the main question is how with that hair do how does she get it all into that helmet? as you'd probably never be able to see the controls with all that hair in the way.
Clearly this will be a short-lived gimmick. A bit like Captain America being a Hydra agent or Superman being dead.
Seems like a gimmick to me. Wouldn't it be better to create a NEW black, female
superhero then adopt the tactic of changing an existing superhero to get media
attention?
Of course it's a gimmick, but it's an old one (War Machine). Haven't Capt America and Spiderman both had black stand ins? Haven't they just brought Black Panther back aswell?

But what annoys me is the way the mainstream press fall for this sort of thing every single time.

You can't blame them when they are handed click bait on a plate. It's the people who make a big deal about it on social media and such, then never go out and buy a comic that get me.
So she's not old enough to drive but old enough to fly ?
Then again, how old is Peter Parker in the NewMU ?
btw: with her being so young, does this mean any future fights between other Avengers and Iron Man are out because hitting a little girl is a big nono, even if she is wearing that suit.
The Hulk is now a Korean-American child genius so I guess it is all change... apparently the only thing you can't be to be a hero in the Marvel universe is stupid
^ I was about to say "HA!!!! what about Bizarro" ... then remembered he be DC.
Well Clark Kent has been getting away with his kiss curl hairstyle & glasses as a disguise for years so I'm guessing they aren't too bright in the DC universe
The correct answer to the OP's question would be because Marvel is now aimed at right-on gender studies student teenage tumblr feminists who have no regard for good storytelling and believe every comic should feature at least one Hispanic midget who sexually identifies as a toaster.
Apparently Marvel comics have announced that Iron Man is to become a black female teenage genius ! Why ?
Because they just killed off the black man who could have replaced the white guy instead?
Okay, jokes aside, it's just a stunt they will undo in a few years.
Or the new strategic move, called "The Spider-Man", where they keep both people and make them (lamely) share the same hero name.
Used to be DC and Marvel did okay with Legacy Heroes, where they simply gave them new codenames. Oh, they'd often try them out with the main hero name THEN later undo it, but the version with sharing the hero name is where I personally reach my limit.
That said, I personally thought when they ditched the original Captain Marvel for good they should have stuck with the black woman over the white one as the permanent replacement. But... guess it didn't shake out that way.

Why not?
Tony Stark eventually would have to give it up.
Well considering you have Thor playing the receptionist in the new Ghostbusters, I guess that all things are possible.

Hey, I'd buy a comic about a short Latino who sexually identifies as a bread cooker. Sounds like a Chris Ware story!
A bread cooker?? I can see Neil Gaiman doing that
