6 New English From BBCLearningEnglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Alice.
So Neil, the subject of today's show is Super Heroes.
Who's your favourite?
Spider-Man.
He's cool and funny, and he can spin webs and jump off skyscrapers.
Well, my favourite superhero is Ms.
Marvel.
I've never heard of her, and I'm a bit of an expert on comic book superheroes.
Well, a growing number of people from ethnic backgrounds are getting bored of all these white male superheroes they can't relate to, and they're hungry for characters a little
closer to home, or relevant to their own lives.
So what's Ms.
Marvel's superpower?
She's a shape shifter, which means she can change shape and become anything she wants,
but she's also just Kamala Khan, an average teenager from New Jersey who happens to be Asian and a Muslim.
It sounds good, but I think it must be time for today's quiz question, Alice.
OK, here it is.
What is the name of the new character that replaces Tony Stark as Iron Man?
