Teased during NYCC, and revealed during the Thailand Game Show, MARVEL Future Fight introduces four new characters based on the Four Symbols:
The leader, Blue Dragon of the east, a Vietnamese noble with the power to convert anything into a "draconic" weapon.
A Thai general, War Tiger of the west has big scythe and knowledge of war.
Taiwanese Shadow Shell of the north has toxic immunity, a rifle, energy shields and a strategic mind.
A Malaysian pirate reborn, Sun Bird of the south, has healing powers.
These characters join Crescent & Io (Korean child bound to bear spirit that fights Morgan Le Fay), Luna Snow (Korean Pop Star turned superhero) and Captain America, Sharon Rogers (Korean born American) as characters that originate from the game.
Of note, these characters are all from mostly unrepresented regions in East Asia, including Taiwan which is recognised as such.

Appeal to Asia if old.
