It's widely known that Riri Williams aka Iron Hart is still a teenager, but J Scott Campbell's variant cover features the 15-year-old heroine in not-so-age appropriate way, Twitterati claimed, reported Aceshowbiz.
"Is this how people see 15 year old black girls? I keep seeing these cover variants for Riri Williams and maybe 2 or 3 she has looked 15," one user wrote.
Another user said, "So, apparently, body shaming is completely acceptable as long as the person being shamed is fit and attractive," crediting @JScottCampbell. Campbell responded, "Ha! Nope, nope. Sitting this SJW whine-fest out. Not taking their bait this round."
"This is the character I was asked to draw, people understand that, right? Is it THAT different?" he wrote, adding the hashtags, "#nonconroversy #movealong."
Marvel later took to Twitter to share a few additional drawings which showed Williams in more "appropiate" way.
