Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:Miles Morales Earth-1610 0007 4051.png\|frame\|link=Ultimate Spider-Man\|Does whatever a spider can]] {{quote\|'''Minute Man''': ''I'm black?'' Line 17: == [[DC Comics]] == * [[~~Characters/Batgirl\|~~Batgirl]]: Barbara Gordon (white) replaced with Cassandra Cain (half-Chinese half-white) who was replaced with Stephanie Brown (white, lower-class), replaced with Barbara Gordon. * [[The Question]]: Vic Sage (white male) replaced with Renee Montoya (Hispanic gay female, a [[Twofer Token Minority\|Threefer]]), a [[Canon Immigrant]] from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series\|Batman the Animated Series]]'' who had previously starred in ''[[Gotham Central]]''. She assumed the title in ''[[52]]'' upon Vic's death from lung cancer. * [[Green Lantern]]: Guy Gardner (white) replaced with John Stewart (black) and later Hal Jordan (white) with Kyle Rayner (originally white, later retconned to be half-Hispanic). However, the fact that the Green Lanterns are a police organization with 7200 members makes this more believable. Currently all four serve as equal members of the Corps. Line 79: == [[Marvel Comics]] == * In the [[Ultimate Marvel]] version of [[Ultimate Spider-Man\|Spider-Man]], the third volume introduced thirteen-year-old Miles Morales, of Latino and African-American heritage, who took up the mantle of Spider-Man. He is currently the page image. As expected Peter Parker doesn't stay dead. ** Because [[Ultimate Spider-Man]] was a popular franchise in and of itself, the change was highly controversial and [[Ultimate Marvel]] was occasionally accused of pandering. Following the ''actual release'' of the comics, reception has been largely positive and Miles himself generally regarded as well written and likeable on his own merits. For a long time, though, [[Ultimate Spider-Man]] was considered a negative example of this trope. * Phyla-Vell, the new (and now former) Quasar is a lesbian alien. In addition, the character started out in an AU where she shared the Captain Marvel identity with her brother Genis. Line 104 ⟶ 103: Similarly, the video game ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'' introduces a new version of Spidey's nemesis Doctor Octopus for the 2099 era. The new Doc Ock is Serena Patel, an Indian-American woman. * Combining this with [[Canon Immigrant]], the miniseries ''Battle Scars'' introduced, Marcus Johnson, whose real name was releaved to be Nick Fury, Jr., an African-American man based on the [[Ultimate Marvel]] version of Fury and son of the original Fury. * While [[Namor]], for unknown reasons, has always been drawn with somewhat Asian features (despite neither of his parents being remotely Asian), his Ultimate Universe version (who has unknown parents) is ''definitely'' Asian. == Other Comics ==
