@doc-holiday: Yeah. Right now, she seems too perfect, which can sometimes be a bit jarring. I think what most writers do when writing minorities is try to make them as perfect as possible by avoiding stereotypes, which is why most black superheroes are boy scouts. Black Panther, Blue Marvel, Falcon, John Stewart, etc, they're all too perfect, and hardly relatable, I'll admit. Comic book logic is something I hate delving into, since the impossible happens in those universes all the time. I wish I had the answer, maybe we'll find out how she was able to reverse engineer his armor when the book drops. Don't tell me you're not the least bit interested.
@doc-holiday: Doesn't change the fact that the majority of superheroes are still white. Just chill out, and enjoy the comics for what they are. I'm a black guy, and I've been reading comics for years. Doesn't bother me that most of the stories I read feature white protagonists. It's something I've accepted as the norm. And I don't have a problem with some of the younger generation of heroes being minorities, just giving new readers someone they can relate to.
Can't wait to read it. Seems as if there's one particular thing about Riri that people seem to be hung up on that makes people dislike her, I wonder what it is? Anyway, she's a new junior hero, it's only a matter of time before she joins a team. I can see her being on the new Champions.
Wow, I definitely called this. But I had Wolverine in the line up, instead of Cyclops. And I thought they'd be the New Young Avengers, but I guess Marvel wants to bring back the Champions name.
@sanityisoverrated: If it referenced the multiverse, that could open up the door for so many possibilities. Miles Morales and the Squadron Supreme being a few in the future.
