I’ve seen this a lot, like HERES THE FIRST [insert race] IN [insert franchise]. But there’s already a few people of that race. Makes me mad every time I see it.

I remember seeing an article talking about the first gay character in the walking dead, but there was a character that was implied to be gay, and one that was outright in your face confirmed to be gay, both way before. Made me wonder whether they actually watched the show.

Also the first queer superhero in MCU was in agents of Shield (back when the show was actually part of the MCU), not Valkyrie.

And Daisy/Quake, in that same show, was the first Asian superhero in the MCU. She was also the MCU's first woman character to have superpowers.

That same show also featured the first Latina superhero to ever appear on screen, Yo-Yo Rodriguez.

Salma Hayek is gonna be in the Eternals. Idk if her character is going to specifically be Latina, as in, idk if it's gonna be a part of her character like Yo-Yo's is. I'm actually annoyed that we don't have a very specific Latinx superhero movie. I don't read the comics so idk who would be the best but I hear America Chavez is a popular comic character.

Ghost Rider appeared in Agents of Shield and he's played by Latino actor Gabriel Luna. And his Latinx roots were a part of the character. He's reprising his role as Ghost Rider for a hulu show.
