Over the years, Netmarble's MARVEL Future Fight has expanded its roster with all-new original super heroes created exclusively for the mobile action-RPG. During the recent Thailand Game Show, the developer revealed an entirely new team of heroes, the Warriors of the Sky.

The Warriors of the Sky is comprised of four super with unique powers, each representing a distinct nation in Southeast Asia: War Tiger (Thailand), Blue Dragon (Vietnam), Sun Bird (Malaysia), and Shadow Shell (Taiwan). 

“Everyone at Marvel loves collaborating with friends around the world to create characters which entertain, inspire and resonate with our global fans,” said Bill Rosemann, VP of Creative for Marvel Games. “Combining awesome powers, cool visuals and memorable backstories, the Warriors of the Sky join the Avengers, the X-Men and the Guardians of the Galaxy as Marvel’s next major super team.”
 
War Tiger – Leaping from the West, the massive War Tiger slices through evil with the mystical Tiger’s Fang. This ancient Thai general ensures the success of his fellow Warriors of the Sky with his immense power and hardened combat experience.
 
Blue Dragon - Defending the East, Blue Dragon possesses the ability to transform whatever she touches into a draconic weapon. With her heirloom spear, whip in hand, this child of Vietnamese noble family leads the Warriors of the Sky with her protective spirit and wise judgment through any challenge they may encounter.
 
Sun Bird - Soaring into battle as guardian of the South, the searing Sun Bird provides healing support for the Warriors of the Sky. With agile charm, this Malaysian pirate from the 1600s reborn by the power of his twin krises seeks to make the most of his new life by supporting the world however possible.
 
Shadow Shell - Strategizing in the North, Shadow Shell disables enemies from afar and defends her teammates with her highly advanced rifle and Ba Gua energy shield. When Shadow Shell’s adopted family in Taiwan attempted to poison her, the extremely intelligent tactician gained her unseen powers of toxic immunity and now provides battle strategy for the Warriors of the Sky.



“Creating characters with different backgrounds and diverse stories and giving players a wide variety of Super Heroes to play as is always a joy, especially with how fans have taken to our past original creations with Marvel such as Luna Snow, and Crescent & Io,” said Joe Lee, Executive Producer at Netmarble. “We also appreciate collaborating with Marvel on new concepts, especially with The Warriors of the Sky team, and we can’t wait to show more in the future.”

Although created originally for MARVEL Future Fight, hopefully, Marvel can expand upon the stories and lore of this unique and diverse super hero team through comics or possibly even the soon-to-launch Disney+ streaming service.

Luna Snow is a great character; she's been a highlight in Agents of Atlas and her one-shot was good. We'll see how these guys turn out.

@DannyN176 - I really love Luna's powers and design but her potential feels a bit limited given her carrier.
Pop Star characters rarely ever manage to work long term.

Now that Marvel is a recognized brand all over the world, they'd be smart to let various developers in different regions make up some new characters for them. They don't have to be folded into the Marvel Universe if they don't pan out, but if they do then it's a major win-win. No real downside, and you don't have to rely on American writers to imagine what would appeal to foreign audiences.

My only problem with the new characters Netmarble has made is their costume designs.
This is something that extends to comics in general. A lot of new superheroes that aren't legacy characters have very bland and basic costumes. The result is they all blend together and it makes it hard for them to stand out on their own.

As stated by the first commenter these guys look like Mortal Kombat character more than superheroes. They would blend in with just about any JRPG.
