History
In the 1860s, Xu Xialing escaped to America, seeking a new beginning, but instead fell prey to a sinister plot orchestrated by the Hood, who used fear and violence to vilify Chinese immigrants and consolidate his power. By 1872, her brother, Shang-Chi, was on a relentless quest to find her, accompanied by Kate Bishop, who sought vengeance against the Hood for the murder of her family.
Their journey led them to a ghostly, decimated township where they encountered a young boy, Kwai Jun-Fan. He revealed that the Hood's forces attacked the settlement and departed on a train. Determined, Shang-Chi, Bishop, and Jun-Fan pursued the train, boarding it in a daring move. Onboard, they uncovered the Hood's horrifying scheme: the missing immigrants have been brainwashed by his enforcer, Sonny Burch, and turned into his loyal soldiers.
As the situation turned dire, the enigmatic Watcher intervened subtly, ensuring Jun-Fan's survival. Meanwhile, Shang-Chi and Bishop were captured and brought before the Hood, who shockingly revealed to be a corrupted Xu Xialing. Consumed by power, she had killed the original Hood and claimed his dark abilities for herself. Burch, eager to maintain his dominance, confessed to killing Bishop’s parents and attempted to brainwash her. However, Jun-Fan, inspired by the Watcher's guidance, rang a bell, breaking the spell on the brainwashed prisoners. This allowed Bishop to confront and incapacitate Burch.
Torn between loyalty and justice, Shang-Chi refused to either fight or join Xialing, leaving Bishop to make the agonizing choice. She killed Xialing, ending the Hood's reign of terror but leaving Shang-Chi heartbroken. As peace returned to the freed immigrants, Shang-Chi and Bishop watched over Jun-Fan, who vowed to lead his people to safety. The duo rode into the sunset, haunted but resolute.[1]See Also
