One part of art/marketing/communicating that I struggle with is clarity of message. I like subtlety and metaphor, but people who are looking for a service or when you have to express your needs, you are well served by explicit and simple messaging. Al’s Spaghetti House probably gets more customers looking for Italian food than The Noodle Forest. “I don’t want to go to the event tonight because I am feeling overwhelmed” illicits more relevant responses than “I am tired and scatterbrained right now.”
Sabra was already too on the nose as her costume was literally the Israeli flag. This is ridiculous. There must be some subtlety for a good design. Spiderman is relatable because he has trouble balancing being a hero and being a person. It has immediate connotation when you look at him. Goku is lighthearted and likes to fight. The immediately recognizable, unique design lets people go “that’s literally me.”
Though, as I look for context, I think it’s just some Israeli woman making fan art and some organization acknowledging it. I don’t think it’s an actual new series. I mean, hey, she made it well designed and communicative.
Spiderman is relatable because he has trouble balancing being a hero and being a person.
He’s relatable because he’s been around for 60 years, telling compelling personal stories in a variety of media. This thing is just a new mascot for a military branch.
Might as well stack Spiderman up against Tony the Tiger.

Maybe Sabra feels relatable to Israelis because her costume elicits feelings of nationalism.
I mean honestly there really aren’t a lot of famous heroes whose costumes reflect the flag of a nation; outside of Captain America no one else comes to mind.
Huh, admittedly I didn’t know that. I primarily read fantastic four, x-men, avengers, gen x, DC stuff, and spider-man; but the marvel universe is admittedly pretty huge.
I had to sift through some real brainrot to find this (there are more), so check out at least the last one. It is, at the very least, interesting, though I think it’s obviously mainly informed by orientalist xenophobia.
I only know about Captain Mexico due to Marvel Zombies. It was some serious edgelord shit, but killing off the important characters allowed others (such as Morbius) to shine.

There are Captain [country]s for many countries, and there was a comic series about the [obviously spoooky] Chinese Avengers
Captain america but instead he’s an evil
Huh, admittedly I didn’t know that. I primarily read fantastic four, x-men, avengers, gen x, DC stuff, and spider-man; but the marvel universe is admittedly pretty huge.
I mostly see the other Captains used for jokes, admittedly.
Regarding Chinese Avengers, I think there might actually be multiple. Here is one group:

And another:

Ah, my bad, the group I was thinking of was actually a DC one:
