“As a transgender person, I am happy to be able to present an openly gay person who admires Captain America and fights against evil to help those who are almost invisible to society,” said Bazaldua. I hope his debut story resonates with readers, and helps inspire the next generation of heroes.”Īrtist Jan Bazaldua said she had “really enjoyed” creating Fischer. “He stands for the oppressed, and the forgotten. “Aaron is inspired by heroes of the queer community: activists, leaders, and everyday folks pushing for a better life,” said the series writer Josh Trujillo. Marvel described Fischer, who will be the “Captain America of the Railways”, as “a fearless teen who stepped up to protect fellow runaways and the unhoused”, with his debut timed to coincide with Pride Month in the US.
