People are also quick to point out characters that fit the diversity bill that should be in the wave, but over look the other reasons why Hasbro might have chosen more popular heroes to put in the wave instead.

But I don't think what's happening here is any different than Doctor Strange's wave, which was filled out with 3 different versions of Strange himself and 3 comic book characters who only kinda sorta are related to Strange because they also do magic, but probably got made because Hasbro felt they'd be better themed here than making other side characters from Dr. Strange's history like movie/comic Wong or a comic Cleo. It's called the Dr. Strange wave, but the truth was it was really a "Magic and Mysticism wave featuring Dr. Strange", much like this Black Panther wave is really the "Illuminati wave featuring Black Panther".

i agree !!! just because the character and movie is about a black character and cast doesn't necessarily mean every toy in the wave needs to be a black action figure and or character. as i said in my prior post it is odd to have those two particular characters in the BP wave, however hasbro is looking at the business prospective of things. some people will buy black bolt and some will buy namor. that's just how it is. once again this is a TOY LINE for CHILDREN. not men in their mid 20s to late 40s.... it just so happens some of us middle age guys like these and collect these too.
