X-23 is a female clone of Wolvie. Thus, azn be she not.
‘Grunge’ Chang (Gen13-Wildstorm)
Grail (Wetworks-Wildstorm)
Tripli-kate (Invincible-Image)
Jimmy Woo (Yellow Claw-Marvel)
Jenny Quantum/Jenny Quarx (The Authority-Wildstorm)
EDIT:
Toyo Harada (Harbinger-Valiant)
Fuji (Stormwatch-Wildstorm)
Kaizen Gamorra (Stormwatch-Wildstorm)
Rai (Rai-Valiant)
Dr. Mirage (The Second Life of Dr. Mirage-Valiant)
Tana Moon (Supercloneboy’s girlfriend)
Lois Chaudhari (Clark Kent’s girlfriend in Secret Identity)
Rice Wilder/Wild Rice (criminal from The Spirit)
I’ll be back later to finish the rest of the edits. Also, does Lois Chaudhari really count? She’s Indian, right? Some Indians I’ve met considered themselves Asian, but I believe some Indians do not identify as Asian.
We have some issues to discuss for the racial draft.
ASIAN HUDDLE NOW
India is in Asia, because America said so. End of story.
I’ll hold off on the Indian controversy until I get more feedback from the others.
Now, a brief comic strip everyone can enjoy!
Shi is mixed (japanese father, american mother)
well no one who likes van damme that much can be real. anyway clinty you should go int fgd and read the van damme thread there
Yeah, I think Az posted it in the Lounge Thread, unless you’re talking about a different Van Damme thread…
Good stuff, but I think the guys in FGD handled it sufficiently well. That isn’t my world.
I’m moving AGAINST Indian inclusion. Just for everything else in like real life, they don’t get to fit under our “Asian” label umbrella. Get these “South Asian” people out of this thread - MAKE YOUR OWN!
That means you, Desi.
Oh man, I don’t believe we forgot Shi. Any other mid 90’s Bad Girl Era (ie. Dawn, Barbed Wire, Razor) characters we’re forgetting? I completely forgot about the rest of Wildstorm and Image - good looking out, Shengy. Though we forgot Tripli-Kate’s twin brother…uh…Tripli-Kate’s twin brother.
Are there any major characters in the David Mack Kabuki titles we can include as well? I’ve never touched any of those. The main character is just called Kabuki, right?
EDIT: OH! And Ringo Chen from Garth Ennis’ Hitman. In summary…
Tripli-Kate’s twin brother (Invincible) - need to go back and find his name…
Kabuki (Kabuki)
Ringo Chen (Hitman)
Xorn (Though I doubt anyone could say for sure)
Collective Man
South Asia is still Asia. The only place the southern region of a continent should be completely disregarded is America, where everything below the Mason-Dixon line should be summarily ignored in all matters not related to tractor pulls and corn husking.
lol, racial draft, anyone?
i just looked up fin fang foom on wikipedia, and it says that he’s an alien. :annoy:
Okay, so this has been bugging me for since the whole five hours ago that I read the entirety of the thread, especially since I thought there were more fans of Invincible, especially ones that had more comics of it than I had.
The girl’s name was Dupli-Kate.
Her brother’s name is supposedly Multi-Paul.
They’re puns.
…
…Also, you kind of obviously messed Nico Minoru’s parents. I would count them as characters worthy of the list since they were a part of the Pride. However, you never did specify how many issues someone should be in to “qualify”.
Oh, and if we’re including Fu Manchu because he appeared in League of Extraordinary Gentleman, then I don’t see how we can leave out all the Asian people in Street Fighter by Udon since that’s an American comic. (Or is it?)
Random EDIT: I just randomly remembered this for some reason, which is really odd since I’ve never read a …whatever Avengers book for the future, but I think that Juggernaut’s kid, the one that exists in the same future as Spider-Girl, is half-Asian.
I think his name is J2, but I’m not sure about the half-Asian thing; I’m just assuming that he is because I vaguely recall his mother having black hair (though picture in my head might not even be her) and since Juggernaut’s like the biggest white guy out there…
Oh, and speaking of random, from something else I never read, I believe that The Quiz in the Brotherhood of Dada from Doom Patrol is supposed to be a Japanese woman. It’s just difficult or impossible to tell due to her germaphobe.
Okay. Any other Asians or Indians have anything to add on this notion? Or shall we just agree that Indians need their own thread?
Everyone I’ve added to this list, I’ve looked up online to verify their Asianness. I can’t think of any other Bad Girls we haven’t mentioned. Lady Death? She looks white to me. And I always assumed Barbed Wire is white because of that movie. Who the hell is Razor? We don’t need her anyway.
Yeah, a number of major characters in Kabuki are Asian as well. I’ve added the most memorable ones to the list. I just figured naming the main character would be enough and we’d be able to figure out the rest by association. A bigger list does make me feel better, though… almost as though I am compensating for something.
Xorn is Jewish.
India has enough people to be its own country. In fact, I believe it is a separate country from Asia. Wait, is Asia even a country? Oh, well. I don’t really care. I am American, after all.
Seriously, though, if we start counting South Asia or India, then we have to claim Asia Minor as well. In fact, I’ll claim Atlantis while we’re at it. That used to be off the tip of Crete, right? Asia Minor. Namor the Sub-Mariner is one of us, baby, an ASIAN. Just look at those slinty eyes.
Fine, whatever, we’ll call him a hapa if it makes everyone feel better.
Yeah, I figured it would be okay to assume they were Asian by association. Otherwise I’d have to start adding everybody’s parents, y’know? And I remember an issue where Iceman had dinner with Opal Tanaka’s parents and I didn’t think they were worth listing.
But the Minorus are in Runaways, so they deserve their own specific spot. Good watching out, Damny.
I left out the Street Fighter people because they are based on the game - a licensed property. Fu Manchu in LoEG is based on a novel character, but the Fu Manchu in the LoEG comic is basically, to me, a new character worthy of our list because he’s in the public domain. Plus, Alan Moore wrote that comic and we need more of that.
But this is a good point about licensed properties. If we’re counting licensed properties (and I personally don’t think licensed comics characters have a place on our list), then we may have to have another ASIAN HUDDLE NOW. If we’re allowing licensed characters, then we could have, like, George Takei’s character from Star Trek.
Someone should do some fact checking about those GI Joe characters. Were they created in the comics first or were comics based on the toys or cartoon? If we have to cut Storm Shadow, I might cry.
Excellent call. I should have remembered that. I just read that a couple months ago. I have a terrible memory for an Asian. I’m not even good at math.
While we’re on the subject of Doom Patrol, I’m am going to go ahead and claim Danny the Street as one of us.
Asia is a continent. Asians are people who come from countries in/on the Asian continent. India is in/on the Asian continent. Therefore, Indians are Asians.
Indians are caucasians.
swift from the authority is asian
I also nominate Captain Barbel and Darna
eh, why not. There aren’t that much to add to the list that I can think of though, the Engineer from Authority? (or is she Hispanic? Her last name is Spica, lol), Dr. Kavitha Rao from Astonishing X-men, Jonny Quest’s friend.
Foreign comcs aren’t counted or else we’ll be here forever.
Ooops.
In my defense, when I was trying to think of her name, I recalled that scene where she had a threesome with another character and then I googled “Tripli-kate Invincible” and had 3 hits. lol. WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE LINTY !?
EDIT:
oooh good call on Teeko-Meeko. Speaking of Vertigo, Cedric from “Fight for Tomorrow”.
