Wong-Chu is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He usually appears as an adversary of Iron Man, playing a key role in his origin and being the first villain he faced.
Wong-Chu was a commander during the Vietnam War, later retconned to be the fictitious Siancong War. He kidnaps Tony Stark, who is dying from shrapnel lodged in his chest, and forces him and Ho Yinsen to build weapons for him. However, Stark and Yinsen instead build the Iron Man armor to escape and stabilize the former's condition. Wong-Chu kills Yinsen, but is killed in an explosion during a battle with Iron Man.[1]
It is later revealed that Wong-Chu was a servant of the Mandarin and survived the explosion, but was scarred on the left side of his body.[2] He obtains Yinsen's disembodied brain from Doctor Midas and battles Iron Man before being decapitated.[3] Despite this, his brain is later recovered and placed in a robotic body.[4]
Powers and abilities
Wong-Chu possesses no super-human powers, but is a highly skilled martial artist, particularly in wrestling.[1]
