Yeah, I firmly believe Action Man should have nothing to do with this. You can change nationalities without much else changing -- hell, I was reading US Marvel GI Joe reprints in Action Force Weekly and imagining international accents in my mind but it didn't change the stories! Sticking in a super-agent-type who's never been a part of it beyond that Night Force 6-pack would take it too far from the core concept, though.
And from Quick Kick's Action Force filecard:
"Subject's Japanese father and Korean mother owned a grocery store. Not accepted by the Chinese because of his mixed ancestry, Quick Kick turned to martial arts. All martial arts." -- then it continues as the US version. I assume he was born after his parents migrated, but why they'd migrate to China I don't know... I guess the change from a westernised name makes sense with that bio, though; they did alter a few to make them suit their birthplaces more.
