Shang-Chi Officially Claims MCU's Ten Rings, Changing Marvel Lore Forever
Warning: spoilers ahead for Shang-Chi #11!
In the latest issue of Marvel Comics' Shang-Chi, the titular martial arts hero just claimed the version of the Ten Rings fans know from the MCU, changing comics lore to better match his live-action counterpart. It's no secret that recent Shang-Chi comics have been making great efforts to streamline and retcon large portions of the character's history to better match Simu Liu's on-screen depiction. Now, Shang-Chi has his own set of movie-alike Ten Rings (though they're not the same Ten Rings readers might have expected).
In recent issues of Shang-Chi from Gene Luen Yang and Marcus To, Shang-Chi has inherited his late father's criminal organization known as the Five Weapons Society (not unlike the MCU's Ten Rings organization). Becoming Supreme Commander and reuniting with his estranged siblings who serve as his captains, Shang-Chi has been attempting to turn the crime syndicate into a force for good. However, that change has taken longer than he'd like, much to the concern of his fellow Avengers such as Spider-Man and Captain America. Additionally, Shang-Chi's mother Jiang Li was rescued from the Negative Zone and helped retcon their family's history with a new MCU flavor, providing Shang-Chi with origins involving the realm of Ta-Lo and his father's desire to infiltrate the land. Now, Shang-Chi's grandfather has kidnapped Jiang, motivating Shang-Chi and his siblings to travel to Ta-Lo for an epic rescue mission.
