Wakanda the metaphor is innate. So no whitewashing there.
'Whitewashing' - is that what they call it? What's the name for changing a Caucasian to something else?

Quote:
Heimdal is different as his original nordic roots even suggest he was of a bronze-ish sheen in nature. People still complained though. But again, Asgard was written as an Alien race that vikings thought were gods, etc.
He was always white, there was never any part of his nordic mythology that said otherwise. And I don't see why the whole re-write of lore couldn't work just as easily on Wakanda.

Quote:
It varies character to character. But Matt Trakker is on that open list where it's not part of his innate metaphor or persona.
True, but since they already had a character (Hondo - my personal favourite- who drove my favourite vehicle - the Hurricane) they could just as easily have had him in charge of MASK rather than just race switch a pre-existing character for no apparent reason.

But I still don't have an answer to my original question: what prominent Marvel (DC?) characters that are non-white could you see being 'whitewashed'?
