This new “local” version of Cap dons a one-legged pantsuit, purple hair, dark complexion, and a gnarly caped jacket. “The thing I can say about Nichelle is that she is working day and night to bring change into a world where she feels defeated,” says Nichelle’s creator Mohale Mashigo. “Nichelle is a light in a dark time and she wants to take ownership of her community and space in America.”

Co-creator Natacha Bustos’ added, “There are very few occasions when you have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of a character as genuine and powerful as Nichelle. She is undoubtedly one of the characters that I am most proud to have designed, for all that she represents and what she means for the community.”
