hoverboy comic

One of the most vitriolic interactions our nation has had is with Japan. The moment Japanese immigration became legal, several organizations endeavored to give Japanese-Americans as much shit as possible, including one as petty as the “Anti-Jap Laundry League” which is exactly what it sounds like. This was vastly exacerbated by World War 2 and Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. As with any war effort, major media rushed to create war propaganda for the homefront.
This included comic book companies. Characters who previously held no prejudices were now vehicles for Anti-Japanese rhetoric. While unpopular at first, during wartime, he got his niche as a “domestic” superhero who fought the Japanese threat in the States in a series called “Yellow Peril”........

In the end, Blacks protested and demanded that the character of Steamboat be discontinued because he was offensive.
In an attempt to attract black readers, steamboat was introduced as captain marvel's vallet. Dim witted, with lips half the size of his face, he was killed off after protest groups visited the editor's office.

Because of this, Anarchist, along with fellow X-Statix Dead Girl, left to form his own television show. After the series flopped, they both returned to the X-Statix.
