Marvel Introduces Non-Binary Hero Snowflake and Twin Safespace

Marvel has introduced a new non-binary superhero and the internet is a little torn, to say the least.

The New Warriors line-up was announced via YouTube trailer yesterday, introducing us to new characters including Screentime, Trailblazer, B-Negative, and twins Snowflake and Safespace.

Yeah…Snowflake and Safespace.

Safespace is described as a “stereotypical jock,” but with pink hair and a pink costume. His power is creating force fields, but it’s only able to be activated if he’s protecting another person.

His twin, Snowflake, is non-binary, and their more proactive power allows them to create crystallized snowflake-shaped shurikens.

Writer Daniel Kibblesmith explained the thought process behind the new character names, saying that they’re about “teens fighting against labels that have been put on them.”

“It’s the idea that these are terms that get thrown around on the internet that they don’t see as derogatory to take those words and kind of wear them as badges of honor.”

While there was always going to be an uproar from people who use the terms “snowflake” and “safe space” in a negative manner, members of the LGBTQ community and allies aren’t completely sold on this attempt to reclaim the terms.
