.
- Ultimate Nick Fury did not “become black out of nowhere”. He was always black. Did Ultimate Wasp become Asian “out of nowhere”?
- Victor Alvarez, Ava Ayala, Blade and Kaluu are members of The Mighty Avengers, and neither of them are African American (Blade is British).
- If white readers supported existing African American/Black characters, there would be no motivation to “force” anything. Yet, you can’t find a single black character in Marvel that can sustain an ongoing title no matter the quality of the character or the writing. Mighty Avengers selling low is a good example of this. Clearly you yourself are not buying it.
- People who make these complaints seek to maintain the status quo. If books starring black or non-white characters don’t sell, then tough. Be happy with the crumbs tossed by including them as the one or two minority members of the white led and dominated team.
