Page "Shang-Chi" Paragraph 26

* Sir Denis Nayland Smith is Fu Manchu's nemesis from the novels.

In the comics he retains this role, his obsession with the villain often bringing out the dark side of his own character.

In his better moments he becomes a sort of surrogate father to Shang-Chi.

Ultimately, he is too caught up in what Shang-Chi calls ' games of deceit and death ' and fails in this role.

The relationship the two finally form is that of two flawed characters who feel strong friendship in spite of deep differences.
