Excellent concept, 10/10.
However....
Rocky Anoa'i? Like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who's in the Anoa'i family? At that point, why not just call him Sam Owen?

I don't understand why I would call a Somoan prince Sam Owen. I don't know who Sam Owen is. Also, I named him after Rocky Johnson, Dwayne's father, who married into the Anoa'i family. I respect Rocky, I'm a big fan. I don't care much for Dwayne.
EDIT: There's another layer to him being named Rocky, and that's that in Power Rangers Zeo, Rocky was the Blue Ranger.
It feels like you took the first two Samoans you could think of and smushed their names together rather than find an authentic Samoan name. It feels lazy, like Cho Chang.
Good bit, I'm also a fan of Rocky Johnson and The Anoa'is. But like, if I were reading this comic and tried to tell a friend about it, Rocky's name would be the part I'd feel I have to justify.
Edit: Picked a better example of lazy character naming
Rocky Johnson had an SA charge on his record, not sure if that's a guy you'd want to name your hero after.
