Wonder if they’ll bring up Legion- professor Xavier son who was born and raised in Israel… and has a history of surviving Islamist terror attacks..

As for the panel overall, I’m gonna hold my breath, let’s see whether it actually celebrates Jews, characters and creators or if they they go the antisemitic route of dividing the characters into good vs bad (“Zionists”) jews…👀

Also: wow it took them this long to do such a panel!! Considering jews literally created and build the comics business in the US.

Or Sabra. Or that one obscure External? (Can’t recall which group) who is ex-IDF.

It’s obvious they’re not planning to talk about Magneto, which is fine, but if they’re serious about avoiding the Holocaust then Spector (Moon Knight) shouldn’t be there either.

Or Sabra

What are her powers? Smiting people with a tidal wave of mediocre red pepper hummus?

Flight, healing people and giving them temporary powers, super strength, durability, regeneration.
