    More on Latina Wonder Woman:

    Wonder Woman was born of the light from the soul of the first Taino woman slaughtered by Christopher Columbus. She lived on the island of Themyscira until man’s incessant need for war and conquest reached her shores during WWI. She fought alongside the Allies and has been a defender of the meek ever since, but feels especially drawn to the Caribbean islands she called home in a past life.

  • 77. Psylocke (Latinx Delegation) – Racial Draft Season 2


    The new backstory for (Latinx) Psylocke — as per Carlos Freytes — is as follows:

    Kwannon Cortez was the daughter of a Guatemalan general who had his sights set on seizing power via military coup. Kwannon’s mother, Aiko, was a Japanese refugee who never spoke of her life before coming to Guatemala.

    The night before General Cortez’ coup was to take place, he received word that his home, a fortress in its own right, had been visited by a league of assassins known as The Hand. The Guatemalan president, aware of the coup, employed The Hand to neutralize the treasonous General in exchange for silent shares of the nation’s petroleum holdings.

    The Hand sacked the General’s home, dispensing with his elite private security detail with ease. They killed his servants and slaughtered the animals in his menagerie. But when they reached his wife and daughter, the ninjas laid down their weapons.

    Aiko’s father was himself an elite Hand assassin. When Aiko learned of her father’s murderous ways, and that her fate was to follow in her father’s footsteps, she fled. Now, in a twist of fortune, the Hand had inadvertently found her.

    When the ninjas broke through the barricaded door where mother and daughter were hiding, they found Aiko dead by her own blade, and the baby Kwannon in her mother’s arms, with her mother’s bloody hand print across her face, a sign to the Hand that this girl was to be spared, for she was one of their own. The Hand confronted General Cortez with an ultimatum. They left with Kwannon in tow.

    Kwannon became the child prodigy of The Hand. By ten, she had assassinated more men in more ways than anyone who had preceded her in the Hand’s history. Her life would take a turn, however, when at the age of 12 she first found herself reading the thoughts of one of her marks. As she got older, her mutant powers of telepathy grew. Now, Kwannon was cursed to know that some of the men she was sworn to kill were innocent.

    At 25, Kwannon faced her final mission as a member of the Hand: the assassination of the Guatemalan Generalissimo Cortez. Kwannon was a one-woman strike force, cutting through Cortez’ men with her katana. When she met Cortez, his thoughts flooded into her mind instantly. Kwannon learned that Cortez was her father, and that the ultimatum he had been offered two and a half decades before was to choose to live the rest of his days as a humble farmer with his daughter, or to relinquish his daughter to the Hand in exchange for his coup.

    The emotional stew of rage, betrayal, and sadness reached a boiling point within Kwannon, until she could no longer contain it. Her psychic abilities erupted, manifesting a psionic katana from her hand. The general was killed by the blade of his own daughter’s mind.

    Kwannon abandoned the Hand, traveling the world while searching for her own identity in a world rife with hostility against mutants. Her journey would take her to both sides of the philosophical struggle between Charles Xavier and Magneto. No matter where she ends up, one can be assured that the only allegiance Kwannon pledges is to herself.
