History CaptainEthnic / MarvelUniverse

* Isaiah Bradley, grandfather of the ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers''' Patriot, is basically what Captain America is, but for the black American community (his origin even involves the same government program). When he shows up at ComicBook/BlackPanther and ComicBook/{{Storm}}'s wedding, Falcon, Luke Cage, and Bill Foster are speechless; Wolverine has no idea who he is.

** The original lineup was a whole ''team'' of "[[CanadaEh Captain Canadas]]" as they each represent a different region/cultural aspect of Canada. Team leader and founder Guardian (who is consciously modelled after Captain America) is from Ontario, [[FishPeople aquatic alien]] Marrina grew up on the Atlantic coast, mutant twins Northstar and Aurora are French Canadians from Quebec (with Northstar a former separatist terrorist), GeniusBruiser Sasquatch is from British Columbia, Inuit demigoddess Snowbird is from the northern territories, Puck (as in hockey puck) is from Saskatchewan, Guardian's wife Vindicator is from Alberta, and [[MagicalNativeAmerican Shaman]] is also from Alberta while doing double-duty representing the First Nations.

* {{Averted|Trope}} with Comicbook/TheFalcon, one of the first major African-American superheroes[[note]]While Black Panther came before the Falcon, he's native African rather than African-American.[[/note]] (and the first one not to have the word "black" in his name), who frequently teamed up with Comicbook/CaptainAmerica. Yeah, he's black, but it's not his whole identity. Notably, when he was first drafted into Comicbook/TheAvengers, Sam was so upset when he found out Gyrich enlisted him [[TokenMinority exactly for this purpose]], that led him to quit.

* Sunfire, a Japanese hero with a "rising sun" motif whose origin was that his mother died after giving birth to him after Hiroshima (his first appearance being published in the late '60s), resulting in his uncle convincing him to take his revenge on the US. Later revealed to have a teenage younger sister, with the same mutant powers, fashion sense, grouchy personality and even homonymous codename, ''Sunpyre'' (Fire = Pyre, get it?).

* Most of the "all-new, all-different" ''Comicbook/XMen'' are exceptions; though they come from all around the world, most have heroic identities unrelated to their country of origin. The big exceptions are the previously-established Banshee, an Irishman dressed in green and named after [[SuperScream his screaming power]] (who had actually first appeared in the original series), Sunfire (who had also appeared before, as above), and Thunderbird, a Native American with an eagle/headdress theme; by the third issue, the latter two were gone. Sunfire quit because he didn't like the group (the feeling was mutual) and Thunderbird was killed off in a StupidSacrifice because his personality was so similar to ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} at the time that having both of them was deemed redundant.

** Though not necessarily Captain Ethnics themselves, many ethnic X-Men members were (and in some cases still are) unable to complete a sentence without using some word from their native language or local slang, for the sole purpose of reminding the reader that they are, indeed, from somewhere else. Of course such uses are rarely correct, face-palms abound when Brazilian readers see ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} dropping lines in Spanish (they speak Portuguese). The worst offender in recent years is Comicbook/{{Gambit}}, whose Cajun dialect ranges from "kind of annoying" to "downright incomprehensible." As far as writers go, Creator/ChrisClaremont tends to be the guiltiest of this.

* Also see Wasabi No-Ginger of the Japanese superteam ''ComicBook/BigHero6''. A katana-wielding chi-manipulating sushi chef whose codename combines two distinctive ingredients in Japanese cooking, he is essentially ''Comicbook/IronFist meets Series/IronChef''. Although to be fair, he's a master of ''every'' style of cooking. Big Hero 6 in general is made of stereotypes from Japanese media, particularly in its ''ComicBook/SunfireAndBigHero6'' days: its leader is a teenage boy genius (Hiro) with a robotic protector, a la ''Manga/GiantRobo'' or Gigantor (although Baymax isn't {{kaiju}} size...). who is implied to secretly be the resurrection of his deceased father in a mechanical body a la ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''; a ditzy supergenius (Honey Lemon) a la Mihoshi from ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', with an inexplicably blond-haired blue-eyed {{Fauxreigner}} appearance a la Kaere Kimura from ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' (which is implied by her off-panel {{backstory}} to be due to the result of a body switch, making her the Asian counterpart of the X-man ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}) with a super-science technomagic purse a la Manga/{{Doraemon}}; a juvenile-delinquent punk bad girl ([=GoGo=] Tamago) with a henshin-type voice-activated energy-transforming armor suit a la ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'''s Samus Aran; and a loner-slacker expy of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' badboy anti-hero Shinjiro (Fredzilla), who is apparently the avatar/host a la Manga/{{Naruto}} of an ancient monster spirit expy of Godzilla, which manifests itself exactly like the aforementioned Personas in the classic RPG series.

