if so, I'm guessing he's mixed. he's been drawn to look someone middle-eastern or even indian/Pakistani. I could also see him being Mexican, Nicaraguan, or Honduran. Spencer already confirmed Beetle to be part black (her dad) and part Dominican (her mother). the coloring in Superior Foes was a little off though. Abe was just as dark skinned as Overdrive, for instance. and, sometimes, Shocker was too.
I like all of the characters (Ai Apaec was an instant favorite). but that team is way too large. I've read books with large casts. it never really works for me. 6-7 max is my preference. if it's a rotating cast, that's good. I could also see the Tombstone storyline work by itself in a superior foes book; as opposed to Tbolts. I feel as if Black Widow would never allow his secret agenda to grow; like she wouldn't even take the risk of having him and Beetle on the same team.
