Marvel creates new deaf superhero for kid who doesn't want to wear hearing aid
May. 24th, 2012 05:38 pmSo apparently there's a deaf kid named Anthony Smith who didn't want to wear his hearing aid because superheroes don't have them, so his mother sent a letter to Marvel. They sent him the cover to West Coast Avengers #1 given that Hawkeye was once deaf and required a hearing aid, as well as designing a superhero based on him. A non-embeddable video can be found here.
