No matter how many superheroes join the anti-immigrant cause, we (i.e. fearless Latinos) can always count on a new muchacha in town, who will kick the ass of immigrant haters… should that be necessary.
Meet the new Spider Girl -aka Anya Corazón- a 16-year-old high-school student of Latino descent who lives in -where else?- Gotham.
According to creators, Marvel Comics, Anya Corazón provides “a positive, modern image of an empowered young woman.” But I like to think of her more like a tough señorita, who will use her superpowers to take on your Seagals and your Ferrignos.
And wait until she hooks up with this guy: There’s going to be a lot of Paf! Pum! Zas!
Why do I feel like I heard about her before?
Yeah, me too. They talked about it a while ago but I guess it didn’t launch until this week.
They have been talking about it forever but it was not successful before. I guess Marvel is trying again!

First mission: Phoenix. Second mission: Alaska. Third mission: Glenn Beck’s studio.
Is Texas anywhere on her list of missions? I saw a bumper sticker just this morning that said, “Born in Texas; Not in Tejas.” Why did I ever move to this hick state?
