Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Unimpressed with the lack of Puerto Rican representation in mainstream comic books, a writer at Marvel Comics named Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez decided to create his own comic starring a Puerto Rican hero. Miranda-Rodriguez was inspired to make the character when he was approached organizers of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City. They wanted to honor him for his previous work. Miranda-Rodriguez created a comic book to be introduced at the 2016 Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC.Thus La Borinqueña was born.La Borinqueña stars Marisol Rios De La Luz, a young woman of Puerto Rican descendance living in Brooklyn. Marisol is an environmental studies student at Columbia University who goes to Puerto Rico to study. Gifted with powers by ancient Puerto Rican gods, Marisol decides to use her powers to fight social justice and environmental issues.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Named after the national anthem of Puerto Rico, La Borinqueña mainly deals with political issues such as voter rights and climate change and police accountability. Her creator has described her more as a "symbol of hope" than a "crime fighter".In 2018, La Borinqueña crossed over with The DCU in Ricanstruction: Reminiscing & Rebuilding Puerto Rico. In the comic, Marisol has commissioned the help of DC's superheroes aid rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico, in the wake of the real life hurricane Hurricane Maria of 2017. Proceeds of the comic went to recovery efforts for Puerto Rico. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| La Borinqueña (Comic Book) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Harley Quinn, arrested after a failed bank robbery, is genuinely saddened by hearing about the devastation caused by Maria, and convinces the cops to let her serve her sentence there in volunteer service. Poison Ivy isn't thrilled about helping humans, but she is aghast at seeing how Puerto Rico's rainforests have been flattened or drowned by the storm, and eventually reneges to providing food for people with her plants. | |

Enemy Mine | |

Enemy Mine: It's not just heroes who come to Puerto Rico's aid, as Marisol is also able to recruit the help of Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman, although some are less eager about it than others. | |

Wild Mass Guessing | |

Celebrity Paradox | |
| La Borinqueña (Comic Book) / int_7b8b3def | comment |
Celebrity Paradox: Curiously, Marisol teams with Supergirl at one point, despite the former's comic treating the Supergirl TV show as fictional. Maybe the show in-universe is a fictionalized version of her real adventures? | |
