WARNING: Spoilers for Ultimates #15 below.
In issue #15 of Ultimates, penned by Deniz Camp, Von Randal, Erick Arciniega, and Travis Lanham for VC, the story revolves around Shen Qi, known to fans as Shang-Chi. In the Ultimate Universe, Shang-Chi was a guardian of Heaven, specifically the Immortal City of K’un-Lun, teaming up with the Immortal Weapons. This comic not only showcases Shang-Chi’s impressive fighting skills but also reveals that he was the eighth bearer of the Iron Fist. To earn
If Shang-Chi Is the New Iron Fist, What Happened to Danny Rand?
Following the annihilation of the demon army, Shang-Chi developed a strong disdain for violence due to the constant sight of blood. This experience led him to venture into the most isolated parts of K’un-Lun, where he closed his eyes and embarked on a 40-year meditation journey. Over time, Shang-Chi transformed into a spiritual leader, with followers showing reverence at his feet. He utilized his newfound wisdom to revitalize barren lands and mend the sick. However, word of these miracles reached the Immortal Weapons, who ultimately took his life.
Even though it’s been 10,000 years since the event occurred, there’s a sense of renewal. Rumors circulate about a child born ten years ago in Heaven and a fiery dragon soaring through the skies. Any person near this child experiences healing, while fearsome man-eating tigers act as docile kittens around him. The Ultimates have received information that this special boy is hidden away in Tibet. They are now on a mission to locate him.
In modern, conversational language: It’s rumored that Shen Qi, also known as the Ultimate Iron Fist, has been reborn. The Ultimates, a powerful group in the Marvel Universe, are trying to find this new Iron Fist, and Danny Rand is their guide. Danny, who was once Iron Fist himself, befriended Luke Cage while they were both imprisoned. He felt drawn to join the Ultimates on this mission, suggesting he might become the new host for the Iron Fist. However, upon arrival at the rumored location, they find that someone else may have already claimed the title – it could be a young boy who’s suspected to be the new Shang-Chi. Meanwhile, Uranium Brother, one of Hulk’s deadly weapons, is already causing chaos.
1. Danny Rand intervenes and rescues Shang-Chi from the Uranium Brother. Interestingly, Shang-Chi recognizes Danny by name.
2. The battle between She-Hulk and Uranium Brother concludes with the former tearing off the latter’s head.
3. However, the most intriguing aspect is what lies ahead for Shang-Chi, Danny Rand, and the Iron Fist. Will Shang-Chi join the Ultimates as they gear up for The Maker’s comeback? Could Danny Rand be the next Iron Fist holder? These are questions I’m eager to find out.
