When Skai Jackson let Azealia Banks have it on social media, she became a super hero in her own right. However, it appears that Marvel has now made her a true hero.
Recently we reported that Marvel was introducing a new Iron Woman to take over for Tony Stark in the comics. Marvel has introduced to us Riri Williams, a 15 year old prodigy that attends M.I.T. She got the attention of Tony Stark after building her own Iron Man model in her college dorm. Now Mike Deodato Jr, the co-creator and artist behind Riri, discusses where he got his inspiration.
“Riri Williams was based on the beautiful young actress Skai Jackson,” Deodato said in a tweet accompanying a side-by-side photo of Skai Jackson and the fictional character Riri. One look at Riri and you can definitely see the resemblance. Skai, who is 14 years old, isn’t far from Riri’s age either.
It’s unknown whether Skai will make an appearance in the 4th, and final, Ironman film, though it would be awesome if she made a quick cameo.
