Co-authored by Marvel and NetEase, one of China"s biggest online comic platforms, they are a clear push by Marvel to attract more fans across the lucrative Chinese market.
這些角色是由漫威和網易合著，網易是中國最大的在線漫畫平台之一，他們很明顯是漫威為了在中國這塊大市場上吸引更多粉絲的一招。

Who are these new superheroes?
那麼新的超級英雄都有誰呢？
Lin Lie is the main protagonist in one of the new comics, which loosely translates as Warriors of Three Sovereigns.

第二部漫畫，翻譯成《旋風》，裡面的主要艾羅也叫雷玲——在白天她是一名建築師，而剛好能夠控制氣流。

Will we see them alongside classic Marvel characters?
我們會看到他們出現在經典漫威角色身邊嗎？
There"s no official confirmation, but if you look closely there"s an Easter egg in the first issue of the Warriors of Three Sovereigns - a picture of Iron Man"s mask can be seen in Lin Lie"s room.
目前還沒有官方確認，不過如果你仔細看《三君戰士》的第一期就會發現彩蛋—可以在林烈的房間里看到有一張鋼鐵俠面具的照片。
A sign Tony Stark and his Avenger colleagues could show up some time?
這會不會是唐尼.斯塔克和他的復仇者盟友們這次會出現的跡象呢？
How did the collaboration come about?

漫威於去年首次公布它將與網易合作—網易是中國最大的遊戲技術公司之一—來一起創立它的首批中國超級英雄。
Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief CB Cebulski had then said to AFP that the superheroes would be "heavily based on Chinese culture and mythology, but set in the modern world".
漫威是首席漫畫師CB.賽鮑斯基當時對法新社說這些超級英雄會很大程度上以中國的文化和神話為基礎，而又發生於現代社會。

不過不光只有超級英雄是來自中國的。
Artists and story writers from China were also heavily involved in bringing the creation to life.
