Have you guys seen this?
>With a crushing debt and a health care and humanitarian crisis in the making, the beautiful island of Puerto Rico could use a superhero right now. And thanks to Brooklyn-based Marvel Comics writer and comic book nerd, Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, it got one. Her name is La Borinqueña, a New York-born superhero who discovers her superpowers when she visits the island.

Why is Jim Jones on the cover?
>"She is symbol of patriotism at a time when Puerto Ricans need to be reminded of their superpowers," says Miranda-Rodriguez, who pitched the idea of creating an original comic book to the National Puerto Rican Day Parade committee several months ago.
>"She is a patriotic symbol of hope for Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans. We don't need to look outside of us for the power—we have it inside. If we come together, we will win," he says.
They better do her justice by having a fat ass.
>new york born
so now they're stealin our women AND our superheroes
>Puerto Rican
is this really or one of those lame 3rd world superheroes south America and the middle east make?
So is this specifically going to be in Spanish and released in Puerto Rico, like their Korean comics, or is it coming out here?
Okay...
La Borinqueña
It sounds like a cookie or some cheap snack brand
>tfw ignored again for the regueton island
Someday, someday my dear Colombia
Can Puerto Ricans afford comics?
There is nothing worthy in colombia to make a whole title of.
Inb4 women
Why was she born in New York if she's meant to represent Puerto Rico?
And will this result in a resurgence of that one educational filmstrip, "Progress Island U.S.A.": youtube.com
Borinquen was the name of the island before the europeans renamed it Puerto Rico.
Is that Hector Lavoe in the inferior left corner?
Shit OP here I forgot about finishing the whole thing, here's the source:
>nbcnews.com
Shouldn't Marvel just push White Tiger and give her an ongoing again?
there is less than nothing worthy in Puerto Rico to make a superhero.
Everytime there is a latino superhero 70% of the time is either from Brazil or Puerto rico
Marvel please stop the pandering
why isn't she a tranny marvel is literally north carolina right now
>not a race/gender swapped legacy of a pre-existing hero
Huh. It's like Marvel wants her to fail horribly.
why would they?
why would they?
Hey, they got pretty much every character in Squirrel Girl.
that design made my eyes hurt
and i actually thought the cover was from a porn comic i read in exhentai
that was legit the only reason why I read your post
she's cute anways but i hope her costume burns and she's an actual character like miles and ms marvel and not sjw thor.
and anyone having anything negativ to say about her race her is probably retarded anyways because this is legit everything they asked for when it comes to new characters
new character with a old name
>BUT WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A NEW CHARACTER FUCKING SJW
diversity
>WHY ONLY BLACK, WHY IS BLACK ALWAYS THE FUCKING CHOICE OMG I'M NOT Sup Forums BUT THIS IS FUCKING GAY
If guys go all Sup Forums then you are legit worse then SJW. You should probably buy this so not more of your white characters won't get replaced with other ethnic character.
Why the fuck does a pissant territory with no money and nothing worth terrorizing need a superhero?
And a Puerto rican superhero will help them against their crushing debt and healthcare and humanitarian crisis...how?
Also
>Borinqueña
I don't know about PR, but in my country, that's a nickname for a prostitute.
they're not worse than sjws until they say juan mcwhatshisname should be fired.
So?
You guys are idiots.
This is really clearly some dumb shit they're pushing out as a one-off for good publicity to piggyback on the popularity of Puerto Rican Day, and afterwards this character will never be mentioned again.
I don't think this is a Marvel comic. They've got nothing about it on their site, with no interviews involving editorial. The writer wrote a short story in Guardians of Infinity, that's it.
Article on the character makes no mention of her being published or owned by Marvel.
Oh great, more blantant SJW pandering garbage. Why does she have to be brown and a woman? Why can't Peutro Rica just have a straight white male hero?
Oh right, because Marvel is owned by tumblr. Pass. Anyone that supports this is literally part of the problem.
Will she have a zika themed villain?
Did they all forget White Tiger exists? Fuck, they made 3 of those, it's a legacy title (currently two are active, but yeah), they're all suppose to be Puerto Rican, AND the current hero White Tiger is in an ongoing.
And they just go and make a new hero with the worst possible name they could come up with.
Not the ones that live on the island.
Are you talking about the comics with the inside out assholes?
Please tell me she get's preggers and bears, like, 4 kids from those glorious hips of hers.
I WANT MY PERUVIAN WARRIOR OR SOME NEGRO FROM ARGENTINA SUPERHERO!
NO
STOP IT
90% OF WESTERN SUPERHERO PORN ON THAT FUCKING SITE IS BY THAT ONE GUY
I JUST WANT GOD DAMN SUPERHERO PORN THAT ISN'T FULL OF RAPE, BONDAGE, BBC AND/OR ANAL PROLAPSES
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK?????
Here's a sauce, by the way. The only problem is that WaPo makes you sign up for a newsletter if you want to read the whole thing.
Don't we already have Anya hopping around the multiverse with Spider-Brit?
>NEGRO FROM ARGENTINA
DELETE THIS
Good that it's at least an original instead of a race swap but where are you people getting this is a Marvel comic? I see no references to this being published by Marvel.
