User blog:Peteparker/Phillipino Super-Team: Triumph Division

So the internets are a-buzz with talk of the inception and subsequent destruction of Marvel's first Filipino Super-Team. Anyone else feel shorted by their immediate deaths?

Not that I'm all that upset about it, or that I don't fully expect them all to be back in a matter of months due to fan-boy demand, but I'd say it's fairly rare to introduce an entire team and kill them immediately. And a team that a lot of people seemed to love right away at that.

Far be it from me to criticize this team or its implementation, but I've heard from others on the interwebs that there are problems with the way the Filipino people were depicted.


 * 1) Skin color was a bit dark for typical Filipinos.
 * 2) Most people were clothed in robes in Manila, and white ones at that, which apparently isn't true to that area of the country.
 * 3) Buddhist monks were the villains in an almost purely Catholic city. It seems that in our reality, they would have stood out like sore thumbs, but in 616, Buddhists roam the area.



Other memorable super-teams that hail from other countries include:


 * 1) Alpha Flight (including All the other flight teams) - Canada
 * 2) MI-13 now with 300% more Captain Britain! - England
 * 3) The Liberators (a mix of Europe from 1610) - Europe

Can anyone think of ones I missed?
