The artist John Jomita jr once said in an interview how much he was keen on working with writer Chuck Dixon on the Punisher because Frank Castle is the only Marvel hero of Italian American descent. He was kinda wrong, because he forgot about Nick Fury, but nevertheless both of these characters are now, effectively, dead. Marvel has a whole bunch of Irish/Scotish, Hindu, Jewish, black and/or whatever protagonists, but the Italians are only fit to be in the Maggia. Marvel has NEVER catered to their actual reading audience. It's always been activist propaganda from some of the biggest losers the west has seen.
Hm, interesting. There's a character called Blue Shield in the City of Heroes game and that had to change a character previously named Bastion to Citadel due to Marvel complaining about copyright.
