[edit] Fictional character biography
Along with Abe Brown and Bob Diamond, Lin Sun was one of the most skilled students attending the martial arts school run by sensei Master Kee. Kee gave the three students each a jade talisman in the shape of a tiger’s head and forepaws, when he sustained mortal injuries due to an attack by a group of ninja terrorists. As the Sons of the Tiger, the three martial artists avenged their master’s death, and became a group of adventurers for a while.
While the other two Sons were later involved in their own adventures, Lin Sun was mystically transported to an idyllic world. There, he helped his own ancestor defeat the living embodiment of death.
Bob Diamond had been involved romantically with a woman named Lotus Shinchuko, who had joined with the Sons. As the Sons became involved in helping out superheroes, such as Iron Fist, Spider-Man, and the Human Torch, Lotus began to draw away from Bob and became closer with Lin Sun. This led to a fight between the group which ultimately tore them apart. Lin Sun and Lotus remained at the martial arts school with Abe Brown, while Bob Diamond left to resume his movie career.
