Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But comics are for men! She better be scantily clad.

Falcon is the new Captain America! Marvel isn't fucking around. Maybe this whole week is just Thor is a woman and Captain America is black and Iron Man is gay and Daredevil is blind wait.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

On the disabilities front Bruce Banner is currently brain-damaged and I think the plan was for Hawkeye to be deaf by now (though with the multiple delays it may turn out to be a natural consequence of aging instead of injury by a villain). It does kind of feel like Marvel Editorial is playing a game of diversity bingo, even if the end result is a trend I approve of.

Oh right! I remember Fraction saying that.

Hm, they didn't go for the trifecta and make Iron Man gay after all. Instead they're going Dark Stark or something.

A preview of the new Batgirl comic.

I'm liking what I see. How old is Babs supposed to be? (or for that matter, Black Canary?) I know that Babs is de-aged from the pre-New-52 version of her, but is she younger than the post-new-52 Gail Simone version?
