The superhero world is moving into the 21th century, finally. In the world of comic books, it seemed to be an unwritten rule that lead heroes had to be Caucasian and male. Few comics featured woman as heroes and even fewer female leads received mainstream attention. Even fewer still were anything other than Caucasian. However, things are changing quite a bit. Marvel recently announced that Thor is getting a new look and a new sex. Thor will be a woman. The second announcement is a change to Captain America. Steve Rogers will no longer don the Captain America mantle, instead the shield will be taken up by African-American Sam Wilson, also known as The Falcon .

Not long after the Thor announcement was made, Joss Whedon hit the Twitterverse to nominate Katee Sackhoff to play the new female God of Thunder .



What do you think of the changes? Should they switch a character’s gender mid-series? If they do, what would think of Sackhoff as Thor?
