Dani is way cooler without the powers. DnA have done a great job with her so far in their New Mutants run. She's been the featured character and has stood face to face with Cyclops and Steve Rogers.
The Echo/Hawkeye fling was cool but was quickly dropped for Mockingbird and 5 min later that was dropped for an out of left field love affair with Jessica Drew. I blame Marvel for that one doing everything they can to make Clint Barton the "Situation" of the Marvel U.
Puma is a classic Spider-Man villain/ally from another decade that has seem to have been unfairly forgotten about, so I'll give you that one. But, seriously, how many times has Tony Stark gone broke? The relationship with Black Cat was character development that was lost in the mix.
Warpath was an interesting character during Brubaker's UXM before the X-Force kill squad. The fact he was there was a head-scratcher to begin with.
Moonhunter was a major supporting character in Captain America at one point.
I'm not seeing exactly how Marvel hold Native American characters back - but let's be honest, it's not exactly their target demographic. Yeah, they don't have a major Native American hero like Black Panther is for African Americans but I certainly wouldn't exactly compare the situation to those old Merrie Melodies cartoons from the 60's that had the major racial stereotypical overtones.
If you say so about Dani, I disagree.
It might have been quick but let me tell you something I learned from countless videos in the service: Herpes is for life.
Puma was cast out by his tribe, has tony stark been like thrown out of being an american citizen and I didn't catch it? Tony is also a brilliant inventor, he just makes something and bam he's rich again. The relationship is there, she's in love with peter and puma is just something to pass the time, he knows this.
Warpath has never been interesting. He's always just been an assassin type.
I checked, it mentioned about ten issues of cap, maybe that's a major player to you but I'm not seeing it. I never even heard of the dude.
Not their target demographic? Do you really want to go down that road? Cause the main buying public for comics are 20-30 year old white north american males. You want all your superheroes worth a damn to be in that mix exclusively?
But you're right, native americans haven't really been hit with major bad cultural stereotypes the way blacks have. It's probably because 95% of all of them have been killed off by europeans so there weren't enough of them to matter.
I would just like to see a bit more diversity in things. And BP is like the worst black role model ever being a king and all. But mind you I'm not asking for like an all native american avengers just maybe like one or two that aren't just standard stereotypes would be cool. I'd dig the hell out of say the puma on the avengers over wolverine any day of the week.
