The series is just called Magnum in Brazil though, thats how the character was localized there. Elsewhere it's still called Wonderman.
The translations of super hero names always confuses me. Some are translated, other are not, some doesn't make any sense, why the fuck Magnum?
Most comics are read by kids or teens, and back in the day in LatAm there were laws promoting local language (Spanish and Portuguese) over anglophilic words. Which is why we got stuff like Bruce Wayne = Bruno Diaz, and Speedy = Ricardito. In the 1990s I believe Panini (the italian company) bought the publishing rights to the DC and Marvel and changed a lot of names back to the Original ones.
Wonderman would probably be confusing due to the sound W make in portuguese, besides translating to Homem-Maravilha would make people think it was a knockoff of Wonder Woman. Magnum is just a random cool name they though of it back in the day, also it could be a reference to Magnum P.I. idk lol.
Tbh in English that was already my first thought. What the fuck is a wonder man? Wonder Woman isn't even owned by you what is happening
Isn't this also one of the reasons DC started calling Captain Marvel Shazam?
To make things even more confusing, the Earth-11 Wonder Woman (the male version) is called Wonderous Man.
No fucking way Ricardito is not called Ricardito in English
I think he goes by Red Arrow or Arsenal instead of Speedy nowadays anyway, or one of his clones does idk.
I bet its so that they can keep the same artwork by flipping the W in Wonderman into an M
cause she has a magnum dong
