Costume, La Borinquena, 2016
As La Borinquena, Brooklyn-born Marisol Rios De La Luz celebrates her Puerto Rican roots while using her superpowers to protect the planet and its people. In a 2016 graphic novel she uses her superpowers to help Puerto Rico recover from a hurricane, raising awareness of real-life events that devastated the island and spurring support for reconstruction efforts. La Borinquena not only shares a name with the Puerto Rican commonwealth anthem; she wears a costume inspired by Puerto Rico's flag. The graphic novel superhero made her debut in New York's 2016 Puerto Rican Day Parade, with an actor wearing this costume. |
