something something Marvel and DC won't save us but it'd be nice if they got a little more weird with gender. read on for ideas about gender representation, personal anecdotes, and a select few of my gf's random trans mutant HCs.
11. Alejandra Jones aka Ghost Rider - Hispanic nationality unknown
12. Maya Lopez aka Echo - half Hispanic and half Cheyenne, the former nationality is unknown
13. Ajak aka The Legendary Inca Warrior - Peruvian born
14. Anya Corazon aka Arana - half Mexican and half Puerto Rican American
15. Gabriel Vargas aka Captain Universe - Chicano (Mexican American)
16. Gabriel Carlos Dantes Sepulveda aka Defensor - Argentinian born
17. Fabio Medina aka Egg (formerly known as Goldballs) - Hispanic nationality unknown but is American born
18. America Chavez aka Miss America - biracial; Afro-Puerto Rican Caribbean
19. Carmen Cruz aka Gimmick - biracial; Afro-Latina
20. Laura Kinney aka Wolverine - biracial; Afro-Latina and half white; her exact ethnicity is unknown but first appearance (in the animated X-Men: Evolution series) depicts her with dark skin and her “mother” had darker skintone with blonde hair. Her creators didn’t specify her ethnicity but I do think she’s Hispanic. And given the darker skintone of her “mother”, she’s most likely Afro-Latina. I know in recent comic adaptation portray her with way lighter skin tone but her ORIGINAL appearance shows her with DARKER skintone (thought not as dark as her “mother”). As such, I have seen Laura as half white and half Afro Latina but the Hispanic nationality is unknown. Also, as a side note, her creators also mentioned they planned to do a LGBT storyline with Laura but it was axed. So, she’s also LGBT.
21. Cecilia Reyes - Puerto Rican and depicted with dark-skinned complexion
22. Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot - biracial; Afro-Brazilian
For @xmenofcolor‘s Krakoa Living category, Mondo and Risque! They’ve never met as far as I know, but I think they’re both neat characters, and they’re both lesser-known X-Men of color (Mondo is Samoan, Risque is of Cuban and Seminole heritage) so here’s them chilling together on the Krakoan beach!
I was so caught up with Dani’s story in Marvel’s Indigenous Voices, I forgot to mention this lol... as happy as I am my #ProblematicFave Risque got a mention:
Gloria was never an official member of X-Force, just an ally
Her powers are implosive, not explosive - she can create little gravity fields inside objects, then throw imploded objects with an outwards force, kind of like biotic powers in Mass Effect
“And now...
“...now it’s in the lap of the gods.”

“I grew up in a home where my father encouraged us to chat at dinners about math, science, history, politics, and topics like that. My father gave the same value to my opinion as to my brothers. So my perspective on career, styling and leisure is not so codified... I simply choose what is comfortable and inspire me in the moment.” — Stana Katic photographed by Nino Muñoz for Gloria Magazine (2017)
