Alternate Universe versions of champs = different look, same soul

Meet Peter Parker (Earth 616) and Miles Morales (Earth 1610), both the Spiderman of their respective universes http://nerdreactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/miles-morales-and-peter-parker.jpg

So I was looking around at the interesting differences in media of champs like

In one depiction he bears Caucasian features http://www.lol-wallpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Welcome-Aboard-Odyssey-Animated-Trailer-Yasuo-9-HD-Wallpaper-Background-Official-Art-Artwork-League-of-Legends-lol-500x383.jpg

and in the other he leans more Asian http://www.industriaanimacion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/league-of-legends-season-8-the-climb-yasuo.jpg

And then it hit me: Alternate reality versions of champs can be wildly different in appearance (even in what we socially identify as "race"), while still bearing the same "soul" of the champion. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelanimated/images/3/36/Spider-Men.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100926195903

I don't think that's the case here...

The outfit is important. Miles Morales can be Spiderman with no issues because Spiderman can literally be anyone. There can be any person under the mask. He's a friendly neighbourhood Spiderman. And Miles is somewhat near Peter.

Otherwise when you create characters like, the first that comes in mind now, Riri Williams and make her Ironman people complain, 'cause Ironman is not simply che Hero, but also the person (Tony Stark). You can't have one without another. In this second case, this concept is shit.

If Yasuo is white in the odissey cinematic (he has the same color in my eyes), this is not a problem 'cause he:

resembles a samurai? (ponytail, "katana"?) CHECK
is similar to his canon counterpart? (cool pants, some beard and something on the shoulder) CHECK
last but not least, has the same name? CHECK

Therefore he's Yasuo.
