MB Ethnic Diversity

[MKS]

I believe we have White, Black, Asgardian, Atlantean, Alien and Robot/Synthetic Lifeforms covered. I think we could use some additional ethnicities such as Asian, Hispanic, etc to add some diversity to the MBs.

Anyone have suggestions?

[lord odin]

I hear Willie Lumpkin is part mexican part chinese.

[FNGrimm]

Most ethnic characters are handled poorly, but you can have a Sunspot, and ummmm thats about it, theres like no asians besides Chang Chi in the marvel U

[Azog]

I think we are long over due for a Silver Samurai bust/fs

Jubilee,lady D,mariko,silver S

[Tetragrammaton]

White Tiger I or IV
Collective Man (he could fill out the Chinese quota all by himself)
Sunfire
Josiah X
Mantis
Firebird
Jade Dragon (this guy could be really cool)
Radioactive Man
Blitzkrieg
Sabra
Defensor
Shamrock

[rychehitman]

Well, I believe in the HUMAN race, and I think that that race has been portrayed very well along with the Asgardians, Atlanteans, Aliens, and Synthezoids

That being said....why arent there any Puerto Ricans on Star Trek?

GOOD CALL!

That would be a great chrome, shiny piece!

The DD foe "Bengal" has a great costume also!

[Tetragrammaton]

Always wanted Marvel to do more with the character. Liked him since he took apart Night Thrasher in New Warriors.

The Saudi ambassador is attending a dinner at the White House when President Bush asks him how he likes America. He says he loves American culture, especially the television and Star Trek in particular. He just wonders why there aren't any Arab characters.

President Bush reflects for a moment and answers, "cause it's in the future".

I forget which comedian this joke is attributed to.

[rychehitman]

I hope that isnt a true story! :banghead:

Heck yes, Great idea. :buttrock: Could not agree more, but how does someone agree more?

[rychehitman]

post your home telephone number and ask for people to call you to talk about how great of an idea it is?!?!?

Hector Ayala (White Tiger I) dead
White Tiger II (from Heroes for Hire) devolved into an actual tiger
White Tiger III (from the crew) I believe he changed his name to the White Panther but I could be wrong.
White Tiger IV (Angela del Toro) Niece of the original White Tiger and current wearer of the Jade Tiger pendants.

El Aguila... Zorro rip-off, but I always liked him.

Original White Tiger - right on!

Defensor - Argentinian

[Lay-Z-boy]

The Tarantula, Titanium Man, Zabra, Arabian Knight.

Forget that question. Why aren't there any Asians in Star Wars? Six movies that were filmed over almost thirty years in real time, jedi lightsabre moves ripped straight from samurai technique, alien life forms from all parts of the galaxy, robots, droids, jar jar binks even, and not a single Asian? Whatever, George.

Everyone was complaining about his being an Asian sterotype ... especially with that horrible accent.

[Wolverine1]

SS is a good call, Azog. Jubilee is another.

[Foord]

Isn't Psylocke Asian?

[Jesse321]

Isn't Psylocke Asian?Psylocke was originally British .. she's the sister of Capt. Britian ... she was transplanted into the body of an Asian Ninja.

No asians????? Sunfire, Mandrin, Yellow Claw, Silver Samerai, and I am sure that there is others besides that. I think any of those could be Bust worthy anyway.

But I will agree that most non white (heck non U.S.) characters are handled poorly or at least given little attention.

White Tiger II (from Heroes for Hire) devolved into an actual tiger
White Tiger III (from the crew) I believe he changed his name to the White Panther but I could be wrong.

The 1st White Tiger, Hector, is the only White Tiger I know or want to know.

[Roguewarrior]

El Toro, Tarantula, Omega, El Aguila (or something like that), There was a cool South American Hero, back when J. Byrne was writing for Wolverine. But really the only one of what I mentioned that would even come close to being busted would be (IMO) Tarantula or Omega.

Actually, there was ONE Asian person clearly visible in Return of the Jedi. (Geez..though this doesn't count as much of an appearance) He was flying an A-Wing (or was it a Y-Wing?) during the Battle of Endor at the end and was blown-up almost immediately after coming on-screen :rolleyes2 (A lone Black X-Wing pilot suffered the same fate a few minutes before.) Also, in the Special Edition of ROTJ an Asian actress plays the white/gray-skinned Twi'lek dancer Lyn Me in Jabba's Palace.

Bai Ling was also supposed to appear in Episode III, but ended up on the cutting room floor (although her scene does appear in the deleted scenes of the DVD).

[rychehitman]

...........because they don't work in the future either! :laugh:

(classic joke people! no offense intended!)



thats the answer I WAS looking for, but Jesse you do make a great point!

[rychehitman]

What about the Viceroy?

if that is true, that is wrong on many levels...the lack of asians in SW is something I never noticed before actually.

I find the lack of white people and black people in early Godzilla movies equally disturbing!

[Tetragrammaton]

What I find disturbing is New Yorkers speaking Japanese in Godzilla Final Wars.

How about that guy from the X-men he swung that thing above his head and made a frickin' stargate thingy, wasn't he a man of ethnic diversity, can't remember his stage name whirlpool or lariet or some weird name for the little aboriginey guy, nothing wrong with that.
Can I use "stargate thingy" or do I have to get some kind of waver?
Oh yeah, anybody can use the "portal" I think that's his name?
Did I spell aboriginey correctly, don't want them suin' me.

Anyone remember the original Talisman?

Here are some characters off the top of my head...

I would buy these busts:

Captain Marvel (former Avengers leader)
Shang Shi
Fu Manchu

[rychehitman]

Contest of Champions was his only appearance, correct?

[Avenger]

I believe that is correct. I don't remember seeing him anywhere else.

[Jesse321]

I find the lack of white people and black people in early Godzilla movies equally disturbing!The early Godzilla movies all took place in Japan and Japan is predominantly Asian even to this day, so I can understand that.

[Tetragrammaton]

Some of the monsters were white but they only appeared that way. They were meant to be silver.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What's worse, there were no Chinese folks (or other non-Japanese orientals) in the Godzilla movies, either.

Yeah, what'd you say?

Of course I can tell the difference. No, really....I mean it. Really.

:laugh:

We need MBs of Sunfire, Thunderbird, Mantis etc etc!

What about Two-Gun Kid? We need more cowboys to up the diversity!

[Iacon13]

What about that Master of Kung Fu guy. he would look great with the 70's Cage and Iron fist. Also Sunfire is being done so Bowen is on the right road to some diversity.

[vudoo1979]

Thunderbird..

[mitthrawnuruondo]

La Tarantula!! Gotta love the Latins with the Pointy Shoes!!! :)
i believe those are called pointy chews, :laugh: at least thats what twisted toyfare theatre led me to belive

I would have posted sooner, but must have missed this one.

Gateway, that's his frickin' name, thanks, after reading about 10,000 comic books I got a little frazzled, he's from the land down under, were any of the Reavers ethnically diverisfied?

If anyone hispanic, then I would like the White Tiger. I loved that character in Spectacular Spiderman.
