"This is not just about having a gay character," DiDio said. "We're trying for overall diversity in the DC universe. We have strong African-American, Hispanic and Asian characters. We're trying to get a better cross-section of our readership and the world."


....I've been out of the comic book scene, the only Hispanic super hero I can think of is Speedy Gonzales, and I can't think of an Asian one.

Someone help me out here.

Some other from Marvel: (okay, some only heroes depending on how you look at things)

Hispanic
Angel Salvatore
Arana
Calypso
Firebird
La Lunatica
Magma
Saint Anna
Skin
Sunspot
Tarantula
Wraith
Victor Mancha

Asian
Arclight
Psylocke (Kwannon version)
Cerebra
Jubilee
Lady Deathstrike
Lady Lotus
Mandarin
Meanstreak
Mondo
Radioactive Man
Shang Chi
Silver Samurai
Sunpyre
Surge
Turbo
Wicked
Xi'an
Xorn
Yukio

Native American
Echo (she's actually listed as a Latin Native American)
Forge
Mirage
Shaman
Snowbird
Thunderbird
Warpath
Wyatt Wingfoot
Yukon Jack

Course it should be noted that race/ethnicity is often left ambigious with many comic characters. Some also change race through retconning (like Psylocke and my favorite is Snowbird who has blond hair and blue eyes because she's mutant Native American).

I think Echo is part native american and part hispanic, her last name is Lopez after all.

And I purposely left Jubilee off my list for ethical reasons.

Um...all hispanics are part native american. That's partly why they're considered an ethnic group, not a race. They're a sub-part of the white/caucasian race with some native american heritage that is different enough culturally to merit being distinguished.

And, I guess, listing Jubilee was just too close to breaking her role of not saying or doing anything.

No, listing Jubilee shows your hidden desire for her to say and do things.
