That is Toph. She IS disabled. She is also awesome. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I mean…

Charles Xavier, Professor X - wheelchair-bound, paraplegic/chronic pain from leg injuries (in some comics arcs, he can walk; it’s just excruciating for him)

Matt Murdock, Daredevil - blind

Tony Stark, Iron Man - did you miss the heart condition? Also spent some time paraplegic in comics

Doctor Strange - nerve damage in his hands

Deadpool - cancer, chronic pain

Bucky Barnes, Winter Soldier - lost an arm, replaced with cybernetics

Nick Fury - lost an eye

Colonel James Rhodes, War Machine - paraplegic in movies; in comics, suffers extensive injuries requiring extensive cybernetics

That’s all stuff you can see in the movies.  And then in comics:

Barbara Gordon, Oracle - wheelchair-bound, paraplegic

Clint Barton, Hawkeye - hearing loss, in at least some comic arcs

Hank Pym - bipolar disorder 

Victor Stone, Cyborg - multiple injuries requiring extensive cybernetics, dysphoria from same

Dr. Midnite - blind

Cassandra Cain, Batgirl/Black Bat - was mute when introduced, still struggles with verbal communication in some comic arcs

Echo - deaf

Misty Knight - lost an arm, replaced with cybernetics

Puck - dwarfism

Thor - in comics, when he’s Donald Blake, he requires a cane to get around

Moon Knight - dissociative identity disorder

And that’s just ones I can think of who’ve had their own titles or are on big-name teams with titles.
