ka-zar is filipino!

well ... kinda. maybe he just knows some of the language. or a mangled version thereof.

here's a sequence in New Avengers #43. in the Savage Land, a bunch of superheroes show up to fight the combined Avengers, and we all know that the former are all Skrulls. the ersatz Captain America keeps insisting otherwise, but is fed a chockful of blowdarts courtesy of Ka-Zar and the natives.


Ka-Zar says "Matumba Salana" which to me sounds like "Matumba Ka Sana!" or "Matumba Ka Na!" which roughly translates to "why don't you fall down and stay DOWN, biatch!!!"



or this was just Bendis laughing at us, because Leinil Francis Yu whispered something in his ear.

Of course he's Filipino. Duh! His name is Ka-zar. As in, "Wala nang banana-cue? Ka-zar naman o."
