From Iron Man 3 to Jane the Virgin, You, and now Wednesday, Jenna Ortega is truly a child of the Internet. The actress has been working relentlessly to establish a footing in showbiz and it seems as she stands confidently alongside the likes of Winona Ryder that she has done all that and way more to the point that the Internet has almost developed a parental instinct for her which was on full display as talks about her superhero venture started making the rounds.

When a popular gossip account dared pose the earth-shattering question of which DC character Jenna Ortega should embody fans swiftly narrowed it down with the precision of a guillotine: Raven or Marvel. In a fandom known for its endless debates, the choice was as sternly restricted as a superhero's spandex costume.

It has been a popular belief that if she were to step into the superhero realm, Jenna Ortega would be the rightful fit for the ever-loved Raven, who is an important member of the Teen Titans. From the dark hair to the entire persona, Ortega is a perfect fit for the role, but when has she not been? This is perhaps why fans put up unshakable boundaries as they debated her choices in the superhero realm.

Despite the opulence of means available to increase fan interactions, it is very rare in today's scenario for a celebrity to truly strike a chord with their fans. However, Jenna Ortega has managed to do just that. While there were definitely comparisons between her and Millie Bobby Brown earlier in the race, the actress has stood her own and as a result garnered a fanbase that is ready to cherry-pick the perfect roles for her instead of pushing her to do every big role.

While the largest echo was made from the section that screamed "Raven" as the perfect choice for Jenna Ortega in DC, others did not feel that DC was currently worthy of Ortega.

Fans believed that given her talent and star power, Jenna Ortega should be cast as a more important character in Marvel than playing Raven or anything else in DC, given its current weak standing. However, with her diversifying her filmography with each role, it is unlikely that Jenna Ortega would want to be tied down to a big-name studio just yet.
