Like I mentioned last week, the e-mails that leaked were perceived to be racist in some quarters. I really think that is going to play into things."

ETA: Really hoping this is just speculation.

Miles Morales is 1/2 black 1/2 Hispanic. I guess no one cares if they delete the Hispanic part.

I'm cool with it though.

They have War Machine, Falcon, and eventually will have Black Panther.

What they need to do is bring in more female characters.

Bring in Capt Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Valkyrie, or make Sif a more prominent player.

All they really have right now is Black Widow (no powers) and they are bringing in Scarlet Witch. They need a heavy hitting chick.

The female characters are still in the "damsel in distress" mode.

Storm, War Machine, and Falcon don't count I guess.
