It's rare that you see Indians being actual human beings.<br /><br />Also, Indian superheroes tend to have Captain Ethnic clothing. More than any other. In a Five-Man Band, we tend to be The Lancer (the foil to the hero), The Big Guy (the strong one, loyal to a fault, often dumb, and mute), or the Sixth Ranger (guy who comes along later and is inevitably more popular than the other five; it helps that the Trope Namer's an Indian). Not to say we can't play the other roles: <i>Mortal Kombat: The Animated Series</i> made Nightwolf The Smart Guy. <i>Captain Planet</i>'s Ma-Ti is The Chick. Even <i>Power Rangers</i>, which gave us the term Sixth Ranger, made Tommy The Hero after one season. But the other three roles are the stereotype for us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
