Marvel Characters of Mixed Race

[Michael Watkins]

You forgot the character with the mixture of all races.

is that a polite way of saying that her mother was a turnstyle?

[WebLurker]

Anyway, on to the characters, isn't Psylocke also mixed?

A lot of adaptations seem to make Psylocke of Japanese decent and leave it of that, skipping the complications of that 616 Psylocke's existence of being stuck in someone else's body makes. I wouldn't even know where to begin analyzing if she qualifies as biracial or not; she would be labeled as Japanese on a genetic level, but her consciousness/mind/soul are of a white person (specifically British). Is being a composite of two people of two different ethnic backgrounds/races enough to qualify as biracial?

On the other hand, in the X-Men movies, Psylocke may actually be biracial; she was played by Olivia Munn in Apocalypse, who's half white and half Vietnamese by way of China.

Speaking of X-Men movies in regards to this subject, Laura/"X23-23" (from Logan) would seem to fit the bill as well, being half white (Canadian) and half Latina (Mexican). (This is reasoned from the movie's description of her origins. She was apparently born through some form of in vitro fertilization. At any rate, Wolverine, a white character, provided the paternal DNA, while her mother was described as being Mexican. That would be a change from the 616 comics, where Laura was a clone of Wolverine and her surrogate mother was white, too.)

She's half Kenyan and Half Black American. That line you're alluding to is stupid as hell.

I have seen some characters who are of mixed ancestry/race in Marvel Universe such as...

I can't think of many Marvel characters that aren't of mixed ancestry.

Could just be me, though.

Technically Latino characters are biracial or multiracial by default.

Technically, a loooooot of people are and don't realize it.

Alot are and alot are not.

I read in real life most latino's in u.s. are classified as white.
About 53%.
In comics like dc and marvel for example most tend to be poc in the u.s.and some are not bi-racial.

[mace11]

Alot of south asian types and some arabs,some persians and some berbers for example have intermediate/bi-racial looking phenotypes.
Some of these brown race types tend to look closer to white,some look closer to black and some right in the middle.
Kamala khan is right in the middle i think.
Stormfront types and racist pseudo scientist like to classified brown raced types as caucasian/whites.
They like to say they are brown caucasians and those with common sense know they are incorrect and full of non-sense.

[Kurolegacy]

Spider-Girl (Anya Corazon) = Half Puerto Rican, Half Mexican
Spider-Woman (Ashley Barton) = Half African-American, Half Caucasian
Spider-Man (Gabri O'Hara) =Quarter Mexican, Quarter Irish, Half African-American

[mace11]

By the way Synapse (Emily Guerrero) from uncanny avengers is latino but has a white looking latino father from what i remember.
Spiderman 2099 is latino and irish but heard/read that his latino parent is white,not a poc.
So he is not bi-racial.

which is black . don't engage. he knows what he is doing and he knows storm is not a mixture of all races.

Right. It was a play on an old joke from Boondocks.

It's one of those very stupid things that Claremont inserted into Storm's genetic make up.

It's also one of the many reasons that people like me (mostly black with a touch of white) roll our eyes at the assertion that the X-men was a real minority metaphor.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was confused as hell but I should have known was about Storm. Lol.
