Current times are challenging writers beyond the obvious, but for decades comic books creators had no problem in exploring lazy stereotypes from the merely stupid to the most dangerous ones. Let’s make a list of characters whose powers have a not-so-imaginative connection to their origins?
Jubilee: a chinese mutant that throws fireworks
Dust: a muslin afghan that turns into sand
Sunfire: a japanese from the hiroshima area with radioactive fire powers
Slipstream: an australian blonde dude that surfes warp waves.
