Abstract
The article focuses on the representation of Latino characters in the Spider-Man franchise, particularly highlighting the significance of Miles Morales, the first Afro-Puerto Rican Spider-Man, and Miguel O'Hara, the Irish-Latino Spider-Man from "Spider-Man 2099." It discusses the historical underrepresentation of Latino superheroes in mainstream comics, noting the introduction of characters like White Tiger and Firebird, and how their narratives often avoided negative stereotypes. The article also examines the cultural impact of Spider-Man in Latin America and the evolving portrayal of race and ethnicity in the comics, particularly with Morales's character development and the mixed reactions to his introduction. Overall, it emphasizes the importance of diverse representation in superhero narratives and its resonance with audiences of color. [Extracted from the article]
