Asians of the DCU

[Agent Z]

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?

dcu's first on-screen asian superhero?

Asian-American male hero, for sure. We don't get nearly enough Asian-American male representation on the Silver Screen.

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.

Damian's name is derived from the Greek name Damianos. There is also Athanasia al Ghul from the Injustice 2 prequel comics. And Artemis Crock though admittedly this applies to her YJ cartoon counterpart.

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.

This just makes me wish he was part the show proper. Loads and loads of characters be darned; they could fit him in.

The show's getting a fourth season. Maybe he'll appear there.

Crisis on Infinite Earths Adds Supernatural Alum as the New 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?
