Anyone remember Northstar? Me neither. He and his split-personality sister Aurora looked to me like Marvel’s bizarre take on DC’s Wonder Twins. (And Marvel had to make them French-Canadian, of course.)
I remember Northstar, vaguely. He definitely was a d-lister character.
I do know they made Ice-Man gay in X-Men. I remember him as a bit of an unremarkable character in the comics, but basically just a regular dude, perfectly suited as a member of a team book. Apparently, not only did they make him gay, but like this really bad stereotype of a gay man out of the mid-90s that actually should be offensive to gay people. But who cares, “representation” trumps portrayal and characterization.
Its just so stupid.
I believe he was part of a Canadian group called The Vindicators. They had a sasquatch version of Hulk, and I think Logan may have been involved with them at one point.
I'm curious: do French Canadians count as Latin-Americans? After all they:
1. Speak a Latin language (French)
2. Live in the Americas.
Definitely Latinos! :-)
