List of Latino superheroes

This is a list of Latino and Latina superheroes. Over the years the comic medium has delivered a diverse but stereotypical sampling of minority characters. For a brief history of stereotypical depictions of "Hispanic" characters in comics see the ethnic stereotypes in comics article.

This page focuses exclusively on documenting the history of the "Latino and Latina" superheroes whether they are of Mestizo, Mulatto, Chicano, MesoAmerican, Zambo, Indigenous, Caribbean, African, Asian descent, or some mix of these ethnicities.

For related "non-Hispanic" groups (many of whom speak Spanish or have Spanish surnames), see also: List of Filipino superheroes and List of Native American superheroes, which will provide a somewhat comprehensive listing across many companies and many media including print, the web, television, and films. While it may appear to focus mainly on the Latino and Latina experience in the United States, other visions are welcome.
