Marvel reveals new Filipino American hero inspired by Captain America

Filipino American Ari Agbayani is Marvel's newest addition to its growing list of heroes.

The franchise on Friday gave fans a sneak peek of Agbayani — a heroine inspired by Captain America who aims to fight for justice in her college campus."When her school turns a blind eye to fellow students behaving badly, she springs into action — and she's not afraid to fight dirty." Writer Alyssa Wong, who created the local hero together with Jodi Nishijima, explained she wanted to craft a Filipino American character from the beginning.

"There just aren't very many of us in comics! I grew up without a Filipino American community for the most part, so every time I see a Filipino character, I get excited," Wong said."And getting to create one — a Captain America, even! — feels incredibly special." Wong added that like other heroes, Agbayani"has a strong sense of justice and admires the ideals Captain America embodies."

Obviously Marvel didn’t research hard enough to know what Ari means and how it can be misinterpreted

Wala ba kaung ibang maipangalan? Ang cheap nyo nmn

Why does it have to be inspired by Captain America? We have traditional and modern heroes that could've been the inspiration for this character. A little research goes a long way, MarvelStudios.

Is she pro-VFA and will she help in the West Philippine Sea?
