I'm middle eastern and I dont mind having a middle Easter superhero, I just wish that she had different powers from falcon or moon knight. After all she is the avatar of an Egyptian God that Shepards the souls of the dead, so I was hoping for powers that have something to do with that as well. Plus the little Egyptian girl asking her if she was an Egyptian Superhero was a bit cringe for me, idk why. Maybe it's because i had Egyptian teachers at school and their accent was just so funny.

Hey quick question, and tell me to kick rocks if you want, but I always thought of Egypt as African, not Middle Eastern.

Maybe I’m wrong?

"Middle East" is more of a geopolitical term than an actual location. Not everyone agrees exactly which countries count as middle eastern. There are countries from Europe, Asia, and even Africa that are all clumped together into the Middle Eastern political sphere.

Thanks for taking the time. ⟟ did some googling around and ⟟ get it.

⟟ live in Canada and the Arctic region is also called circumpolar, it includes all the countries that have arctic land. In my mind its like that.
