Character Spotlight: Luna Snow

Last month, as a lead-in to a new event called "War of Realms", Marvel released a book called New Agents of Atlas that featured a team of all-Asian superheroes. Several of those superheroes were canon immigrants, and there just so happened to be four of them. So June is going to be Agents of Atlas month!

This week: Luna Snow!


Marvel Future Fight is a mobile fighting game that pits Marvel characters from different dimensions against each other. Occasionally, that means creating original characters from the multiverse we've never seen before. The first example of this was a new version of Captain America (Steve's daughter from a world where he was never frozen), and another example we'll see next week: Crescent.

Luna Snow was added to Marvel Future Fight in January 2018. What's interesting is that, since she's a K-pop idol, she's also had a few singles: "Tonight" (July 2018) and "I Really Wanna (feat. Krysta Youngs)" (December 2018).


Luna Snow's story is a little wild. She was a K-pop singer who was performing at a Stark Industries event when AIM attacked and locked her in an experimental cold storage container, where the exposure to new cold fusion technology gave her ice powers. Notably, as you'll see again next week, all of Marvel Future Fight's original characters are Korean; this even includes the first - Captain America, aka Sharon Rogers - who was born in South Korean while Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter were stationed there. This is because the creators of Future Fight, NetMarble Games, is a Korean company.

In New Agents of ATLAS #1 (May 2019), Luna Snow debuts fighting alongside Crescent and Io and White Fox to protect Korea against an invasion of Dark Elves.
