Fictional character biography
Shen Kuei is a freelance espionage operative, probably originally from Hong Kong. He has been both enemy and ally of
Shang-Chi . He is a master thief whose skill in martial arts equals Shang-Chi's. The meaning of the character's name is both similar and opposite to Shang Chi's name. He is a sort of mirror image, a 'good bad guy' in opposition to Shang Chi's 'bad good guy'. While they share mutual respect, the two always find themselves in opposition.He has appeared in
Cable & Deadpool working as a merc for Cable. He has also defeated Deadpool, who looks at him as a Rock God among mercs and has also referred to him as "TheKeith Moon of spy trade" and "TheJustin Timberlake of the Cherry Pop Club".He has a tattoo of a cat across his chest.
