If you are offended by diversity, get over it or simply don't buy the products as its a free market (mostly). As for me, I'm looking forward to that Sam Wilson cap and foster Thor 2 pack.

My "problem" is more with the fact the "mantle" concept is that it really destroys character development! by making X-23 wolverine your saying that x-23 wasn't a viable character on her own, she needs to hold one of the main spots, they could have worked on developing Valkery or Sif, but they chose to just make a random female thor to make a point. Sam as Cap is probably the best fit, if it was only him. but a complete overnight PC realignment is just lazy story telling. These characters have lived the lives they did to become who they are to simply scrap them out and replace them because being a white male isn't gosh with the brainwashed masses anymore is just a pathetic attempt to stay "fresh and relevant" you want a good example that shouldn't offend any one: the new Hulk is Thor?!?! why? He's Thor! (oh excuse me chick got his name when she took his hammer) He's Odinson (oh wait that's sexist) lets make him green and call him hulk! lazy writing!
