Their meeting was cut short when the Bride of Nine Spiders joined the fray and asked Danny to speak with her on a rooftop in private. After joining Iron Fist in combat, the two discovered that they had been sharing the same nightmares. When he discussed with Madame Web about his nightmares, she left him only with a cryptic fortune. Shang then fought alongside other heroes in defending New York against the threat of spider-powered criminals.ĭuring this time, he had horrible nightmares that involved the Immortal Weapons and himself as a spider attacking innocent civilians. Įventually, Shang-Chi became infected by the spider plague and developed the same set of powers as Spider-Man. When his spider-sense returned, it worked in harmony with the techniques Shang taught him, turning the tide in a decisive battle against Tarantula. When ordinary New Yorkers started developing spider powers, Spider-Man was forced to rely on Shang-Chi's training in several situations. He donned special magnetic gloves and shoes during their sparring sessions to help Spider-Man develop a unique fighting style that complemented his spider powers. Spider-Islandīefore the events of Spider-Island, the new Madame Web, Julia Carpenter, asked Shang-Chi to train Spider-Man in martial arts to compensate for the loss of his spider-sense. After that, he became an important ally for Rogers' unit, aiding the team whenever they needed. Shang teamed up with Steve Rogers and his Secret Avengers to oppose his father. Shang-Chi's illustrious father returned to the world with the assistance of the Shadow Council. Grieving over how completely he had lost his way, Shang-Chi left the Heroes to meditate and renew his connection to his spirit. After hearing of Humbug's betrayal of Tarantula, however, Shang-Chi lost his temper and murdered Humbug. Shang-Chi infiltrated the hive with the intent to rescue Humbug and hopefully sever his link to the newborn hive. When the hive tried to identify the hatchling's killer, Humbug gave the hive Tarantula's name instead. Humbug was then seduced into an insect hive-mind with No-Name of the Brood. During the Hulk's invasion of Manhattan, their teammate Humbug killed one of the insect-like hatchlings as they infiltrated the hive. When the Superhuman Registration Act was signed into law, Shang-Chi joined Misty Knight and Colleen Wing as part of their Heroes for Hire team of investigators and superhuman bail bondsmen.ĭuring this time, he developed romantic feelings for his teammate Tarantula, but her overly violent nature shamed him, and he lost his center. The martial artist assisted Daredevil, Black Widow, and their allies against the Punisher and several other threats before the group went their separate ways. When Daredevil wanted a task force to help him finally capture the Punisher and make him face legal justice, Shang-Chi became a part of that group. He resurfaced to assist his old friends from MI-6 against the Si-Fan ninjas. Īfter years of playing at "games of deceit and death", Shang-Chi retired from the espionage world. His travels led him to meet a number of other martial artists and superheroes around the world: he met his rival, Cat and teamed up with Iron Fist, Jack of Hearts, and White Tiger to take down the Corporation. In retaliation, Fu Manchu sent a number of assassins to kill him. He then began to attack various elements of his father's criminal empire and allied himself with his father's archenemy, Denis Nayland Smith, and MI-6. However, Shang-Chi became aware of his father's evil nature and defected after his first assignment.
