Conceived in the 1970s by
Jim Starlin and
Steve Englehart,
Shang-Chi first appeared in Special Marvel Edition #15, an issue released in December 1973. Shang-Chi was created in the comics as the son of
Fu Manchu, a literary character from which Marvel acquired the rights at the time.
Fu Manchu, a ruthless criminal genius, created Shang-Chi to be an extermination machine. However, the boy has always possessed a keen sense of justice, and as soon as he realized his father's nefarious intentions, he decided to turn against him. Threatened, Fu Manchu hired several criminals to murder his son.
Many years later, Marvel lost the rights to Fu Manchu, and Shang-Chi was given an adaptation of his story. Now, we find out that the hero's father figure is named
Zheng Zu, a powerful immortal sorcerer. In
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the character Wenwu (Tony Leung) promises to merge characteristics of Zheng Zu - formerly called Fu Manchu - and the supervillain Mandarin.
