美國隊長變黑人？！ 漫畫英雄迎來"多元"時代

Black Captain America leading comic book diversity

For decades, comic books have been in color, but now they truly reflect all the hues of American society.

幾十年來,漫畫書一直都是彩色印刷,但直到今天,他們才真正反映了美國社會的多元色彩.

The new Captain America is black. A Superman who is suspiciously similar to President Barack Obama recently headlined a comic book. Thor is a woman, Spider-Man is part-Puerto Rican and Ms. Marvel is Muslim.

最近新問世的"美國隊長"（Captain America ）是黑人.超人最近登上了漫畫書的頭條,他看起來很像奧巴馬總統.雷神托爾（Thor）變成了一位女士,蜘蛛俠則有波多黎各血統,而驚奇女士（Ms. Marvel）是個穆斯林.

Mainstream comic book superheroes — America's modern mythology — have been redrawn from the stereotypical brown-haired, blue-eyed white male into a world of multicolored, multireligious and multigendered crusaders to reflect a greater diversity in their audience.

漫畫書中那些主流的超級英雄享有"美國現代神話"的美稱.他們已經擺脫了老一套的棕發藍眼的白人男性的固有形象,轉而變成來自多種民族和有著多種宗教信仰的斗士,且男女皆有.這反映了漫畫書日趨多元化的讀者群體.

Society has changed, so superheroes have to as well, said Axel Alonso, editor in chief at Marvel Comics, who in November debuted Captain America No. 1 with Samuel Wilson, the first African American superhero taking over CaptainAmerica's red, white and blue uniform and shield.

漫威漫畫公司總編阿克塞爾·阿隆索（Axel Alonso）表示,社會在變,因此超級英雄的形象也需要隨之改變.他在11月份首推美國隊長1號（Captain America No. 1）塞繆爾·威爾遜,首位非裔美國"超級英雄",接過美國隊長的紅白藍三色制服和盾牌.

"Roles in society aren't what they used to be. There's far more diversity," said Alonso, who has also shepherded a gay wedding in the X-Men, a gender change from male to female in Thor and the first mainstream female Muslim hero in Ms. Marvel.
