White Fox (Ami Han)
The last of the kumiho, a mystical species of Korean shape-shifting nine-tailed foxes. Her grandmother, a kumiho, fell in love with a man who brought out the human side of her. Her umma was killed by a gang of Samjokgu, a mythical species of Korean three-legged dogs known for hunting kumiho. Ever since, Ami was taken in by her human paternal aunt and uncle and hid among the humans.
After rescuing her friend from the Samjokgu, she was recruited as a super-agent for the South Korean National Intelligence Service, answering to the callsign of Agent F-One and White Fox.

- Canon Immigrant: She first appeared in the Avengers: Electric Rain webseries.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Her classmates talk behind her back about how she seems too perfect... and with Super-Senses, she's well aware of what they say about her when she's not looking.
- Mystical White Hair: She has white hair due to her kumiho descent. In her youth, she used to dye it as black to disguise herself as a normal human.
- Omniglot: She knows not only Korean and English, but Greek and at least four other languages as well as Korean super-agents are required to be fluent in at least six languages.

Wave (Pearl Pangan)
A new Filipina superheroine from the province of Cebu. A formerly prospective swimmer with skills that could get her into the Olympics, financial problems kept her from pursuing her dreams... until she was recruited by AlonTech Lab, who were interested in her swimming abilities and promised her money in exchange for participating in their experiments. In the process of doing so, she gained the power of hydrokinesis, and discovered when Triumph Division raided the lab that AlonTech intended to use her for nefarious purposes. Now, she's an ally of Triumph Division and is a member of the Agents of Atlas.
- Burger Fool: After being forced to put away her dreams of becoming a professional swimmer due to a lack of money, she worked at a Bland-Name Product of Jollibee until she was recruited by AlonTech.
- Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Her co-creator and character designer, Filipino comic book artist Leinil Francis Yu, as well as one of her artists, Mico Suayan, modeled her after Filipina actress Nadine Lustre. This is likely a reference to Lustre being a popular choice for Darna, one of the Philippines's most popular superheroes.
- Fire-Forged Friends: Despite their initial conflict over politics and how to handle things, she's this with Aero.
- Jurisdiction Friction: In her debut appearance, she travels to 5,000 miles north of the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean, which is no longer in the Philippines's jurisdiction and is now in China's jurisdiction. She is confronted by Aero, who orders her to halt.
- Making a Splash: She has hydrokinesis.
- Meaningful Name:
- Her first name, Pearl, may be a reference to Nadine Lustre, the Filipina actress she is modeled after, as "Lustre" is derived from "luster", a term that can be used to describe gemstones such as pearls. Then again, long before Lustre was even born, the Philippines was already well-known for its pearls and their pearl divers, and is famously also referred to as the "Pearl of the Orient".
- "Panganib" means "risk" in Filipino, referring to her personality and her career as a superhero.
- Politically Incorrect Hero: Downplayed. Which side is "right" is not to be discussed here, but she and Aero briefly argue about the topic of territorial claims of the East Asian seas, particularly regarding the oceans near both the Philippines and China. Wave disregards that the territory she's entered is internationally recognized as Chinese territory and says that it belongs to the Philippines, while Aero tries to adhere to international law.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: She travels into Chinese territory in the Pacific Ocean because she senses that something is amiss, despite this being a violation of international law.
Luna Snow (Seol Hee)
A 22-year-old K-pop idol turned part-time superhero. While performing with her group at Stark Arena, A.I.M. agents attacked with intent to steal the arena's technology and locked her in a storage freezer for her troubles. While escaping the freezer, however, she knocked over an energy experiment, giving her the powers of cryokinesis that she would then use to defeat A.I.M.
- Early-Bird Cameo: She became a playable character in Marvel Future Fight before being properly introduced in the comics.
- Expy: A very similar character, Coldmoon, was briefly introduced in the first issue of Point One from 2011.
- An Ice Person: She has cryokinetic powers.
- Meaningful Name: "Seol" means "snow". The intended meaning behind her name is "snow hope", although a different hanja character for "hee" can also cause her name to mean "snow girl/woman" or "snow princess", among others.
- Shout-Out: A K-pop star named Luna? Hmm...
- Stage Names: Like many K-pop stars, Seol Hee's stage name was Luna. After getting her ice powers and saving the venue from A.I.M., the audience gave her the new moniker of Luna Snow, which also became her superhero name.

A ten-year-old Korean superhero. Her father, the owner of a shop selling artifacts, disappeared due to his activities on the black market.

Io
- Canon Immigrant: From Marvel Future Fight.
- Ironic Name: As described below in Meaningful Name, Io is the name of one of Jupiter's Galilean moons. However, you'd think that with his and Dan Bi's moon and bear motifs, Io would've been named Callisto instead. In Classical Mythology, the namesake of one of Jupiter's other Galilean moons, Callisto, was associated with Artemis/Diana (the goddess of the moon) and was transformed into a bear, said to become the constellation of Ursa Major.
- Meaningful Name: Io is a moon of Jupiter and has heavy volcanic activity.
