International Superheroes

[Lex]

A character who could connect to myth in general, not just Native American, might be better to show the “cultural melting pot” idea that is America, as his power would be a culmination of all those cultures that came together into ours. I mean, much more of our culture comes from elsewhere in the world; a lot more people have Christmas trees (something of largely German, though some other European, or origin) than go to a sweat lodge even once in their life. Speaking of more similar things, a lot more people go to Saunas, a Nordic idea, than sweat lodges.
As for the hero himself being Native American, there’s obviously nothing wrong with that. I’m just tired of seeing all Native American heroes be the same. I mean, it’s not even that it’s an offensive stereotype as much as it’s just boring. So, any fresh twist would be all right.

That’s good idea. Reading my own post back, even I thought it was kind of run-of-the-mill. I’ll see what I can add to it.
