They also started changing the genders of characters just to appease the PC crowd and to heck with the fans of those characters that have been around since the 40s-50s-60s-70s-80s, etc. I'm not some racist old white man, I'm a NuYorRican from Brooklyn who due to my military svc now reside in Tx. I grew up collecting Marvel/DC comics as a kid n the late 70s-80s. I fell in love with the Stan the man's creations & hate what these new generation writers are doing to his children. To me, it's a total lack of disrespect when they just take it upon themselves to change the gender or race or sexual orientation of characters I & many others grew up with. To me, Peter Parker is & always will be the only Spiderman. Steve Rogers the only Captain America, Bruce Banner, the only Hulk, white Nick Fury the only Nick fury & Donald Blake the one & only Thor, Sam Wilson, the only Falcon, Carol Danvers,the only Ms Marvel & Logan, the one & only Wolverine!!

Deep down inside, Stan Lee & all the other creators of these classic characters must be hurting at what these "writers" have done to his creations.

1) Namor is currently alive (just appeared in Jean Grey #3).

2) Good job completely ignoring the concept of "legacy characters", a concept that's actually older than any of the Marvel characters you just listed aside from Captain America. A legacy character (with some more famous examples being Flash, Green Lantern, Blue Beetle, Atom, Robin, Marvel's Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Human Torch, and various other characters, with even some of the ones you mentioned becoming legacy characters more recently) is a character whose alias is passed between multiple characters over time, sometimes with the new mantle-bearers operating side-by-side with the previous one, sometimes the previous ones retiring/dying, etc. Almost none of these characters started as legacy characters, but someone later on decided to create a new character to take up the mantle, or have a pre-existing character take up the mantle. This has been a thing in comics longer than you've been alive. Rejecting the possibility for other characters to become legacy characters is detrimental to the medium as a whole, as it creates stagnation and closes off pathways to new, interesting stories being told. Now, you can disagree with the way Marvel is turning some of their characters into legacy characters right now, or that they're doing too many at once, but outright rejecting anyone else, new or pre-existing, taking up the mantle is just closed-minded and stubborn
