Marvel Creates Hispanic Superhero Spider-Girl
by Fidel Martinez
Move over, Blue Beetle and Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern). There’s a new Hispanic superhero in town! That’s right, kids. Marvel’s newest Spider-Girl chick is Anya Corazon– a Hispanic high school student in New York by day and a crime fighting superhero by night.
Although Anya isn’t exactly a new character (she was previously known as Araña), someone over at Marvel decided to go after the Hispanic demographic by making her into the new Spider-Girl. Anya joins Miguel O’Hara (Spider-Man 2099) as the second Latino character to don the web-crawler’s moniker.
Unlike the nerdy Peter Parker, Anya wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider and can’t shoot web juice. On the contrary, she is just a bad ass martial artist cleaning up the streets of NYC in black and white Spandex. Just like Batman, Spider-Girl has only her fists, kicks, and brains to work with.
Growing up a Hispanic nerd is a sadder and lonelier experience than our Anglo counterparts. Whereas white geeks always had the Man Of Steel and Spidey to look up to, we didn’t have jack. The Blue Beetle series didn’t really come out until we were adults and Kyle Rayner’s Mexican heritage didn’t really come into play. Granted, Zorro was around, but most of us can’t relate to being a 19th century Mexican landowner any more than we can a gringo from Smallville, Kansas. Some might find Marvel’s decision to be pandering to a rapidly growing Hispanic population, but we see it as a vital step towards proper representation.
That and we’re seriously hoping this will inspire the hot mamacitas of tomorrow to don Spandex for justice!

long live doing the right thing in fighting crime lets see spidie rounding up illegals as a real crime fighter …
no one who reads comics is going to even pause at this PC BS….its just fapping material for the fan boys. Hispanic?…meh…..female?…meh…..hot petite porn star female in spandex? whap whap whap
I’m insulted. I acknowledge this is indeed fap material for myself and other fans, but JUST fapping material? Certainly not. Believe it or not, guys don’t just fap to anything hot, they fap to women who impress them, and superheroines certainly do that. We can fall in love with them and their struggles. They give us hope for a better tomorrow.
I wouldn’t even say it’s primarily fapping material. Sure, you got the odd fap in here and there, but honestly, we’re more complex than that. For shame.
I thought she had web shooters?
