But it seems Marvel's latest heroes boast the worthiest power of all: They're super-duper 'woke'. The comic book franchise is hoping to appeal to the so-called 'snowflake' generation by introducing two new characters – a pair of psychicpowered twins who are 'hyper aware of modern culture'. But Mr Kibblesmith said: 'The connotations of the word 'snowflake' in our culture right now are something fragile. Snowflake is the franchise's first explicitly non-binary superhero, although Marvel writer Al Ewing previously said Thor's nemesis, Loki, is bisexual and 'gender fluid'. The New Warriors series also features modern superheroes B-Negative, Screentime and Trailblazer.
