Transcript
Talk about your top five Hispanic slash Latino comic characters. Number five is going to be Bane, which is the absolute greatest villain that you can better run across. Number four is Jessica Cruz, who is one of the most bad Green Lanterns you can come across. Number three is Jaime Reyes who is the new Blue Beetle and since he's made a great movie, I think more people are gonna know about who Jaime Reyes is. And my number two is gonna be Robbie Reyes who is the ghost better of East LA that drives that flaming charger around. And my number one is going to be Miles Morales. And who doesn't know Miles for all the attributes that he's brought to comics since his, his debut.
