An Asian-American writer is behind the adventures of new Marvel superheroes Wave and Aero, who hail from Cebu and Shanghai respectively.
Alyssa Wong’s work will appear in the “Aero” comics, which follows the eponymous superhero. Aero is teamed up with Cebuana superhero Wave, who also has powers related to the elements. Wave can manipulate water, while Aero can control air. “I never got to see Filipino characters when I was growing up, so it’s so, so cool to write Wave now!” Wong said in an interview with Marvel Entertainment on July 17.

Pak tapped Wong, an award-winning fiction writer in the US, to co-write with him. He announced via Twitter on Saturday, July 20, that Wong was co-writing “Aero” stories with him starting with issue #2, which is out on Aug. 7.
