I’m writing a story about a biracial superhero. He’s in his 20s, and his dad is a extremely wealthy Black businessman. His mom is Japanese, and she comes from a wealthy family. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is something about his family’s history that resurfaces, and it connects to his powers. He is basically trying to find out what it is. My friend says the story is stupid and no one would want to read it.

You mean Marvel, the company that created such notables as:

  • Dr Bong, the villain who encased his head in a steel bell?
  • Vamp/Animus, the woman with the power to turn into a man? (Or possibly vice versa)
  • Starfox, the hero who could psychically activate your brain's pleasure centre?

Credit where it's due, they were willing to throw everything at the wall to see what stuck.
