First icon post to this journal!

*\0/*

I've got another one already in the works and ideas for others, but for the moment here are 23 icons of James "Jimmy" Woo, the awesome young Chinese-American head of the mysterious Atlas Foundation and the leader of the superhero team known (only to us, not in-(Marvel)-universe AFAIK) as the Agents of Atlas.

Made for the [community profile] notgreenorblue challenge using the prompt "Jimmy Woo - Attitude".

A few points:
- The icons are free for the taking.
- Please credit me if you take/use any. Comments (including concrit) would be much appreciated but are not needed.
- The textless icons here may not be used as bases.



That's the Jimmy Woo I remember )

For [personal profile] blackruzsa on scans_daily, who requested any of a series of moments mentioned in an article entitled "The Balut in a Superhero's Underpants".

It says that "[i]f the Americans have their Easter Eggs, we Filipinos have our Balut Eggs. (Okay, I just made up that term, but it seems appropriate anyway.) Balut Eggs are those moments when Filipinos (or something Pinoy) suddenly pops up in foreign movies, TV shows, novels, and comic books."

It goes on to list several of those moments that appear in American comic books. I was intrigued by one of them - in Marvel Comics’ “Agents of Atlas,” Mt. Pinatubo erupts again and Sentry flies in just in time to rescue a damaged Phivolcs helicopter - so I went to do a little digging and to my surprise, I found I had it.

Jimmy Woo and the other Agents of Atlas, while clearly a group of "good guys" (at least to us readers!), have occasionally used the fact that the Atlas Foundation was formerly an evil empire to their advantage.



Below, in two full pages and one panel from the eight-page Agents of Atlas story "The Heist" in Dark Reign: New Nation, they break into Fort Knox (very publicly) and make off with a large amount of solid gold bullion. Their aim is to figure out who was behind a plan to buy weapons without the inconvenience of getting Congress approval first.

Of course, they've also been on the receiving end - particularly at the hands of Jimmy's once-girlfriend and current (during the particular story arc) nemesis, Suwan a.k.a the Jade Claw. She is the head of the Great Wall, an offshoot and rival of Jimmy's Atlas Foundation. After constantly pounding at Atlas' door (commandeering their communications channels (twice) and causing the saucer heavy damage in a firefight), she decides to enjoy herself a little - on a personal level - during another fight.

Truly this is Shangri-La for me. To feel sensual pleasure while my forces overcome my enemies...is purest bliss. )

So there they are: the Agents as heroes both playing *at* being villains and being played *by* villains. I love their versatility and I miss them.

This is from Agents of Atlas: Dark Reign #7. In the previous issue, Namora and Namor decide to get married.

But before going through with it, Namora feels she needs to settle something with Jimmy. I like his response because it shows he understands something important ).
