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!

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?

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

).

I'll be sure to tell the WIA troops given these how offensive they are to those with disabilities...and Muslims...

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

Plot setup for a cliffhanger issue?

Will he use his superpowers to murder Salman Rushdie?

Maybe he's also obese

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!
