Psylock is a Japanese ninja, although she was originally a British woman. I've never been too clear on how she changed ethnicities like that.

Yeah these sort of things have kinda been building for a while. The cover of Avengers #35 hinted at these changes coming.
More Unworthy Thor and Falcon Cap on the cover.
Yup. If not then, it will happen after whatever the Hickman Avengers titles are building towards wraps up (which seems to be next summer).

The current Wraith is Japanese. Dunno about the "famous" part.

I'm not too fond of Steve after that Avengers vs. X-men nonsense.
I think it's pretty cool. More interesting than Bucky as Cap, at least, and I like that they're capitalizing on his popularity in The Winter Soldier. He was always super lame beforehand, but Mackie really nailed it. I wouldn't mind if they had him take up the mantle in future movies.
Wings + shield looks pretty stupid though, I'm gonna be honest.

I guess be isn't that famous, but Amadeus Cho is pretty cool.

Did you read the beginning of this run?
Marvel likes to synergize everything with the movie properties they control. At the very least Rogers is back at the time Cap 3 comes out.

What if Batman was given super soldier serum?
Both companies do this sort of thing every other year

Hmmm, okay, let's see how this goes.
Marvel is going really hard for the newly emerging online "fandom" demographic with a lot of these changes. I'm not saying that's good or bad, but it's definitely a thing now.
At the end of the day, the original Cap will still be Cap. (Just like original Thor will be Thor.) But it will be interesting to see where they go with these new takes on the "characters".

Anyway... Time to start drawing up teams.
#TeamRogers
Kinda looks reminiscent of my girlfriend... I should get her that outfit. Y'know for... comic con... and stuff.

Ah. Well it will be cool to see briefly. Hopefully it can be as good and fresh as Dick Grayson Batman and DC 1 million... both by Grant Morrison I just realized, hah.

I look forward to the return of Rogers. Or something. Really I just care about the story.

Without going to Wikipedia, if I remember right, she had to transfer her consciousness in to her current body for some reason.
You must be new to comics.

this is no longer a leap of faith. (thankfully)
a choice that would surely test the waters would be an arab-american captain america.

Don't forgot Amadeus Cho, his power is being Hercules' bro! Oh and he's smart, but the important thing is that Hercules is the shit!
Shang Chi taught Spider-man Kung-Fu!
Sunfire is like Human Torch....but weaker and life run through the shitter the past couple years like losing his legs, depowered, being turned into an Apocalypse horsemen, getting the shit kicked out of him by various heroes, and ending up as a drunken hobo in the streets! (I think he's an avenger now, so he might be turning that frown upside down!)
Silver Samurai who's power is to get beaten by Wolverine whenever his story arc takes him anywhere near japan!

I guess that's our confirmation that new Thor is NOT Angela. Is that from an article somewhere?

Nico Minoru is a kickass character who was also in the running for Sorcerror Surpreme. She happens to be asian of japanese descent.
I don't really have a problem with these changes that Marvel is bringing about currently.

Yes and Captain America was a hypocritical douchebag in that event. But that's what happens during big Marvel event. People are written terribly out if character.
Look at the character assassination that happen to Tony during civil war.
So i guess this means Angela is not the new Thor.

Falcon's suit is fucking horrible.
No I am talking about Cap's new run when he got sent to another dimension? I don't pay much attention to the big events because of what you just said.
