WOCtoberfest is a celebration going on around tumblr dedicated to celebrating Women of Color in comics, so in honor of this, I’ve compiled a list of all the characters I can think of who are currently in comics. I know I’ve missed some so feel free to add on your additions below.

In Part 1 we covered DC Comics, and now we’re heading over to Marvel. I know I missed a few here so like I said above, feel free to add any below that you want to share.

Marvel Comics

Storm

Perhaps the most well known WOC in comics, Storm can currently be seen in her own series, “Storm,” as head of the Jean Grey School in “Wolverine and the X-Men,” as well as a member of the X-Men in “Amazing X-Men” and leader of her own team in the adjectiveless “X-Men.” Plus she is going to play a very large part in “Axis.” Appearing in this many titles it’s hard to argue that Storm is not the first lady of Marvel Comics.

Ms Marvel

Kamala Khan is a super hero fan who grew up leading an average life for a Pakistani girl from New Jersey. Until she got exposed to a strange mist that gave her shape shifting powers. She now protects Jersey as the new “Ms Marvel,” taking the old name of her hero Carol Danvers. You can read all about her in the Ms Marvel series.

Captain Universe

Captain Universe is a being that is tied directly to the universe, basically the master of it all making them the most powerful being in existence. It is more of a force than an actual person that inhabits one person when they are in need and when the universe is at stake, and currently the possessor of this title and this power is Tamara Devoux, a woman who spent the last ten years in a coma after losing her daughter in a car crash. You can find her popping up to deliver cryptic messages in “Avengers.”

Silk

Cindy Moon was bitten by the same spider that gave Peter Parker his powers and as a result she not only gained similar powers, but also found herself tapped into the same Thread of Life and connected to the Spider-Totem that links all webslingers across this world and those beyond. Her speed is faster than Pete and her Spider-Sense is stronger as well. She spent thirteen years in a bunker in order to keep the Totem vampire Morlun from finding her and killing her to gain unlimited power, but now that she’s been freed she’s ready to explore the world again and she’s currently doing so in “Amazing Spider-Man” the upcoming “Spider-Woman” and will be a major player in the “Spider-Verse” crossover.

Georgia Dakei

A mutant with the power to manipulate water, mostly that inside other people, her adopted father kept her locked up in his base and tried to keep her from reaching the outside world. Finally she was rescued by X-Factor and has joined their team. You can find her in “All New X-Factor.”

Beetle

Janice Lincoln grew up as the daughter of Tombstone, the ruthless supervillain and mobster. She became a high powered attorney but gave it all up to follow her dream… of becoming an even bigger super villain and mobster than her old man. She’s currently a member of the Sinister Six in the hilarious “Superior Foes of Spider-Man” and is the only member of the team with a grain of sense, yet still finds herself having a fast one pulled over on her by her idiotic leader Boomerang.

Naja and Xiaoyi

Marvel’s “Inhuman” series has introduced several new superheroes, roughly eighty percent of which are POC from all over the globe. Two of these characters include Naja, a woman with reptilian like attributes including the power to glide on wings and a chameleon reflex that lets her vanish, and Xiaoyi, a woman with mysterious destructive powers that was able to wipe out an entire village.

Radiance

The granddaughter of the WW2 super hero “Golden Girl," Ryoko Sabuki is one of the most popular pop singers and actresses in Japan and is currently seen working alongside the "All-New Invaders."

The New Warriors

The New Warriors features three WOC on its roster. Aracely/Hummingbird, a young woman who is possessed by the Aztec god of War and can inflict fear on anyone, as well as read minds and float (and despite these creepy powers is still energetic and optimistic enough to send Squirrel Girl running). Selah Burke/Sun Girl, the daughter of a super villain who learned how to alter her father’s inventions to make is into a jetpack that fires out solar blast. And Silhouette, a teleporter who can manipulate the Darkforce dimension, and despite having been shot and losing the use of her legs, is still one of the most skilled martial artist in the Marvel universe (she actually learned how to fight with crutches to invent her own form of martial arts).

Angie Huang

She-Hulk’s newest assistant (who can be seen in "She-Hulk”), Angie is a mystery, she doesn’t say much, she has a pet monkey Hei-Hei, and problems seem to disappear around her and she’s been killed and then showed back up like nothing happened. So I might not know what’s up with her, but whatever it is, it’s something big.

The Students of the Jean Grey School

The students of the Jean Grey School (Which can be found in “Wolverine and the X-Men”) include several WOC. Lin Li, Nature Girl, is a new mutant with the ability to talk to animals. Jia Jing, Sprite, is a very studious young girl with the powers of flight and can turn her body to stone. Idie Okonkwo, Oya, was a Nigerian mutant who thought she was a witch when her powers developed. Iara dos Santos, Shark Girl, is a Brazilian girl who can turn into a humanoid shark and enjoys this so much she rarely goes back to being human. And Hisako Ichiki, Armor, was a former student who is now part of the faculty with the power to form an energized suit of armor around her.

Jubilee and M

Jubilee is a former mutant who lost her powers, but was transformed into a vampire so she still possesses abilities that let her fight along side the X-Men. She is currently raising her adopted son, Shogo. And Monet St Croix, better known as M, is a new addition to the all female X-Men team and possesses a long list of powers as well as a very high opinion of herself to match. Both of these characters in addition to Storm can currently be found in “X-Men”

Spectrum and White Tiger

Spectrum/ Monica Rambeau was a cop who was gifted with the powers to turn into and manipulate any type of energy, giving her super speed and nearly an unlimited range of energy attacks. She was a former leader of the Avengers, and continues to serve as field leader of the new Mighty Avengers. Also on this team is White Tiger/ Ava Ayala, a girl whose family has carried the title of White Tiger and gains speed, strength, agility, and expert combat skills from the Tiger Talisman she wears. Both these characters can be found in Mighty Avengers, which will soon be rebranded as “Captain America and the Mighty Avengers.”
