I’m currently using #Midjourney to generate #SouthAsian versions of #MarvelAvengers and it’s making me weirdly emotional.
As a little kid, #MarvelComics were an escape from my daily racist bullying at the hands of white teachers and schoolmates.
Here’s my #AI-generated visions of #SouthAsian #Marvel #Superheroes

My prompt: “Marvel Avengers but they are all South Asian people –ar 3:2”
I feel there’s a whole world of stories here that a 7yo me would have absolutely loved. They could have fought the fascists firebombing us out of our homes in the ’70s. Maybe I wouldn’t have wanted a white, “normal” name if I’d seen more names like mine?

A #SouthAsian #CaptainBritain battling the National Front?
The images I’m generating now… I wish I could have seen #Indian #superheroes like this back in 1971.
It would have made a huge difference to me.
