Anyone else notice that DC seems to have a thing for half-white, half-Asian children who have Asian mothers that are/were villains and have Greek forenames?

Who do we even have that fits all that criteria? Especially the Greek forename bit?
The only one that even pops into mind is Cassandra Cain but even she's kind of a cheat since both her parents were bad, not just her mom.
Lian doesn't fit. Rose doesn't fit. Emiko doesn't fit. Damian doesn't fit.
So two alternate universe characters?
Well I'll concede on Damian which is a surprise to me, but isn't his name actually just supposed to be a play on Demon? I'm Greek and I've never heard of the name Damianos before until today, haha. Well OK I have but it's not exactly pronounced the same. Dah-Mee-Ah-n
Ryan Choi was referenced in the previous episode of Young Justice. Malcolm mentions him sending over her Bumblebee equipment from Ray Palmer's lab.
Damian Wayne is one
A new Asian (Korean) character will be introduced soon in the pages of Red Hood and the Outlaws :
And it's a boy, by the way !
Aww, he's adorableee! Looks like he would be in a K Pop group ^__^
Crisis on Infinite Earths Adds Supernatural Alum as the New Atom
https://www.cbr.com/crisis-on-infini...yan-choi-atom/If you can believe it, this year's Arrowverse crossover just got even bigger.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Supernatural alum Osric Chau will play Ryan Choi, aka the Atom, in "Crisis on Infinite Earths." Choi is described as "a physics professor at Ivy Town University" who "is just a normal guy who comes to learn that he has a pivotal role to play in the coming crisis."

I wouldn't assume that he will become the new Atom. They've been having Palmer use the suit less and less frequently. He might become the Legends' science guy though - that'd be cool.
Does DC have any Filipino characters who are practitioners of Escrima?
