There's no superhero image, but one of Billy Batson's foster siblings is latin Pedro Peña, who gets superpowers at the end of the film
One of Captain Planet Planeteers, Ma-Ti, was from Brazil.

It's absolutely hysterical that the Pumaman from The Pumaman is on the list. A film that often makes many people's worst movie ever. And one of the most iconic Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes ever.

I am sure you agree celebrating your cultural and historic contributions means all of it and not whitewashing the aspects you don't want or not proud of. The Live Poll: Favorite Black Movie Superhero Character? had similar entries, as I sure the PS: Favorite Asian Multimedia Superhero Character? will too.



As Pencho points out,
El Santo and El Chapulín Colorado may be even more revered and beloved as superheros. Not to be Mystery Science Theater 3000 outdone  El Santo best-known movie outside of Mexico is also considered one of his best, 1962's Santo vs. las Mujeres Vampiro (Santo vs. the Vampire Women), which was also featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. He even rates his own public statue, the Statue of El Santo and museum, Museo del Santo in his hometown, Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico.

'Good poll, Urb! I don't watch many superhero movies or series so I don't know the characteristics but I'll vote for Molly Hernandez because I love her hat that is a lot more than just a hat. :) I'm guessing that she rocks. 

May I suggest two small edits? (in bold below: added "s" to "Hispanic;" changed comma to semi-colon)

rubyfruit76, I can get not being into some genre (I am not a fan of conventional fantasy, for example, having a hard time watching Lord of the Rings movies despite being a huge fan of Peter Jackson), but not watching superhero movies at all seems a bit drastic to me... Especially since it's a plot convention genre, which means it's actually a genre which is always in the mix with something: drama, horror, comedy, action, you name it. 

It might be both inclusive film fan (so even when I'm not a fan of particular genre I will still try and get a big gasp, eventually) and superhero genre fan in me speaking, but I firmly think that there is a superhero movie for everyone out there. :)

Urbanemovies, sorry I didn't notice before, but there is a small but important correction to do


In option #18 it says 'El Santa' instead of 'El Santo? It is only a letter, but it changes the meaning of the word from male to female, and in this particular case, it sounds like Santa Claus intead of a Luchador name.
