I would love more desi superheroes 🤩

WOULDN'T WE ALL!!! When DC did their Asian Festival of Heroes one-shot in 2021 and every single story was about an East Asian (except for Damian, whose story was just horrible), they should've known to step up their game!! Some South Asian superheroes I can think of are Solstice (Kiran Singh) and Swamp Thing (Levi Kamei). Jinx is also a prominent South Asian non-hero.

Cass actually did meet an Indian superhero named Aruna Shende in her Batgirl (2000) annual. I think Aruna is pretty cool!! She's a shapeshifter who works as a stuntperson in the Indian movie industry, inspired by Cass to start fighting crime. She's also gender-fluid!! She says she doesn't know if she's a male or female because of her abilities, and they even use him/her in the bio at the end (though primarily uses she/her). She hasn't been used since, but she did get a cameo in DC Pride 2024!!

Adding her to the list of Batgirl (2000) characters I want brought back. Idk how many people even read the annual but Aruna is the best part for sure!!

Anyway, if anyone's looking for more Indian rep, support Ram V. Not only is he an excellent writer, he seems dedicated to introducing more Indian rep in comics. He created Levi Kamei and he's currently writing New Gods. If you're not reading him you really are missing out, go support his books (if you can!!).
