Introducing the 'New Agents of Atlas'
Luna Snow, Silk, Shang-Chi, Amadeus Cho, and more enter the 'War of the Realms' action!
BY BLAIR MARNELL
Back in 2006, AGENTS OF ATLAS brought former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jimmy Woo out of retirement and restored his youth. Alongside his friends Namora, Venus, Marvel Boy, Gorilla-Man, and M-11, Jimmy took over the Atlas organization that was previously led by his father, Yellow Claw. Under Jimmy’s guidance, the Agents of Atlas became valued heroes in the Marvel Universe.
Now, most of the first Agents of Atlas have gone their own way. Gorilla-Man recently resurfaced in AVENGERS as an Agent of Wakanda and the team’s new head of security. As for Jimmy, he’s got an eye for talented young Super Heroes and he’s recruiting. And this week, WAR OF THE REALMS: NEW AGENTS OF ATLAS #1 reintroduced Jimmy and brought together a makeshift team to protect Asia from the Queen of Cinders and the forces of Muspelheim.

BRAWN

Amadeus Cho was once the Totally Awesome Hulk. Unfortunately, the darker side of his Hulk persona nearly took over and wrecked Amadeus’ reputation. Under his new moniker, Brawn, he still has a lot of his Gamma radiation enhanced strength. And he’ll also have to step into a leadership role if the situation calls for it...
SILK

Cindy Moon spent most of her post-high school years trapped in a vault to protect her from the Inheritors. But once Cindy got out, she established herself as a hero with all of the powers that Peter Parker was given by the same radioactive spider. As Silk, Cindy is now in the process of creating her own legend.
SHANG-CHI

“The Master of Kung Fu” has had ever increasing profile within the last decade. Shang-Chi was a member of Captain America’s SECRET AVENGERS, before he was promoted to the main team. Shang-Chi can also relate to Jimmy’s plight, since his father was also the head of an evil organization. Now, Shang-Chi is offering his guidance to a new generation of heroes, while letting Brawn lead the way.
WAVE
