As a way to diversify their audience and reach a mass audience, DC and Marvel, the main comic companies, have added a series of new characters in recent times.
Thanks to this strategy we have seen the appearance of several superheroes of Latin origin, which has been well received by comic book readers because, in addition, these characters incorporate certain cultural elements that represent all Latin Americans.
These are some of the most important Latin characters:
