DIRK ANGER HEAD!! Holy crap. A S.H.I.E.L.D. helmet, too?! I am buying a dozen of these Fury figures.

We now need Elsa with an angry head, a shovel, and an EU t-shirt. This is officially a Marvel Legends requirement.

Both options work when done well, which has to be the key.

The only character I can think of whose whiteness is intrinsically tied to their mythos would be Steve Rogers, who was created to turn the Aryan ideal back against its foul proponents (also conveniently illustrating that comics have always been political). There may be more I'm not aware of. Bond certainly isn't one. English has never been synonymous with white, not since Roman times, not in Tudor times, not in the 19th century with Londons entire black suburbs.

Anyone know what a fair price for a Jubilee wave Storm is without the BAF?

to the whole post, but the bold in particular. Jane Foster is Thor. Thor hasn't been forcibly morphed into a female form, Foster is her own character with a very definitive narrative which strikes new ground for the comic and keeps it fresh. However, Odinson is just as relevant and, if anyone is actually reading the comic, they'll know that his story is equally as important.

As long as diversity "for the sake of diversity" is done well, meh. I really don't mind.

Dude... Have you never heard of adoption? It's something that happens, quite a lot.
