I'm of Indian descent, and the closest I've ever gotten to having a well-known superhero also of Indian descent is freaking Spider-Man India (and before you mention Kamala Khan, keep in mind you'd be opening a massive can of worms if you do - kind of like with your Colombian-Puerto Rican thing, only more religious and bloodline-related). Since there's so little representation for people like me in the media, I've coped with it by latching on to character personalities, which is why Spider-Man (the Peter Parker version, mind you) is my favorite superhero. Thankfully, we are making steps in the right direction, so while it will take many years, I do believe we will see full representation eventually.

For the Indian heroes, I wasn't going to mention Kamala. I know there's a huge difference between Pakistani and Indian. However, there is Trinary, Indra Thunderbird of the X-Men, Raz Malhotra the current Giant-Man, Grid of the NuHumans, Pinpoint of the Champions and even a villain in Omega Sentinel. All actual Indian characters.

Us Puerto Ricans literally only have the White Tiger family (Hector, Ava and Angela) and Yo-Yo. And since Yo-Yo's been adapted as Colombian for the MCU, that only leaves us Boricuas with the White Tiger for representation.
