Wave (Marvel)

Wave (Pearl Pangan) is a Cebuano superheroine appearing in the entire mainline Marvel Universe as a whole itsf. The character herself was created by writer Greg Pak and artist Leinil Francis Yu as a water-based superhero protecting the Philippines.

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.

Pearl Pangan is a native of Cebu City and has had a natural affinity for the water since she was a child. She was recruited for her swimming strength to conduct experiments with a company called Alontek. When Triumph Division raided the site and shut down the experiments she discovered she was capable of hydrokinesis (ability to control water). Triumph Division recruits her to protect the Philippines, but later fires her for abandoning her post in the War of the Realms. 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.

Iago PUC's ideas

 * A version of Wave appears as a supporting character in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2. This version is amalgamed with Marvel Cinematic Universe character Michelle Jones (renamed (Michelle Starr).

Webbed Champion continuity
A version of Wave appears in the continuity of Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, voiced by Alanna Ubach. This version is Michelle Jones, and is Liz Allan's best friend, a former Midtown High School-later-Horizon High School student and aspiring professional swimmer who (due to exposure to an Oscorp Super Soldier formula which was accidentally dropped by Spencer Smythe in a gym pool she was swimming at in Midtown High) developed water-bending abilities and superhuman speed running and swimming. Despite terrified with her mutations, Michelle became inspired by Peter Parker's heroic actions as Spider-Man, and became the new heroine Wave. Along with a Stark Industries nanotech wetsuit, and a underwater-breathing mask, she also wears a "Cuttlefish Circuit" wristband (which allows her to camouflage, switch hair color, and design artificial tattoos on her skin) and wields a pair of Atlantean nano-tech Escrima Sticks which can extend themselves into a pair of Adamantium swords and (when fused together as a bo staff) can extend itself into a trident which can fire concussive heat beams, and electro-blasts.
 * First appearing in the Webbed Champion episode "What Girls Are Made Of", she is also mentioned to have dropped out of Midtown High (which Michelle believes to have lost its way since Flash Thompson became "the soul of the school") to enroll at Horizon High (where she was accepted for her knowledge of Atlantean technology). Later in the "Family Business" arc, she (along with Peter's friends) plays a role helping him finish his parents' scientific experiments and inventions and bring their persecutors to justice. She later appears in "Seeds of Life" helping Spider-Man's friends stop the invasion of Oscorp robots in New York before battling the Green Goblin, whom Spider-Man exposes as Norman Osborn. Later after Osborn is arrested and Peter reunites with his long lost younger sister Teresa, Wave and the rest of the young heroes become members of the newly formed New Champions. Later on, in the "Legendary Universes" arc, she accompanies the Champions' travels across the alternate universes where the projects of Peter's parents originated from and destroy the discarded Oscorp products. She is among the young heroes who join the journey in "Part 3: Unlimited Speed", where they work alongside Sonic the Hedgehog and the Freedom Fighters of Mobius in defeating EggRobo and destroying Doctor Octopus's prototype Tentacle Harness. During the episode, she forms a strong bond and friendship with her partner Sticks the Badger.
 * The same version of the character appears in A Marvel Christmas Carol, but without dialogues.
 * She also appears in Marvel's Superhero Adventures: Infinity War, again voiced by Alanna Ubach. She is revealed in the show to be a closeted Lesbian teenager, and is secretly dating Kitty Pryde. So far, she only came out to her friends and fellow heroes, as well as her mothers (revealing that she is the daughter of a Lesbian couple). Wave was also a candidate for Tyler Hayward's Thunderbolt program, but (much like Spider-Woman, Jackpot, Hulkling and Wiccan) she rejected his offer; also critical to his use of metahumans (both heroes and villains) as living weapons; and also because she would feel like she was betraying her teammates by joining the Thunderbolts. However, she did sneak into Nighthawk's office in the Thunderbolts' headquarters, and obtain his classified files about his true motives and loyalty; by which Wave learned that Nighthawk was actually a mole working for Thanos, and also learned of the Mad Titan's creation of the Klyntauri (genetic hybrids of the Chitauri and the Symbiotes).
 * She returns in the show's Disney+ sequel miniseries Marvel's All-Star Multiverse, again voiced by Ubach. In the Free Adventures series, Michelle accompanies her friends on the world road trip onboard their personal Stark industries jet plane. She plays a role central role in the short "Under the Sea", where Michelle (during a trip on Greece) reveals to her friends details of her secret life in Atlantis during her early days as Wave.

Other continuities

 * Wave (also named Michelle Cage Jones) is a major supporting character in Marvel: All New, All Different Chronicles, voiced by Alanna Ubach. While her origins are the same as in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2, she is presented in the series as a founding member of Spider-Man's team the New Champions, and wields a pair of Atlantean nano-tech Escrima Sticks which can extend themselves into a pair of swords and (when tied together as a staff) can extend itself into a trident which can fire heat beams and electro-blasts. She is one of Peter Parker's friends and classmates in the Baxter Institute. Also in the show, Michelle is the older daughter of Luke Cage / Power Man and Jessica Jones / Moonstone.
