Usually moreso when it's a character of a different race or gender taking over a title than when an established character is changed to reflect more diversity, if only because the latter rarely sticks. Then again, I'm still in the camp that creating new characters to add diversity to superhero lineups is the happiest medium. Storm, Black Panther, John Stewart, Barbara Gordon (most people forget Bill Dozier had her created specifically to attract an audience of girls to his TV show); these characters have become iconic. How long was Ultimate Tony Stark a Latino before that whole thing was retconned as a piece of metafiction? Other than Ultimate Nick Fury, how many race/gender changes have really stuck around?

As for your comment about the political leanings of the comic book industry skewing left, Frank Miller is trying his darndest to prove otherwise.

Why'd it take so long for this to make its way from Youtube to Wiki?
