Calling all geeky crips! Do you have a favorite comic book character with a disability?

Oracle, a white female identified person, is sitting in a wheelchair and she is shaking the hands of a white male identified person who is also in a wheelchair.

Do you find wiki posts about disabled comic book characters ableist, inaccurate or devoid of a disability perspective?
