Mythical African gods with a marvel comics look Think of The Avengers, the comic series from American publisher Marvel aboutĀ a motley crew of superheroes who come together to protectĀ the world from the forces of evil. Now, imagine if back in the 1960s, creators Jack Kirby and Stan LeeĀ had found inspiration for The Avengers inĀ Yoruba mythology. Instead of IronĀ Man, we'd have the warrior OxaguiĆ£. Taking theĀ place of the blue-eyed, blonde-haired Norse god ThorĀ would be the equally strongĀ and black-skinned XangĆ“, the ruler of justice ā who also happens to carry a hammer.Ā Ant-Man, with his command of insects,Ā gives way to Ossain, who in turn is the king of the forest, the sorcerer and knower ofĀ secrets of the plants. And who is Captain America compared with Ogum and his sword, always thirsty for battle? #marvelcomics #africangods https://globalvoices.org/2017/02/03/marvel-meets-orishas-a-brazilian-artist-is-turning-african-gods-into-superheroes/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CJjmLIdFS6o/?igshid=101b1xl18xbto
