Marvel Created A White Male Superhero Who Thinks It’s Too Bad He Got Powers Instead Of A Latina Woman

>It’s time to get excited, because Marvel Comics just announced a new superhero that advances diversity in comics in a major way. The series is called Luminary, and it tells the story of a mild-mannered Caucasian man named Percy Pendleton who gains incredible superhuman powers and constantly expresses his regret that he was blessed with those abilities instead of a Latina woman, who could be a role model for young Hispanic girls in addition to merely fighting crime.

>Yes! Marvel deserves major kudos for this massive step toward inclusive representation in comics!

>While working as a nuclear physicist at Stark Industries, Percy is caught in a particle-accelerator explosion. A surge of neutrinos floods his nervous system and transforms him into the incredible Luminary, a hero whose amazing powers of flight, super strength, and energy manipulation make him concerned that as a white man he does nothing to reflect the face of a changing America, which is increasingly Hispanic and female.

>Wow. What a long-overdue breath of fresh air to see a big-name publisher like Marvel feature a white male superhero who thinks it’s a shame he isn’t Latina.
>>
>For a glimpse of the groundbreaking work you can look forward to in Luminary #1, check out these sample panels Marvel released earlier this week.

>Awesome. Thanks, Marvel, for proving that white men who wish Latinas had better opportunities can be superheroes, too! We can’t wait to read the first issue!

Hispanic's not even a fucking race

Brown people are brown due to their Indio inca genes, not their "Hispanic" spanish genes from Europe.

Hispanic is not a race and any race could be hispanic, this is from the gov

Cameron Diaz is technically a hispanic woman, a white hispanic

Hispanic - Linage from Spanish speaking country regardless of race

Latino - Linage from Latin american country regardless of race

Why is marvel so stupid?

This looks like a joke, friend

>Clickhole
Ha!
Didn't know Clickhole was /ourguy/
Is that site worth checking out?

You know I want to say "this can't be real as that art looks like low entry webcomic shit."

But then I remembered Squirrel Girl.

And while this is a joke I could see one for their current tools writing a character to cry to America Chavez that they aren't the real heroes like she is.

My problem with this art isn't even the obnoxious chibi stylization. It's just bad art. If the linework was actually passable rather than all of these shaky lines and bad perspectives it might work, but I genuinely could not tell you who was standing where in this pic, or how they got from one place to another.

Also I'm going over this a 3rd time and is that supposed to be Arcade? Is Arcade a girl in this or is the art just that bad? Because if Arcade is a girl good on them for creating a bland strawman to social justice to that isn't just a stock douchy white dude.

Yeah but anon, didn't you know that before 2011 most American women were chained to a kitchen stove and not allowed to go outside. It only changed after Emma Watson's UN speech
