Q.Why are there NO( or very few) Marvel heroes who are albinos?

[Odin's Lapdog]

i can almost bet my life it's either from this comic

which would make sense

or

this one

if anyone has got them available could they veriry...


i'm sure it's not from generation x because i only have generation x comics from around the prime sentinel time and that's way into the future and he's not in them. I definitely have this pic

 

[Elijya]

no way did Val Semeiks draw that picture of gateway

 

[Elijya]

waitwaitwait, I know where it's from. that's Kubert art, that's from X-Men #50, where they fought Post, Onslaughts herald

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

who fought him?

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

it can't be, i only started collecting the onslaught stuff right when juggernaut comes to the x-mansion to get jean's help.

if it's the comic you say it's in, i would have never seen it.

Uh... why not? The anatomy and face look quite a lot like a more exaggerated version of Semeiks' style.

I've never met or seen an albino, all i have is powder.

Here's an albino kid.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow, is that the camera or are his eyes actually pink?

 

[Elijya]

they're pink. That's one of the attributes of albinos

 

[Darthphere]

Im going to start a thread asking why there isnt any Nicaraguan comic book characters.

Onslaught wanted to test the X-Men, and for some reason Gateway was working for him (though we got the impression he didn't want to be) and Gateway teleported Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm and Iceman to an unknown location where they fought a guy named Post, who was supposed to be onslaughts herald. Gateway appeared to also take Chamber, butOnslaught changed his mind and he was left there.

 

[Elijya]

whose art does this look more like. Hmmm

 

[Elijya]

looking at bigger pictures of them all, I'm even more convinced it's Kubert The hair and hands matches his style more

 

[Darthphere]

No clue.

 

[Elijya]

that is 100% Kubert hair. Look at any drawing of his and compare the hair. He always draws lots of thin wavy strands.

 

[Vanguard07]

Why are there no marvel characters with Downs syndrome?

Flash Thompson was as close as you will ever get.

It's Semeiks. Look up the issues, I guarantee you it'll turn out to be Semeiks. Semeiks draws similar hair to the Kuberts and the shading on the chest anatomy is vintage Semeiks.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

whose art does this look more like. Hmmm

but based on simply the fact i don't have that comic on the right you've suggested, it can't be that one.



It doesn't come down to which artist drew what at the end of the day, if i had never seen the one you've suggested then it can't be it otherwise i wouldn't have recognised the drawing at all.

 

[Odin's Lapdog]

albinos that should be black are certainly a sight.

According to an albino support group I visited on the Web, there are only 18,000 albino men, women and children in the whole continental United States, but my question is still valid- since when do numbers dictate how a minority group is to depicted? As for some of the posters replies, I trust that they were speaking "tongue in cheek" as were the same to said of(insert ethnic group here), they most certainly would be banned from this board if not explicitly censured for their flagrant bigotry!

Like this?

Why is is thought when ever I look at this pic I think of Ron Howard?!

It's not bigotry in the least. If anything, your request for more Albino representation is preferential bigotry: We've identified up to 7 Albino characters in the Marvel Universe, which is FAR above what proper population proportions would dictate. We've simply stated that there are other minorities that have NO representation that should probably come ahead of Albinos if more minority characters are to be introduced.

Tombstone is actually an albino. The rest, I'm not too sure of.

But he wasn't born one.He fell in to a toxic chemical liquid which turned him albino

Does Shriek count also?
