The Silver Scorpion - Muslim Superhero

Earlier this week, I found a newspaper article about a new comic book superhero  coming out - a Muslim boy. But even more interesting is that this boy is in a wheelchair. The idea for this superhero came from a group of disabled young Syrians and Americans who met in Damascus last month. The article states "The superhero's appearance hasn't been finalized, but an early sketch shows a Muslim boy who lost his legs in a landmine accident and later becomes the Silver Scorpion after discovering he has the power to control metal with his mind." He will use his  "power to flight for social inclusion, equity and justice." I think this comic book hero is an interesting idea, because I have never heard of a Muslim superhero before. And the idea to have a superhero with a disability is wonderful; I hope this will have a positive effect on how people with various disabilities are perceived. I'm interested to see how a Muslim superhero will be perceived by Americans. I'm curious about how many countries this comic book will be distributed in. The article mentions that the company hopes to release the first issue in November, and the comic book will be published in Arabic and English. The ability to control metal with his mind should provide opportunities for many intriguing storylines. I'm interested to see what other characters are brought into the comic book; the article does not mention sidekicks or villains or any other characters besides the boy himself. It's not even clear from the article if he has a name yet (his real name, not his Silver Scorpion moniker). I think Silver Scorpion is an excellent superhero name, although it reminds me of the Silver Surfer. "New Muslim comic book superhero on the way" by Edith M. Lederer is the article.
