The Avengers killed at the box office this past weekend - and is really, really awesome - but it's a team of white dudes. (One of them is sometimes green.) In other words; where are the Latin superheroes? Well, we at Remezcla have compiled a list of superheroes who do in fact, look like us.

StoryCorps, a national initiative to document the unique stories of Americans, will arrive on May 17, 2010 to collect the stories of Chicago’s Latino residents, as part of its Historias Initiative. Historias is an ongoing initiative to capture and celebrate the diversity of Latino culture.
The StoryCorps MobileBooth – an Airstream trailer outfitted with a recording studio – will be parked at the National Museum of Mexican Art for 6 weeks. Telephone reservations are open and can be made through StoryCorps’ 24-hour reservation line, 1-800-850-4406, or at www.storycorps.org
At the MobileBooth, interviews are conducted between two people who know and care about each other. A trained bilingual facilitator guides the participants through the interview process and handles the technical aspects of the recording. At the end of each 40-minute session, participants receive a free CD copy of their interview. With their permission, a second copy becomes part of an archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress for future generations to hear.
Additional reservations will open on May 21. StoryCorps Historias plans to collect 120 interviews during its stay in Chicago.
