History

Uncle Rat before his transformation

Uncle Rat before his transformation

When Shang-Chi was a year old, was able to prove himself to be a worthy son of Zheng Zu from a series of tests, sparking jealousy from an older half-brother. The elder brother volunteered himself for an experimental procedure to undergo a process to bind his DNA with a rat's to greatly augment his strength. Despite gaining powers, the procedure left him heavily disfigured and Zu exiled him from the House of the Deadly Hand. For the next several years, he would take in more of Zu's exiled children, including his half-brother Lu and raised them in his underground hideout in Wu Shang City as street urchins, taking the name Uncle Rat for himself.[1]

11 Years later, Shang-Chi encountered and befriended Lu in Wu Shang City. While Shang-Chi was distracted, Uncle Rat ordered Lu to take him to their hideout. After Lu obliged, Uncle Rat revealed his past and familial relationship to Shang-Chi and Lu and out of revenge for Shang-Chi and their father, set his army of rats on him. Shang-Chi fought the rats off with Lu's help and the two fled the hideout.[1]

Uncle Rat secretly tailed the duo on their journey to the Immortal Peach Orchard. After the two exhausted themselves fighting the stone guardian, Uncle Rat used the opportunity to eat a Peach of Immortality, which transformed him further into a large mutant rat. Despite Uncle Rat's magically enhanced strength, Shang-Chi and Lu knocked him out with the stone guardian's head, which was also made of magic. The commotion woke up Zhu Bajie, who decided to punish Uncle Rat by making him the new guardian of the orchard.[1]
