Marvel Comics introduced a new Korean hero. 

On February 5th, Marvel Comics' freelance writer Jed Mackay retweeted a tweet from PREVIEWSworld relaying news regarding the upcoming 3rd Taskmaster comic. According to the revealed sneak peek at the upcoming episode, Taskmaster will go against the Korean hero 'Taegukgi' from South Korea's national superhuman espionage agency.

I would have liked to have this character look more like a lead character than a side show piece. Even the costume looks so generic. As a Korean, I feel like this is just an afterthought. I don't really see a lot of effort put in the character's creation. But I guess, thanks for making one?
