Secret Identities – Perils

This is the last of 8 trailers for Secret Identities. The chapter is entitled “Peril”, which can be found on Page 183 of SECRET IDENTITIES: The Asian American Superhero Anthology. Peril was partially inspired by the real life case against Dr. Wen Ho Lee.



In the story By the Time I Get to Arizona, a young man named Mason Wong learns that his father has been incarcerated and accused of spying on the United States. His father, Dr. Benjamin Wong, was a research scientist that helped develop a series of nanotechnology prototypes that gave people superhuman abilities. Mason is sent on a quest by his fathers partner, Dr. Malcolm Eady, to retrieve a weapon before it gets into the wrong hands.



Written by Keith Chow, with art by Jef Castro, “Peril” is one of the 52 originally conceived superheroes of the S.I.Universe.

Secret Identities with Secret Asian Man Tak Toyoshima

channelAPA.com interviewed Secret Asian Man Tak Toyoshima about his contribution to the upcoming Secret Identites book. His story is about the interview he had with Larry Hama, one of the writers for G.I. Joe. However, in order to use Secret Asian Man (SAM) in Secret Identities, Tak Toyoshima had to convince United Features to allow him to do it. With everyone’s hard word and effort, you can see SAM meet Larry in Secret Identities and find out why there aren’t more Asian American superheroes.

Secret Identities – S.O.S.

This is the seventh of 8 trailers for Secret Identities. The chapter is entitled “S.O.S.”, which can be found on Page 93 of SECRET IDENTITIES: The Asian American Superhero Anthology.

Visionary Raju “Bobby” Raval, founder of “Superhero Outsource Services” aka “S.O.S.” provides a “super” support system for the thrifty Superhero in today’s tough economy — eliminating the costly hassles of sidekicks or extra team members.

Written by Tanuj Chopra and drawn by Alex Joon Kim, this wonderfully satirical piece is one of the many examples of how SECRET IDENTITIES highlights relevant, world issues by sometimes taking it to the absurd.
