Asians of the DCU

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

This is the first I'm hearing of this reveal, since I haven't been reading anything associated with Future State and don't plan to. I do think the story behind the reveal is touching though, and I can't help but think of this guy from The Originals as the live action version of the character.

Charles Michael Davis as Marcel Gerard

Between Cassandra, Damian, and Jace, it seems like the Batfamily is the DC franchise with the most Asian representation, with Superman and Flash being next, I think.

It was a new reveal in Jace's solo "I am Batman". Issue 17 I think.

I pictured Yusuf Gatewood for Jace myself. Same show, different actor.

Yeah, it’s nice to see biracial representation as well. Not many actors I can think of who have actual mixed Asian and Black descent. Haven’t come across anything online about Yusuf’s Asian heritage, but it’s mentioned that Michael is half Filipino.

Green Arrow family has Connor Hawke, Red Arrow, Cheshire Cat and now the new Red Canary.

There's also Sin and, if you count adaptations, the Young Justice animated version of Artemis Crock.

I picked Yusuf way back in the beginning before Jace was revealed to be mixed.

I'm hoping the Justice League of China gets a reunion.

Who is DC's most prominent Asian male hero? You could argue Katana and Lady Shiva (not a hero) are the biggest Asian female characters and both are original non-legacy characters.

Currently Kenan Kong or Ryan Choi.

Absolutely need to.

The latter took up the Atom mantle while the former is Chinese Superman. In terms of non-legacy, I think you have to go back to Samurai of the Super Friends for the most recognizeable male hero. Not that he can't have an Asian American update like Wind Dragon in JLU.

[SecretWarrior]

Really wish Wind Dragon appeared in the comics as a straightforward hero. Out of all the Ultimen, he and Long Shadow have the best shot of being ported over a legitimate characters. Juice, Downpour, and Shifter all have more prominent equivalents already in the form of Black Lightning and the Wonder Twins, whom they were obviously based on.

I would say Karate Kid is one of the most prominent Asian male DC heroes. He's had his own title, and he's been around forever.

Well, also, Kimiyo Hoshi.

Damien Wayne, Val Amorr / Karate Kid and Kenan Kong have all had titles of their own, or appear fairly regularly. Of them, Val's the obvious non-legacy, since he was the first Karate Kid.

[Shockingjustice]

That's Dr. Light right? I don't think she's been seen for a while, both in comics and outside media.

It is Damian Wayne

She just had a significant appearance (and upgrade) during "Dark Crisis." Whether it goes anywhere remains to be seen.