* Bloke from the Milligan-Allred run on ''Comicbook/XForce'' is an intentional parody, being a combination of so many gay stereotypes that he CrossesTheLineTwice. Originally being rainbow in color before permanently turning pink, Bloke loves musical theater and has impeccable taste in soft furnishings. And lives in San Francisco. And can usually be found in the gym. He also subverts this slightly by being an especially brutal and grim vigilante. Did we mention he's a great dancer and has many strong opinions about certain civil liberties? Also, he's British and his real name, Mickey Tork, is taken from two of Music/TheMonkees (Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork). When he dies, his lamentation that he's just "one less of 'my kind' to worry about" now is intentionally left ambiguous (meaning it isn't clear whether he's referring to homosexuals or mutants as "his kind"), and teammate Phat's reaction to this statement foreshadowed his own coming out of the closet.

** Minor ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'' villain Frog-Man, real name Francois [=LeBlanc=]... you can probably see where this is going (if you can't, "frog" is a derogatory term for a French person), but he looks incredibly frog-like even out of costume.

** In a ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'' issue of ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' we encountered [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Les_Heroes_de_Paris_(Earth-616) Les Heroes de Paris]]. Who went a different route: They were all thinly-veiled {{exp|y}}ies of the Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica. Only... well, French. Including ''Adamantine'' (French Franchise/{{Superman}} dressed in the Tricolore), ''Le Comte Nuit'' (a non-bat Franchise/{{Batman}}), ''La Lumiere Bleu'' (Franchise/GreenLantern, only blue) ''Le Phantome'' ("Who haunts the Louvre at night"- Looks like ComicBook/TheQuestion, with smoke for the face instead of a blank mask), ''Le Cowboy'' (Guess), ''Le Docteur Q'' (ComicBook/LexLuthor in his modern-era armorsuit), ''Anais'' (the Creator/HalleBerry-version of Film/{{Catwoman|2004}} crossed with ComicBook/{{Vixen}}), and ''Le Vent'' (The original concept of Golden Age [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash]] as a magic-based speedster). And ComicBook/TheThing, who had briefly joined them out of disgust for the actions his [[Comicbook/FantasticFour teammates]] had taken.

* In ''Comicbook/GhostRider'', it's revealed that every country has its own Rider, and each is tied heavily to local folklore and legend. The British rider is based on Spring-Heeled Jack, the Rider stalking Frankfurt for evil to punish is "shock-headed", the Rider protecting the shores of New Zealand is a Maori warrior, the Japanese rider is a bosozoku gang member with an oni motif, with even the American riders throughout the ages seem to encompass little more than era-specific tough guy stereotypes, including a vengeful Native American rider in the early 1800s, an entire Ghost Rider tank crew in WWII, trucker Devil Rig and muscle car enthusiast Hell Driver in the 70s, the hard-drinking Southern badass Penance Fist in the 80s, etc. Let's face it, considering how badass pretty much all of the above are, it might be an example of how to do it ''[[Administrivia/TropesAreTools right]]''.
* [[Comicbook/AvengersTheInitiative The 50 States Initiative]] gave every state its own superteam, and they tended to be arranged along these lines.

* In his first appearance in ''Comicbook/TheTombOfDracula'', {{Comicbook/Blade}} actually showed some signs of this, [[JiveTurkey using jive talk while everyone else used dictionary-standard English]]. His attitude may or may not have qualified, depending on how much leniency you want to give the writers (he was either an angry black man, or a hot-headed youth).

* And to non-Americans, Comicbook/CaptainAmerica himself is one. Given that the writers are American and he is a very well-fleshed-out character, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools this is not a bad thing at all.]]

* ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics, the young X-Man of Chinese descent whose mutant power was to... shoot fireworks. On the other hand, she was BookDumb and especially bad at math, so she definitely wasn't a stereotypical Asian-American.

* Most of the "all-new, all-different" ''Comicbook/XMen'' are exceptions; though they come from all around the world, most have heroic identities unrelated to their country of origin. The big exceptions are the previously-established Banshee, an Irishman dressed in green and named after [[MakeMeWannaShout his screaming power]] (who had actually first appeared in the original series), Sunfire (who had also appeared before, as above), and Thunderbird, a Native American with an eagle/headdress theme; by the third issue, the latter two were gone. Sunfire quit because he didn't like the group (the feeling was mutual) and Thunderbird was killed off in a StupidSacrifice because his personality was so similar to ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} at the time that having both of them was deemed redundant.

