Shang-Chi, the Master of Kung-Fu, is the estranged son of The Mandarin, leader of the terrorist organization known as "The Ten Rings". Shang-Chi once worked for the MI-6 - the UK’s secret intelligence service - against the Ten Rings, but has since abandoned that world, until a deadly conspiracy draws him back into a dangerous battle. Clive Reston is a seasoned veteran and Shang-Chi’s old partner and friend, who is now married to Leiko Wu, an elite operative who once had strong feelings for Shang-Chi. Takeshi Matsuya is a young computer hacker who becomes Shang-Chi's associate after he leaves the MI-6. Reston recruits Shang-Chi to infiltrate an underground martial arts tournament organized by The Mandarin and learn what he is planning, forcing Shang-Chi to work alongside Leiko and Black Jack Tarr, an elite martial artist who enjoys the thrill of the battle. Shang-Chi's opponents include his siblings, Cursed Lotus and Moving Shadow, and The Mandarin's enforcers Steel Claw, Midnight Sun, Razorfist and Ghostmaker. The Mandarin has his rings of power, and his masterplan is to awaken the legendary dragon Fin Fang Foom to help him conquer the world.
