    Off the top of my head Cecilia Reyes!

    Also would like to see Skin get some more use.

    Sunspot!

    I think others like Cecilia, Wind Dancer, and Rictor need more development though.

    The X-Men really sucks when it comes to Latinos though.

    What about Magma? She's from Brazil, right?

    She is from Nova Roma so it doesn't count. Only Magma from X-Men Evolution is 100% Brazilian.

    The only Latin American mutants that I know are Windancer, Skin, Rictor, Cecelia Reyes, Sunspot, Velocidad, Risque, Feral, Thorn, Tag, Sharkgirl and Bandera.

    Wait, which episode confirmed that Magma is Brazilian? Genuine question, I honestly don't remember. Magma episodes were so rare.

    But is it bad if people use it to describe themselves?

    I thought anyone from a Spanish or Portuguese speaking nation in Central or South America counted. And is Nova Roma technically Latin?

    I did always find it questionable they'd make an Amazonian hero White instead of Native Amazonian

    None of the Latinx characters Hebe ever really been on the main team.

    The only one getting any recent development is Rictor. He still needs more. As the mutants join the MCU they are going to have to fix this.

    Cecilia was technically part of at least two main X-Men team but no character development other than resident doctor . Rictor has had pleanty of character development throught the years, they just choose to make angst (and bad fashion) his main personality.

    Sunspot is my fav X-Latinx but I'd like to see Cecelia Reyes, Skin, Darwin, and Risque get more use.

    The term Latinx is divisive for us latin Americans. If you want to be inclusive latin american is a non binari term already.


    Anyway my favorites are Rictor, Sunspot, Cecelia and Sofia.
