Is it possible to get a Sam Wilson variation to captain America?

And before I get all of the “they’re two different characters” comments let’s just realistically think about all the other costumes/variations who aren’t the same as the primary character:
Agent venom (Flash Thompson)
Spider-punk (hobie brown, although the 2099 version is original it could still be hobie)
Chasm (Ben Reilly)
Stone Age BP (Mosi)

And there’s more to name but my point is that it’s possible to do.

Not to mention, they added lady Loki, which showed us that they can add a whole new variation to a character without creating a new character.

So with those examples, is it safe to say that Sam Wilson should be in the game/could be in the game? And if he’s not added does that add to the bias against African American characters?

Both Deadlock and Overwatch are releasing a new black character with PEAK designs this month (yes ow2 character with a good design, insane sentence) meanwhile rivals’ last black character release was more than a year ago.

Now I’m not feeding into that “ netease is racist “ topic, but we still need more black people ( and other minorities that aren’t asian ) love in this game.

Also this is not glaze to Blizzard or Valve. Because Blizzard neglects their black characters the same or maybe even worse than Netease. Meanwhile, in deadlock, black characters : Calico and Wraith, are criminals and Sinclair (a black couple ) is trapped in a WHITE mannequin.
( obviously a joke if you can’t tell that they clearly aren’t finished )

Probably the most iconic black villain in Marvel, and yet I have never seen any discussion or conversation about him being added to Marvel Rivals. Hell, I've seen people talk more about Gentle being added to the game than Killmonger

I think he can make for an excellent vanguard, but what do you guys think?

This happens when all the heroes realize being a k-pop star is like being a hero in every universe.
