Fictional character biography

Zhao Tang and his sister Jhimon (Silver) were Chinese mutants who were involved in a plot to overthrow the Hong Kong government to prevent the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to the Chinese. It failed, and soon thereafter the siblings fled to Canada where they ended up as members of Gamma Flight.

Shortly after Gamma Flight was disbanded by the Federal Government the two were kidnapped by the enigmatic being known as the Sphinx. Zhao died while being experimented on by the Sphinx's scientists. Zhao's consciousness now serves to form part of a composite energy being. This being was created from Zhao, his sister, and a scientist that was investigating the site of the Sphinx's base. The base was destroyed by Spider-Man and the New Warriors.
