The unusual twist is thanks to Marvel Entertainment Inc. editor-in-chief Joe Quesada, who in his seven-year tenure has shown an ability to push forward comic book tradition by encouraging controversial changes to characters and taking risks on portraying diversity... Under his stewardship of Marvel's marquee characters, Captain America was assassinated, Spider-Man's identity was revealed and Rawhide Kid came out of the closet. And then there is Eleggua, the character that Rodriguez becomes. Quesada says Eleggua and the team he leads, the Santerians, are the first all-Latino comic book team whose powers are derived from the Afro-Caribbean religion of santeria.Killed Captain America -- that figures. Made a wild west cowboy archetype gay -- that figures. Introduces unsupervised children to devil worship -- that figures.
yeah really. we need more minority, homosexual, and anti-american superheroes.
