VENTURE AXEL ALONSO’S Marvel universe looks a lot different from the one in your father’s comic-book stash. There’s Miles Morales, a black and Hispanic teenager who donned the Spidey suit in 2011. Three years later a 16-year-old Muslim girl from Jersey City became Ms. Marvel. Now there’s a female Thor, a Korean-American Hulk, and a black girl genius in Iron Man’s armour.
