Since the OP did not say they have to be fictional characters, nor that they have to have actual superpowers (otherwise, eg, Batman would not be considered a superhero)...
1. Both parents were Chinese.
2. Born in USA.
3. Not Manga/Anime origin.
4. Not female.
5. Bonus: beat Chuck Norris.
The mold was broken after Bruce. That's why no one bothered with 9 others.

Re: Re: List of Asian American Superheroes? (RULES)
There is certainly a large population of Asian American men in the US. And you're wrong about most Asian americans being mixed race. Almost all of them aren't mixed race and those that are usually mixed race usually occurs between a white man and an asian woman, but the same isn't true for the parallel
Re: Re: Re: List of Asian American Superheroes? (RULES)
The majority of asian-americans arent mixed race by now? Well I guess I do not understand american culture and its racialist unmiscigenating ways. But I've seen that speech before, usually from angry white women and asian men unsatisfied with the white guy asian chick coupling. However I've also seen people claiming that the interacial marriage rate has equaled between asian descended men and women in the usa in the last few years. Hasn't the situation changed?
so what, you just want comic companies to invent characters that are Asian American? look at some of the terrible black and gay characters out there, diversity shouldn't be as important as artistic vision. if you want real asian American characters who will stand the test of time, they need to have more going for them aside from filling a racial quota.
Indians not allowed? This is a totally arbitrary stupid rule, and to be quite frank it furthers the misguided and actually racist notion that Asian cultural identity should be defined by far east asians only. Equally awful is saying the phillipines also don't count, which I really can't find much cause for except that you don't think they count for arbitrary and racist reasons.
Like already stated, you've trimmed down the categories with these rules until you managed to capture only 1% of the US's population... so to be frank, expecting more than 1% of superheroes to fall into this category is actually the racist part.
Re: Re: Re: Re: List of Asian American Superheroes? (RULES)
You're telling me the majority of Asian Americans are mixed race lol? Then I should say the majority of White Americans in the US should be mixed race with black and Hispanic blood in them right, due to your logic?
Can you give ma a statistic on " mixed race" americans so I can believe you? The situation hasn't changed. You still see a lot of asian american gals go out with white guys while the parallel isn't happening
i have no idea what it is you tryin to show... i think you are seriously projecting your racial views onto everyone else... you know ppl can do something without it being derived from a negative place..
ppl write and draw from what they know that doesnt make them racist b/c they didnt think of a particular race...
if anything you are the one with the issues not everyone else and to let you know my country objectifies just about every race of women some more so then asian ones..
the most common one are:
blond blue eye variety(european)
after european women you got the hispanic salma hayek the holly barry's and what not..
your whole asian thing is ludacris what you are asking for is one sided favoritism and are angry when you are not getting it.
there are other races that are almost never heard of in comics that one would assume has more reason to be written about and no one is crying about it. hispanics/blks.
if you want to see more asian americans i suggest you write jim lee or get more asian writers to right comics.. if you get any other race to write about asians they may be accused of stereo typing.
the problem is ppl write what they know nothing wrong with not knowing about or writing about a group of ppl.
