The superhero's appearance hasn't been finalized, but an early sketch shows a Muslim boy who lost his legs in a landmine accident and later becomes the Silver Scorpion after discovering he has the power to control metal with his mind.

Ok child from a war...
Horrible experience in said war...
Has power to control metal...

WTF That's Magneto!

I guess Muslims couldn't relate to a Jewish comic book character! :nope:

Wait, wait, wait... he can control metal but hes in a wheelchair? Why can't he build a pair of metal legs to control with his mind? :hmmm:

Because controlling metal to work as legs is as politically incorrect as it gets (and he would lose his invalidity support ;)).

If he was gay he'd have to kill himself, so I suppose they at least drew one realistic line.

Maybe he's also obese :D But wait, that wouldn't make sense, since he must be a vegan, right?

He should have been female, or maybe that will be released in a later issue as a cliffhanger!
