Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Opens Friday...

...so why not learn about his earlier exploits before the flick opens in theatres on Thursday night?

Start with his first "team-up" with Marvel's other martial-arts masters against his daddy...Fu Manchu!

Yes, you read that right!

His father is (or was) the legendary Asian Master of Menace!

You'll note there's no mention of the "Devil Doctor" in the upcoming movie Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings!, though Shang's father does appear!

When Marvel lost the licensing rights to Fu, they modified the character of Shang's father in comics to become Zheng Zu, an immortal sorcerer, and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Mandarin, based on a "Yellow Peril"-type supervillain dating back to the 1960s, who was Iron Man's arch-enemy.

(The movie Iron Man 3 introduced a false Mandarin, an imposter played by an out-of-work actor, into Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity.

The Mandarin in Shang-Chi is the real character, heading the Ten Rings terrorist/criminal group which wounded and kidnapped Tony Stark, forcing him to become the Armored Avenger in the first Iron Man film.)

Finally, have a look at the only never-reprinted Shang-Chi story...which was also the first alternate-universe tale about the character!
Then go enjoy the movie!