Of course such uses are rarely correct, and {{Critical Research Failure}}s abound when Brazilian readers see ComicBook/{{Sunspot}} dropping lines in Spanish (they speak Portuguese).

As far as writers go, Creator/ChrisClaremont tends to be the guiltiest of this.

** Afghan Muslim X-Girl was called Dust, and was originally intended to have suicide bomb powers before they were changed to "can change into sand that can flay flesh from bone." She's actually been rescued from the Captain Ethnic heap, thankfully, in part because of the respectful way the comics depicted her choice to wear her ''niqab''. She still suffers from a few {{Critical Research Failure}}s, however, in that she speaks Arabic when almost all Afghans speak Pashtun or Persian. Even as a ''second'' language, Arabic is less common in Afghanistan than ''English''. Though this actually makes her ''less'' "ethnic" in the sense that not having her speak any of the major Afghan languages means she can't be clearly tied to a specific ethnic group (of which Afghanistan has many).

* Originally, American Eagle fit this trope -- aside from being a beneficiary of [[ILoveNuclearPower happy, shiny comic-book radiation]] rather than a MagicalNativeAmerican. Then "DependingOnTheWriter" [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap helped him escape]] from the trope. The modern character averts the trope pretty well - he's a Native American who happens to be super-strong rather than a stereotype. (He's also such a minor character that few readers remembered him, up until his CurbStompBattle with ComicBook/{{Bullseye|MarvelComics}} during Marvel's Civil War.)

* Similar to the above example is a ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} story wherein he is recruited by the Canadian government to be Canadaman, alongside Canadian superheroes Puck-man, Moositaur, Beaver, and Ms. Puck-man. The team, sans Deadpool, is presumably killed in the team's maple leaf-shaped plane after Deadpool learns that he was the second choice, the first being Wolverine.

** The original lineup was a whole ''team'' of "[[CanadaEh Captain Canadas]]" as they each represent a different region/cultural aspect of Canada. Team leader and founder Guardian (who is consciously modelled after Captain America) is from Ontario, [[FishPeople aquatic alien]] Marrina grew up on the Atlantic coast, mutant twins Comicbook/{{Northstar}} and Aurora are French Canadians from Quebec (with Northstar a former separatist terrorist), GeniusBruiser Sasquatch is from British Columbia, Inuit demigoddess Snowbird is from the northern territories, Puck (as in hockey puck) is from Saskatchewan, Guardian's wife Vindicator is from Alberta, and [[MagicalNativeAmerican Shaman]] is also from Alberta while doing double-duty representing the First Nations.

** Quite a few of them crossed the line from stereotype to ''offensive'' stereotype -- e.g. a German character named "Blitzkrieg". AllGermansAreNazis, indeed. Granted, he's a German with lightning powers and "Blitzkrieg" means "lightning war", but given the Nazi connotations (which are even greater in the Marvel Universe, seeing as during WWII there was also a lightning-themed Nazi supervillain who used the name)[[note]]Via retcon, this was even the first costumed supervillain Captain America ever fought.[[/note]] it was a really terrible choice. The ''Podcast/HouseToAstonish'' podcast has speculated that either 1980s West Germany was a ''very'' different place in the Marvel Universe than it was in real life, or this guy was completely ostracised by the German superhero community, and was either too thick to see the problem or was a {{Troll}} who revelled in it.

** One arc featured the team trekking across the globe and running afoul of local heroes in various countries -- like the Italian Omerta, a monk who has taken a vow of silence. "Omerta" is Italian for silence, but it's also used to refer to the code of secrecy in TheMafia.

* ''ComicBook/{{Static}}'' Creator Creator/{{Dwayne McDuffie}} sent his colleagues at Marvel this pointed, very funny fake pitch in the late 80s: [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2008/01/17/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-138/ here]].

* Most of the characters introduced in ''Marvel Super Hero ComicBook/ContestOfChampions''. This book started out as an Olympics special, only to be repurposed after the USA declined to participate in the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics.

