> One data point does not make a trend.

How many have to exist before it can be considered "progressivism"/"diversity" then? Also can you provide those examples that occurred post-Disney? As a huge marvel fan it should be easy for you do. As someone who isn't a huge marvel fan I can think of several off the top of my head that occurred pre-Disney.

Disney purchased Marvel in 2009(let's be honest 2010 is closer to the real year), only 7 of the 10 you listed occurred under Disney's watch. Big marvel fan indeed. Since you listed 7 times a race and/or a gender was swapped (I won't bother differentiating between swaps vs additions, e.g calling Ghost Spider a swap is a massive stretch.) under Disney as proof of "pushing progressive ideologies" I must assumed that is your threshold for something to be considered a trend. Here are 4 (plus the 3 your listed) times a race and/or a gender swap occurred under the previous Marvel owner's watch.

Michael Clarke Duncan as King Pin

Nick Fury (Ultimate Marvel Team-Up)

Lady Bullseye

Miss Sinister

Its almost as if Marvel did this sort of thing before Disney was involved, interesting.

I googled some of those out of curiosity, many of them had failed solo lines.

It seems Iron Man the movie with Robert Downey Jr (2008) really saved them,and restored them back to cultural relevance beyond the X-men + Spiderman.

Though the overall trend for marvel comics are tanking especially compared to Manga/Manwha.
