He was a blonde white guy named Jack Wheeler. TV show race swapped him, like they do with a lot of characters.
Wheeler's name is mentioned in the trivia section of your Ramirez link.
Sure, but my point is that Rick's first appearance as the character was back in 2016. I'm guessing they kept the comic character a blonde white guy for the J6 plot as that happened less than 4 years ago. Both DC and Marvel have changed legacy characters due to live action adaptation, "MCU Synergy" if a term thrown around for that like with the Eternals changing their lineup to match the failed movie.
To the surprise of nobody here that didn't happen when the comics wanted to portray J6 bad and "white man bad" by pairing the two.
