# Luna Snow

Luna Snow, also known mononymously as Luna, is a superhero who appears in media produced by American comic book publisher Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in the video game Marvel Future Fight in 2018, and made her comic book debut in War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas #1 in 2019.

Luna Snow has appeared in a variety of additional media, including several promotional singles and music videos attributed to the character.

## Development
### Concept and creation

The name Seol Hee translates to "snow" and "hope" in Korean. The character first appeared as an original character in the 2015 video game Marvel Future Fight on January 24, 2018. The South Korean mobile game developer Netmarble requested a character described as an "ice magician who could both heal and deal damage" for the game. Seol Hee was also developed in response to fan requests for more culturally diverse characters. Marvel Games Executive Creative Director Bill Rosemann remarked on her introduction, emphasizing that Marvel's global fanbase deserves heroes who not only inspire their support but also resonate with them on a personal level. Following her debut, Marvel Entertainment released several promotional singles for Luna Snow. Seol Hee was later integrated into the Marvel Universe in 2019. The character was originally created by Danny Koo, Bill Rosemann, and Jeehyung Lee.

## Fictional character biography

Seol Hee was raised by her grandmother following the deaths of her parents. As an aspiring singer, she aimed to support her family financially. She eventually pursued a career as an idol, performing under the stage name Luna.
During a live performance at Stark Arena, Seol Hee was taken hostage by the supervillain organization Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.), after she tried to protect the attendees of the event. She was trapped within a malfunctioning cold fusion reactor. While attempting to escape, she acquired ice-based superpowers and subsequently defeated the A.I.M. forces, adopting the identity of Luna Snow.
Seol Hee fought with Crescent and White Fox against demons coming from Muspelheim. She was initially captured by Sindr before Amadeus Cho rescued her. She used her superpowers to prevent the North Pole's polar ice from melting with the help of Aero and Wave. Seol Hee and the other Agent of Atlas later defeated Sindr.
While in Tokyo, Seol Hee fought a group of wyverns after Mike Nguyen began merging various Asian cities within the city of Pan.

## Powers and abilities

Seol Hee possesses ice-based superpowers. She can create ice structures of various forms, such as icicles and barriers, which she uses both to attack her enemies and to defend herself. Her abilities notably allow her to generate dark ice with destructive effects and light ice with healing properties. Furthermore, she is an accomplished singer and dancer.

## Reception
### Critical response

Ollie Bradley of Screen Rant observed that the trend of integrating pop stars into the MCU, exemplified by Taylor Swift's wrongly rumored involvement in Deadpool 3 and Harry Styles' surprise appearance as Starfox in Eternals, made Luna Snow a prime candidate to be adapted for a live-action appearance. Bradley described Luna as a relatively new character who quickly gained popularity, bolstered by her real-life K-pop singles such as "Flow" and concluded that Luna Snow would be a fitting role for a real-life pop star.
