A possible future addition to the fictional Muslims list:
New comic book to feature Muslim superhero (source: San Francisco Chronicle)

The superhero's appearance hasn't been finalized, but he definitely will be a Muslim boy in a wheelchair.

I take issue with the use of "unlikely" in the first sentence of the article, but the rest sounds quite promising.

WashPo has a longer article, with concept art.

Interesting. Looks like it's going to be a one shot rather than an ongoing (?), but I look forward to reading it.

I can't wait for it to be available!

Devarajan said it was noteworthy that none of the young people wanted the hero's power to be something that cured their disability.
