5 Latin/Hispanic comic book heroes that deserve live-action treatment
1. White Tiger
A live-action version of White Tiger is long overdue. Netflix looked like the perfect home for a White Tiger series since, Daredevil and to a lesser degree, Foggy played a role in White Tiger’s history. The first White Tiger, Hector Ayala, found the magical amulets on a New York City subway.

His story ended in tragedy, one that could resonate with many. Hector’s heroic crusades saw him take down criminals in his city but, while he was away at college, his family was shot and killed. He tracked down the murderers and, with the help of Spider-Man, he took out the anti-superhero crusaders.
Hector eventually dropped the mantle of White Tiger and moved away with his girlfriend. When he came back to New York he hoped to reclaim the heroic title, but he was framed for the murder of a police officer.
Matt Murdock (Daredevil) and Foggy defended Hector, but a crocked prosecutor convinced the jury of his guilt. Upset, he took a gun from an officer and fled the courtroom. Only to be gunned down by police officers.

His niece, federal agent Angela Del Toro, inherited the amulets but did not want to be a hero, until Daredevil convinced her otherwise. White Tiger doesn’t only give Marvel a Hispanic/Latin hero but it expands to something more — The Sons of the Tiger. It’s time for the MCU to make White Tiger happen.