In the caption of the picture on the nbc news site it says "Marvel Comics character", but that is most likely an error by whoever posted the article.
But hey, any reason to shitpost, you know?
Why would ever, anyone, would like an argentinian superhero?
btw, I don't understand your point, are you mad? is it sarcastic?
Okay, I got it: pastebin.com
It looks as if OP rused us; while the author does have connections to Marvel Comics, this new character is NOT in the Marvel Universe. At least, not yet.
Marvel could always just bring back el Vejigante.
What I mean is that I want diversity, no every new latino superhero should be mexican or puerto rican.
We Southamericans need some love too.
yes, I legit got used to seeing insideout asses so I could enjoy some quality superhero porn parody. I remember actually feeling depressed for having a great orgasm over the same comig that had a woman having her ass prolapsing and a dude grabbing it to pull it and her cumming..
don't we all man, don't we all.
>Why can't Peutro Rica just have a straight white male hero?
Ha i get it it's sarcasm, well it dosn't work well on text.
How come all the new "diversity" heroes they introduce have bland origins and even more bland costume designs?
>diversity
Thats how I know I'm speaking with a moron and/or a newfag
Do tell me, kid, about what would be a comic about a colombian superhero?
don't most Puerto Ricans I'd as white anyways?
If they really wanted to make her a representation of Puerto Ricans, she'd be fat, rude, loud, annoying and not very bright fucking things up as much due to her own ineptness as due to inexperience.
This is a comic for Puerto Rican-Americans with "Puerto Rican pride" that have never been to Puerto Rico and didn't question why their parents, grandparents, etc left
>Still not Chilean Super Hero/Heroine
Laaaaaame
I'd be for that, except if it's a chilean, fuck those guys.
9/10 you miss "barely understandable english or spanish"
>La Borinqueña
of course
>thumbnail reads as "Boringwoman"
Why is there a p.i. from the 40's standing shoulder to shoulder with a gay pirate in that crowd?
Sounds like Puerto Rico.
>Having "pride" in your shitty neighborhood/city/country
La Borinqueña is the name of the Puertorrican anthem. Not Puertorrican myself, but I lived there for some years.
I see you've noticed the duo in the back up story.
Rick Alvarez, a dick out of time and his faithful sidekick Fredrico the buccaneer bottom.
if we don't. who would?
>Captain Argentina never
>captain britain
>captain america
>not just creating a league of captains to act as super hero united nations
Shit nigga, I'd read it.
Ay ay ay ay ay, andale andale arriba arriba yepa yepa!
They were all killed by the zeitgeist years ago.
I'm down, so long as the book is good.
Wouldnt make more sense to be called "la boricua"
Looks to white to be Argentinian.
I got your origin story right here,
Who do I have to throw moneyat to get that made?
>According to Miranda-Rodriguez, La Borinqueña has three extraordinary superpowers--she flies fierce as the winds of a hurricane, possesses super human strength of ocean waves —think tsunamis, and can teleport wherever a Puerto Rican needs her.
hope for her sake that last power is restricted to life-or-death situations
Will she get Zika?
Does she save the world by becoming joining an American baseball team?
Why not just bring back Bantam?
He represents puerto rico much better, what with his chicken theme and boxing powers.
Is there a lot of cock fighting down there?
>can teleport wherever a Puerto Rican needs her.
Really?
>I can fly really fast!
>also I can teleport, but only to puerto ricans
Why
He can't leave the island.
It is so fucking ridiculous, it almost hurts.
So, no ideas, mate?
Yes, yes it is.
>and can teleport wherever a Puerto Rican needs her.
How does she get anything done? Does this include all the criminals in jail, because that's tingling my porn sense
He looks cool; why hasn't he shown up again?
This is so fucking retarded.
This. All the Puerto Ricans worth having moved to New York a generation ago. Everyone left on the island deserves to sink into the sea.
>can teleport wherever a Puerto Rican needs her
So if an old lady needs help crossing the street or someone needs a pickle jar opened she'll just pop on down?
>>With a crushing debt and a health care and humanitarian crisis in the making, the beautiful island of Puerto Rico could use a superhero right now.
Or, you know, better politicians.
I thought superheroes fought super-criminals, but I guess resolving national debt issue would be a neat superpower.
>New York-born
Why can't she be from Puerto Rico? or heck outside from New York
Also they already had Vejigante, he had a more interesting costume anyway.
So, Is this in with the usual Marvel Universe or is it it's own thing?
As has been pointed out in the thread, OP was just either rusing or had horrible reading comprehension. This has nothing to do with Marvel. The writer just happened to have written a back-up story in Guardians of Infinity so she's credited in the story as being a "Marvel writer" since that's who her most recent comic was published by.
He was killed during civil war, a dude named Thunderclap knocked him into a fuel truck which exploded and roasted him, not unlike what fate usually befalls the mighty bird that he patterned himself after.
>and can teleport wherever a Puerto Rican needs her.
Cringed so hard I shit myself.
This has nothing to do with Marvel. OP just has remarkably bad reading comprehension.
Whenever a boricua needs help to write a song to call women bitches she will help.
As a matter of fact, it is a great idea for a porn comic of her
You know comic book characters don't have different body types.
