Fictional character biography
Wave (Pearl Pangan) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She was created by writer Greg Pak and artist Leinil Francis Yu as a water-based Cebuano superhero protecting the Philippines.[1]
Wave made her debut in the limited series War of the Realms, New Agents of Atlas in May 2019 and reprised her role as a member in the follow-on limited series Agents of Atlas (vol. 3). She also appeared in the series Aero teaming up with the title character.[2][3]
Pearl Pangan is a native of Cebu City and had a natural affinity for the water since she was a child. She is recruited for her swimming strength to conduct experiments with a company called Alontek. When Triumph Division raids the site and shuts down the experiments, she discovers she is capable of hydrokinesis (ability to control water).[2] Triumph Division recruits her to protect the Philippines, but later fires her for abandoning her post in the War of the Realms.[4] During the War of the Realms, Wave and the Agents of Atlas battle Sindr, the daughter of Surtur, to prevent her from melting the polar ice caps and turning Asia into New Muspelheim.[5]
