Shang-Chi's now reunited and allied with his half-siblings Takeshi (Brother Sabre) and Esme (Sister Dagger) and, in his role as Brother Hand, he’s been appointed as the new leader of his long-dead father’s [[AncientConspiracy Five Weapons Society]].
But his father Zheng Zu’s past still casts a long shadow across the wider Franchise/MarvelUniverse - he was known as an infamous villain and many heroes have previously clashed with his secret societies.

!!Tropes in ''Shang-Chi'':
* BrokenPedestal: The trust Shang-Chi's siblings had in him is seemingly destroyed when he hands Takeshi over to the Avengers' custody for stealing the Cosmic Cube.
* BulletCatch: Shang-Chi catches a bullet with his ''teeth''... then spits it back at Red Dot's cybernetic eye, shattering it.
* ContinuityNod: When Shang-Chi and Spider-Man team-up, both recall when Shang-Chi developed the "Way of the Spider" martial art style with him during ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland''.
* LongLostRelative: In addition to Shang-Chi’s sister Shi-Hua and the three half-siblings introduced in the [[ComicBook/ShangChi2020 previous limited series]], this series introduces at least three more:
** His half-sister, Zheng Zhilian, who is a mutant.
** His real mother, Jiang Li.
** His maternal grandfather, Chieftain Xin.
* MagicMusic: Zheng Zhilian, the Witch of Muckross Lake, is trained in mysticism and seems to have this power. But it’s then revealed that she’s a mutant with the power to solidify music into constructs.
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Played with in the first arc, ''Shang-Chi vs. The Marvel Universe'' (but sometimes justified in-universe in ways that veer closer to PlotTailoredToTheParty):
** In a fight against ComicBook/IronMan, Shang-Chi’s within a Five Weapons Society base and has specialized adamantium weapons available, allowing him to even the odds and fight to a stand-off. And both of them agree that Shang-Chi’s seriously outmatched without that help. [[spoiler:Although it’s later revealed that the whole battle is part of Iron Man’s reconnaissance plan, to establish whether the Society still has the stolen cosmic cube, so it’s questionable as to whether it would have ended the same way if that wasn't the case]].
** Against ComicBook/Thor, he does surprisingly well after Takeshi equips him with a magical sword. [[spoiler:Which doubles as {{Foreshadowing}} - the 'sword' is actually the reshaped Cosmic Cube, stolen from Captain America in an earlier issue, which Thor and the assembled heroes are trying to retrieve]].
** Played straight when he paralyzes ComicBook/TheThing's arm with a pressure point strike, although Shang-Chi and his siblings are no match for the complete ComicBook/FantasticFour.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Jiang Li is a CanonImmigrant from the ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' film. Prior to this series, there was no mention of her as Shang-Chi's mother.
* RunningGag: Esme continually calls Spider-Man "Snot-Shooter". It bothers him enough to ask for second opinions about whether or not his webbing actually does feel like snot.
* VerbalTic: Jiang Li chitters like the bugs she psionically connected within the Negative Zone.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: As of Feb 2022, there’s been no reference to Shang-Chi's half-sisters Zheng Bao Yu (formerly known as Fah lo Suee) and Kwai Far (who only appeared in a single Black Panther story).
