Jeremy Lin is officially in the comic book following the release of the “Totally Awesome Hulk” edition starring the Brooklyn Nets star. He stars alongside the main star Amadeus Cho which was all made possible by comic book creator Gregory Pak.
Pak was one of many who was captivated by Jeremy Lin when the American-Asian broke out back in 2012. Following Lin’s humble beginnings, Pak found a way to use the 28-year-old’s story and use is a form of inspiration.
Readers will have to get hold of the comic book to find out what Jeremy Lin would be doing. The Nets guard did not get involved in the process, allowing Pak to have a freehand on how to script the plot.
For those who are unaware, “Totally Awesome Hulk” is the new rendition of “The Hulk”. From Bruce Banner, Amadeus Cho is now the new Asian-American hero which is seen as perfect for Jeremy Lin to be cast in, ESPN reported.
Aside from being honored with the comic book casting, Jeremy Lin sees it as a perfect opportunity to the Asian-American community. Lin has been making a stand against discrimination as he tries to break down barriers on the line setting Asians aside, NY Daily reported.
Lin is technically not the only Asian to be case by Marvel. Jimmy Woo from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an example. For those following the TV rendition, notable is Ming-Na Wen who plays “Agent Melinda May”.
After the back-to-back issues with Jeremy Lin, Pak reveals that Cho will be teaming up with other Asian-American personalities from Marvel. Aside from Woo, there is “Silk” and “Kamala Khan” are lined up possibly more.
As far as basketball is concerned, Lin recently returned from injury but is playing on restricted minutes. Lin is recovering from a hamstring injury and the charges of Kenny Atkinson have since spiraled to the lower part of the Eastern Conference standings with a 7-19 win-loss record.
No one was able to fill up the void left by Jeremy Lin though the Nets could still make a go for a possible playoff spot. Check out the video below covering the addition of "Linsanity" to Marvel's "Totally Awesome Hulk".
