So your concern now is if a white character doesn't have superpowers he is represented as having character flaws, Whereas a Black and Asian character are being shown as non-powered and flawless as part of a political agenda - despite the fact that Black Panther DOES have superpowers and you know absolutely nothing about Shang-chi other than his race. Hilarious. From 1940s to the 2000s Bucky had no powers. After the experiments he became Winter Soldier. That has been since the mid 2000s No, but you refer to the Marvel Universe not the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No point in saying you meant the MCU, because you bring up Conan - a non-MCU character - as the only example where a white guy fits the non-superpower category. And Conan has been becoming less white recently himself.
I think he is supposed to be Celtic or something.
Black Panther did not originally have superpowers though. Yes he has a fancy hi-tech costume now, but he didn't originally.
Like Shang-Chi, his natural athleticism was enough. Not so with batman I should point out. He is a tool-user like Iron Man.
Luke Cage is another one.
What about Iron Fist? Let me check..
"Plunging his fists into the molten heart of the dragon Shou-Lao the Undying infused the dragon's superhuman energy into Rand. This, along with being trained by Lei Kung the Thunderer, gave Rand the power of the Iron Fist, allowing him to summon and focus his chi energy (also called natural energy or life force energy) to enhance his natural abilities to extraordinary levels. His strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes and senses can all be greatly intensified, almost comparable to superhuman levels."
Ok he didnt start out all-natural either. What a surprise.
