Semtex asks why mainstream comic heroes like Superman, Iron Man, Batman and Thor are all white and where all the ethnic superheroes are.

Superman, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Batman all have 3 things in common: they're very successful comic book characters; they've all been made in to movies; AND they are all white men.

In this Radio 1 and 1Xtra Story, DJ Semtex, a self confessed comic book fanatic, delves into the world of comic books and asks where are the mainstream black and ethnic superheroes?
