Secret Wars and The Far East Domain

[Derek Metaltron]

I know everyone and their mother thinks this location will be the Marvel Mangaverse (especially since that universe's Spidey appeared in Spidey Verse) but having seen the awesomeness of what they're doing with Kun Lun in the Masters of Kung Fu mini it reminded me of something from a few years back which out of hope I would prefer... the 5 Ronin Universe.



This had characters like Wolverine, Hulk, Punisher, Psylocke and Deadpool as master-less Samurai and there was a great story running through it all, so I would happily return to that universe if Secret Wars wanted to. Alternatively in a similar vein there was a what if issue where Daredevil was in feudal Japan which could easily slot into that reality.

What do you think, would you rather see Five Ronin, Mangaverse or something different for the Far East Domain?

Intriguing idea, I would definitely read more from the mangaverse

Radical idea, but how about some real Asian superheroes instead of a bunch of white superheroes trying to be Asians?

Even with Kun' Lun, it looks like the only Asians are going to be Shang Chi and his dad.

Well going by the character designs for the Kung Fu series a lot of them look Asian, though it's hard to tell. 5 Ronin characters were all Japanese (though Betsy was half English as they had her father be an English Ambassador who had fallen in love with her mother).

I'm showing my bias for my own country, but since the term "Far East" incorporates Southeast Asia also, I'm hoping our very own Diwata pantheon and the Philippines' uninspiringly named "Triumph Division", which Fraction introduced way back in Invincible Iron Man and which haven't appeared since, make it into Battleworld.

I thought everybody in K'un Lun other than Danny was ethnically Asian. Or do they not count because really they live in a different dimension?
