America Chavez
America Chavez is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Joe Casey and artist Nick Dragotta, the character first appeared in Vengeance #1 (September 2011). Chavez is a lesbian superhero of Latin-American origin. She has assumed the mantle of Miss America from the superheroine Madeline Joyce. She has also been a member of the A-Force, the Ultimates, and the Young Avengers at various points in her history.
The character was initially depicted as originating from the Utopian Parallel, a dimension outside time and space. She was a Starling of the Fuertona species, an alien race typically possessing supernatural abilities. Her origin was later retconned, revealing that she was born on Earth to scientists attempting to cure her of a disease. The Utopian Parallel was redefined as a medical facility where she underwent experimentation, which ultimately led to the development of her powers. Chavez's signature power is the creation of star-shaped portals that enable her to travel across space and time.
Chavez has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful female heroes, being labelled as the publisher's first Latin-American LGBT character to star in a comic book series as the eponymous character. Since her original introduction in comics, the character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games, animated television series, and merchandise. The character made her live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), portrayed by Xochitl Gomez.
Joe Casey, the creator of America Chavez, expressed his desire to create a character that would resonate with audiences as deeply as certain figures had with him in his youth. Reflecting on 2010, he admitted uncertainty about whether a substantial audience existed for a Latina superhero, though he is gratified that the times have evolved to embrace her. He further remarked that he imbued America Chavez with a distinctive individuality and robust self-confidence, envisioning her as a figure of formidable strength and resolve. In his view, she was crafted as "the Muhammad Ali of the Marvel Universe", embodying heroism that transcends traditional roles, much like Ali’s impact extended beyond boxing.
America Chavez debuted in Vengeance #1 (September 2011), created by writer Joe Casey and artist Nick Dragotta. She subsequently appeared in several Marvel series, including Young Avengers (2013) by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Jamie McKelvie, A-Force (2015) by G. Willow Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, and Jorge Molina, Ultimates (2015) by Al Ewing and Kenneth Rocafort as part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel initiative, the Avengers (2015) one-shot, Secret Empire (2017), West Coast Avengers (2018) by Kelly Thompson and Stefano Caselli, Superior Spider-Man (2018), and Avengers No Road Home (2019).
In the 2020s, Chavez appeared in various titles, including Marvel's Voices: Comunidades (2021), Hawkeye: Kate Bishop (2022), Marvel's Voices: Pride (2022), Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic (2022), Defenders: Beyond (2022), by Al Ewing, Thunderbolts (2022) by Jim Zub and Sean Izaakse, Marvel's Voices: Comunidades (2022), Women of Marvel (2023), Marvel's Voices: Pride (2023), and the Venom War: It's Jeff (2024) one-shot by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru.
Chavez has also starred in her own comic books. She headlined America (2017), her first solo comic book series by Gabby Rivera. The announcement of the series with Chavez as the titular character at the 2016 New York Comic Con was met with praise from various critics. She returned in America Chavez: Made in the USA (2021), her second solo comic book series, by Kalinda Vazquez and Carlos Gomez. Chavez appeared in several digital-exclusive releases on Marvel Unlimite as well, including Who Is... America Chavez (2022) by Alex Segura and Carlos Gómez, and Strange Tales: Clea, Wong & America Infinity Comic (2022).
Alternate versions of America Chavez have appeared in other Marvel publications, such as All-New Hawkeye (2015) by Jeff Lemire and Ramón Pérez, Ultimates (2024), What If... Kitty Pryde Stole the Phoenix Force? (2025), and Ultimate Endgame (2025).
