History
In 1860, during the Second Opium War, the British and French forces united against China. However, the Five Weapons Society sworn protectors of China stood against the British Army. In a battle in Shanghai, a British sorcerer named Baron Harkness summoned Dormammu's Mindless Ones from the Dark Dimension, causing the deaths of several Deadly Warriors and leaving Zheng Yi mortally wounded. Using the Eyes of the Dragon, Zheng Zu tried to restore his younger brother's power and vitality at the cost of his own life. However, Yi, unwilling to leave the Society leaderless, reversed the spell, sacrificing himself and rejuvenating Zu. This restored Zu's strength and youth, enabling him to defeat both Harkness and the Mindless Ones.[1]
