So according to ghost-maker, only 5 living people have seen his whole face and only 3 know his real name.
let’s fact check that.
obviously Bruce knows both his name and face so there should be 2 more people who know his name and four(?) more who know his face.
Angel-Breaker also knows his name evidenced below, and we can presume she also has seen his face(they’re ex-lovers btw, if anyone is unaware)
(she calls him ‘khoa bear’ im shitting myself)
the third and in theory final person who knows Khoa’s name is Ras al ghul
but as you can see Talia is right there!, and so is that rando with the sword. And I’m aware that in shadow wars ras al ghul was killed, but I’m like 80% sure that ghost-maker said only 3 people knew his name before ras’ death.
also I’m aware that batman: the knight has multiple discrepancies with ghost-maker’s original introduction, so I guess this is me pointing out another.

I think a lot of things with ghost-maker like who knows his name/face are going to get muddled and changed, mainly because tynion left dc and ghost-maker doesn’t have one stable creative team writing him anymore.
anyway I would go through everyone who has seen his face but that’s too much work, I’d love to hear other’s thoughts on this

Welcome to my Tumblr, everyone is welcome! This is my main masterlist where I will put all of my fics, one shots and imagines.
Requests are always welcome, they help me a lot to write what you’re looking for. If you do ask please use relatively detailed descriptions of what you want so I have a bit to go off of.
I write for almost any fandom so you can always ask, but these are the ones that I will mainly write for: Game of Thrones, House of The Dragon, Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy, Avatar (as in Pandora), Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Billy The Kid and The Rookie. My dm's are open to talk about our fav characters!
Limits: r4pe, self h@rm, su*c*de, other then that just ask and I'll clarify if I'm comfortable with it or not :)
In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, I’ve decided to make a long-post about the white-washing of Minhkhoa Khan aka the Ghost-maker.
To start I want to establish Khoa’s probable(it has not been said is in detail yet) race/ethnic background. Being from Singapore It’s very likely he’s Chinese, Malaysian, or Indian, as those are the most common ethnic groups in Singapore. Khoa’s last name ‘Khan’ is mostly a middle eastern(only in certian parts of the middle east)/east Asian name(I’m sure you can think of one guy in particular with this last name).
Anyway ethnic background aside, it’s been well-established that Ghost-maker is brown.
Here he is in batman v.3 109
batman v.3 106 (ft. bruce for white guy reference)
batman 2021 annual
batman: the knight #4 (again ft bruce for white guy reference)
Point being: he’s not white
So then it’s a little off to get hit with this face reveal in Batman Incorporated #7
Now does he look like a white guy? Not necessarily, he could be a lighter skinned Asian person, but I don’t appreciate the deviation from his earlier depictions as being darker. Colorism is a big deal, especially in Asia right now. Pale skin is seen as much more beautiful than dark skin, and this has led to many people doing things such as skin bleaching to achieve lighter skin tones. With this being the current state of things, it’s so important to have visibility for darker Asian people in media, and for this reason it comes across as a shitty move for dc to white-wash Minhkhoa.
Additionally dc had this alternate cover for batman inc #8, because they’re so good at diversity and totally didn’t just whitewash this guy :)
(btw not saying dc did any of this on purpose/with malicious intent, but rather that regardless of intention this was bad and they should fix it)
tldr: dc white-washed ghost-maker despite him being previously portrayed as much darker-skinned
