Santeria superheroes--is this appropriate?

Marvel Comics is putting out their first Hispanic/Latino comic book series. It's about a group of heroes called "the Santerians," with a leader called "Eleggua." Now, Santeria is a real religion that some real Hispanics (and non-Hispanics, too) practice. Eleggua is the main God--He is to the Santeria pantheon as Zeus is to the Greek.

So. Is this appropriate? Disrespectful? A cool-sounding comic series? A lame-sounding comic series? Or something else altogether?
My thinking is, it could be lots worse, and Wiccans have endured Harry Potter, after all. But most people don't know anything about Santeria.

I don't know.

The Greek gods laugh at themselves, I don't know about those others.

I don't practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball
But if I had a million dollars well I, I'd spend it all

I guess the spin off could be, "The Christians" with "Jesus H Christ" as the main hero. Do you think people would be offended by that?

I guess offense is all in the eye of the beholder, and we shouldn't be too concerned with it as all actions offend someone.

There is only ONE God. Yaweh!

Thor is a god with a growing following of serious worshipers. It's called Noe-pagan Heathenism or Asatru. Thor is also a comic book character. I doubt Mr.Lee made that connection when he invented Thor. Ancient mythology is the same as ancient theology. From what I can gather from your question, those heroes name themselves for gods and are not, themselves, gods. I would see that as a sign of respect for that god, naming yourself after a god means their characteristics is something your strive for. Many Hispanic children have been named Jesus, does this disrespect or glorify that god's name?
