Straight (and Not) Out of the Comics: At DC and Marvel Comics, new heroes are gay, black, Asian and Hispanic. Get used to it

And if a Muslim was also included, just imagine the big o that the NYT's gayboy writer would've had.

I read the first issue of 52, and I think there was a Muslim. I know little about the DC Universe, so I don't know who the superpowered guy was--I think he was a Middle Easterner--but he saw a Muslim suicide bomber in a crowd of people, so he pulled him up into the air by one arm (which ripped his arm off) and threw him high enough to explode away from the crowd. That was kind of cool.

I flipped through a recent issue of X-men. It had a female muslim in it, but I couldn't figure out just what her ability was.
