The Venezuelan Marvel mutant.
That's right, I'm not exaggerating, the protests specifically in April 2002 in Venezuela had repercussions in places as unexpected as the world of comics, as Marvel, our beloved comic house, noticed these facts. And they created the first (and according to what I have researched, the only) X-men and Venezuelan heroine of the entire Marvel universe, inspired by a social political phenomenon. Strategy that they once used with Black Panther and Luke Cage, in the years of racial discrimination in the US.
Sofia Mantega, is the name of our Caracas mutant, who lived practically all her life in Caracas, Venezuela. Carrying the typical life of the Venezuelan, with its pros and cons, trying to develop their powers, but everything changed when the country fell into a collapse, affecting her and her family, to the point that her mother had to go out to protest and in those protests she is murdered, leaving Sofia alone with her uncle, who can not keep her, so she is sent with her father who was not known, more than she was in the US and owned a chain of supermarkets, there, with dollars ... I say , with the help of the Xavier Institute, he finally learns to control his powers.
They may still be doubting. How related were the protests in Venezuela to the creation of this character? Well ... Here is an image. It is very important that you remember what happened in 2002 and even more important that you observe and read carefully what the posters say of the people in the protest where the mother of WindDancer died
Interesting, right? I bet that like me, you had no idea.
To finish, I must add that the powers of WindDancer are very similar to those of Storm, but not developed. As expected, after several events she ends up in Xavier's academy and is part of the "New Mutants". There he finishes developing his powers well, he can control the weather and fly, but he can also amplify the vibrations in the air, which gives him the power to listen to conversations from a distance.
Hopefully in the future we continue to receive news of this interesting mutant, thanks for reading :)
