If I’m not mistaken, there are people who do racebend existing characters if because they can’t see themselves in the media they consume. If you wanted me to be honest, while Arrow gave us the Felicity Smoak we know through Emily Bett Rickards yet I can’t see her as Felicity. To me, Felicity Smoak is somebody who works as a seamstress and dressmaker.

She’s Indian and rather shy and mistrusting, not to mention she can turn into a striped hyena whenever she’s stressed out or emotional. Strangely enough, upon learning that Felicity Smoak first appeared in the Firestorm comics (the one with a nuclear powered superhero) alongside the Hyena this would make this Felicity Smoak a proper modernisation.

Perhaps in a way Arrow’s Felicity Smoak isn’t as she’s suspected of being a modernised Chloe Sullivan, the girl who pined over Superman in Smallville. As for Valentina Vostok, she’s a character from the Doom Patrol comics and she’s Russian. But she’s not white to me, despite her usual portrayal (until recently if she ever gets racebent at all). She’s Yakut from the Sakha Republic.

Russia has nonwhite people, not just as immigrants but also as indigenous people especially as Russia expanded eastwards. So she’s going to be an indigenous woman in this regards, one whose ancestors and people are native to Siberia prior to Russian expansion and colonisation. The fact that all the Russians who appear in superhero comics are white is saying.

So if she does become a Yakut in DC Rebirth, that would provide much-needed representation for such a demographic outside of Russian media (if it does exist at all) that it would be a real milestone. So far, the most well-known western representation of indigenous Siberians is a nonfiction book by Farley Mowat. Indigenous Siberians are practically obscure.

Especially if virtually all Russians represented in western fiction are white, even though nonwhite Russians do show up in Russian media (however in possibly demeaning ways). I think if DC does bother making Felicity Indian and Valentina Yakut for both DC Rebirth and the DCEU, it will be controversial to those used to their white incarnations.
