Maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough. Marvel doesn't have any faith that a brand spanking new character is going to be profitable. at least it won't be profitable enough to justify the expense of putting a new character out. That character can be of any gender, race, or sexual orientation. It doesn't really matter. It's just a new character that has a big chance of failing financially for the company. So they bring out a "new" character by piggybacking on an established character. When I say they don't have faith in new characters, I mean that in the sense that they don't have As to the public's willingness to fork over their cash for comics, that comment was in reference to your comment about people who are calling for diversity.Yes, there are people calling for diversity, but that doesn't mean they are going to do anything else besides talk about it. If they wanted to, they could have made their wishes known with their wallets years ago. If there were enough people willing to do so, this type of change could have occurred previously. It hasn't.
