Always wondered what a Malaysian superhero might look like? Wonder no more as Marvel has envisioned one, albeit for a mobile game rather than a comic book or movie.

Marvel's rendition of a superhero with Malaysian origins, Sun Bird, has batik motives on his vest and wield two keris as weapons, according to Marvel Games senior producer Danny Koo. When Sun Bird engages with other characters, the way he speaks will be familiar to Malaysians.