* Also see Wasabi No-Ginger of the Japanese superteam ''ComicBook/BigHero6''. A katana-wielding chi-manipulating sushi chef whose codename combines two distinctive ingredients in Japanese cooking, he is essentially ''Comicbook/IronFist meets Series/IronChef''. Although to be fair, he's a master of ''every'' style of cooking. Big Hero 6 in general is made of stereotypes from Japanese media, particularly in its ''ComicBook/SunfireAndBigHero6'' days: its leader is a teenage boy genius (Hiro) with a robotic protector, a la ''Manga/GiantRobo'' or Gigantor (although Baymax isn't {{kaiju}} size...). who is implied to secretly be the resurrection of his deceased father in a mechanical body a la ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''; a ditzy supergenius (Honey Lemon) a la Mihoshi from ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', with an inexplicably blond-haired blue-eyed {{Fauxreigner}} appearance a la Kaere Kimura from ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' (which is implied by her off-panel {{backstory}} to be due to the result of a body switch, making her the Asian counterpart of the X-man ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}) with a super-science technomagic purse a la Manga/{{Doraemon}}; a juvenile-delinquent punk bad girl ([=GoGo=] Tamago) with a henshin-type voice-activated energy-transforming armor suit a la ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'''s Samus Aran; and a loner-slacker expy of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' badboy anti-hero Shinjiro (Fredzilla), who is apparently the avatar/host a la Manga/{{Naruto}} of an ancient monster spirit expy of Godzilla, which manifests itself exactly like the aforementioned Personas in the classic RPG series.

** The original lineup was a whole ''team'' of "[[CanadaEh Captain Canadas]]", with [[MagicalNativeAmerican Shaman]] doing double duty as "Captain First Nations". For instance, the aqua alien Marrina is from the province of Newfoundland, the twins Aurora and ComicBook/{{Northstar}} are French Canadians from Quebec (with Northstar as a former separatist terrorist), Sasquatch is from British Columbia (and is thus a big, hairy Canadian scientist and former football player), Snowbird is from the north territories and Guardian (who is consciously modelled after Captain America) and Puck (as in hockey puck -- he's short, fast, and hard! -- although it is sometimes claimed he is named after the Shakespeare character) are from Ontario.
** Snowbird is also the half-white daughter (but who looks perfectly all-white) of Nelvanna (expy of Nelvana of the Northern Lights, a 1940s Canadian comic-book superheroine, herself a kind of Inuit demigoddess), which would also make her an "Exotic Goddess" of a sort.
** And Yukon Jack, who comes from a secret hidden tribe of long-lived First Nation/Native Americans (who are literally like a magical version of the Inhumans or the Wakandans) in the Yukon... who prefers to go around wearing just a loincloth (the Yukon territory is just east of Alaska, by the way; the actual First Nations tribes in the Yukon dress quite sensibly to deal with the cold).

* Sweet Christmas! Marvel's very own, [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirt open to the waist]], huge afro-haired, [[JiveTurkey jive-talking]] {{blaxploitation}} character [[ComicBook/LukeCage Power Man]]! He tends to be a lot less over-the-top in recent Marvel titles, although the MAX series ''Cage'' went even further into blaxploitation than the original, which led to it being declared CanonDiscontinuity. The modern character combines BaldOfAwesome, ScaryBlackMan, JerkWithAHeartOfGold and MadeOfIron; has abandoned the slightly-goofy 'Power Man' in favor of simply calling himself 'Luke Cage'; fights crime in a tank top and hiking boots; and regards his yellow-disco-shirt-and-Afro days as an in-universe OldShame.

** In ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', various civilians and passers-by refer to Sam as "Black Falcon", which he corrects them on. Arguably, the whole show serves as an [[{{Deconstruction}} examination of how it feels to be a superhero and a member of a minority group:]] by the end of it, Sam refuses to be defined by his ethnicity, but is still proud of his culture and neighbourhood, and acknowledges that he faces additional challenges to those Steve Rogers did. [[{{Reconstruction}} By the end of the series, Isaiah Bradley (a character who had previously argued that no self-respecting African-American should ever be a superhero) is supportive of Sam going forward.]]
-->'''Eli Bradley:''' What up, Black Falcon?\\

* Minor ''ComicBook/Eternals'' character Ceyote is another example of a stereotypical Native American. His bird-themed costume includes a masked, horned war bonnet with trailing feathers.

* Also see Wasabi No-Ginger of the Japanese superteam ''ComicBook/BigHero6''. A katana-wielding chi-manipulating sushi chef whose codename combines two distinctive ingredients in Japanese cooking, he is essentially ''[[ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist Iron Fist]] meets Series/IronChef''.

* At one point, ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} ran into Batroc and the Tarantula's daughters, using their respective father's gimmicks. Tasky soundly thrashed the villainesses, stating "I hate ethnic stereotypes".
