“BURNING BRIGHT”
Jessán Hoan was a banker before she became “Tyger Tiger,” a legend of the Madripoorian criminal underground. She was instrumental in ousting the cybernetic Reavers from power - a feat that made her so popular, she was elected Chancellor!
But heavy is the head that wears the crown. For months, she’s fended off indirect acts of hostility from a nation that lusts to acquire Madripoor’s assets: China (see NEGATION: THE HOME FRONT #4, CAPTAIN AMERICA #35). After Chen Lu helped expose China’s plan to frame Taiwan for a nuclear disaster (see THUNDERBOLTS #17-18), Tyger Tiger granted Lu asylum in Madripoor as an act of political oneupmanship. She could not have anticipated that her longtime ally, the United States, would subsequently be taken over by an insane zealot like Helmut Zemo - who would then declare war on her small southeast Asian island nation just to get revenge on the “Radioactive Man!”
F$&@ it.. Madripoor isn’t giving Radioactive Man up. Tyger has been strengthening the nation’s defenses for months in preparation to counter a Chinese attack, and she has more than a few surprises up her sleeves. She’s prepared to handle this invasion like she would have handled a rival gang moving in on her turf back in the day. Any hostile entity who sets foot on Madripoorian soil will never leave. She’ll bury them here!
But does the Mandarin, to whom the apprehension of the treacherous Radioactive Man is already a priority, see Zemo’s invasion of Madripoor as a potential opportunity for China?

“惩前毖后”
Zemo may have awakened a sleeping dragon! The island nation of Madripoor is small but incredibly tough, as its wartime Chancellor Tyger Tiger is proving. Her conventional defense force is doing well at holding back the American advance - but Zemo has unconventional forces at his disposal…
The Fantastic Force (f.k.a. The U-Foes) are the first “family” of the Redeemers. They bring substantial and lethal powers to the battlefield. Fortunately, Tyger Tiger had been working on a Madripoorian superhuman team of her own! Enter the Raksha: Gazing Nightshade, who can induce fear with a look; Hexadecimal, technopath with the ability to control machines; and Whisper Doll, power nullifier. Can these homegrown heroes hold the line against an evil F²?
Meanwhile, Tyger is personally keeping an eye on Chen Lu, the Radioactive Man. He is, after all, Zemo’s target. But not just Zemo’s… The Mandarin wants Chen Lu dead for embarrassing the People’s Republic of China. To that end, he sends his finest assassin to subtly, quietly eliminate Chen while Madripoor is distracted. Li Hua, an immortal weapon better known as Tiger’s Beautiful Daughter, has an ability to manipulate “chi” energy that makes her both a deadly combatant and largely immune to radiation. She’s sworn to slay Chen Lu, but in a battle of tigresses, can Tyger Tiger keep the Radioactive Man alive?
All the while, from his battle blimp, the Mandarin prepares his version of the Avengers: 中国队, pronounced "Zhōngguó duì,” which translates roughly to “China Force”…

“IN THE GRIP OF THE MANDARIN”
As the Raksha valiantly defend Madripoor on the frontlines of the Redeemer invasion, Chancellor Tyger Tiger continues to personally safeguard the life of the Redeemers’ target: the Radioactive Man. But what happens when “Wind Dancer,” a.k.a. the ephemeral UFoe Vapor, sneaks in?
Meanwhile, China leverages Zemo’s attack on the island nation for its own ends. Tiger’s Beautiful Daughter, the assassin captured following the Battle of the Tigers (last issue), warns that her benefactor - the Mandarin - will not allow her to be held prisoner for long… and she’s correct.
Tem Borjigin, the Mandarin, wields the mystical ten rings and has been consolidating power for decades, even prior to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 (see CAPTAIN AMERICA #11). He is China’s “Captain America,” and he has used that status to assemble his Zhōngguó Duì (China Force). They are:
Most Perfect Hero. The name says it all. Strength. Flight. Obedience.
Resourceful Snake. Master of unarmed combat. Literally. He has no arms. They were ripped off to prevent him from becoming an Iron Fist. But he adapted and became even more dangerous!
Murderous Lion. Former warlord with steel-like living hair and a hunger for prey.
Fin Fang Foom. The enormous legendary dragon, recently reincarnated and abducted for indoctrination (see CAPTAIN AMERICA #34).
And Tiger’s Beautiful Daughter, chi master currently detained in Madripoor. Her teammates will liberate her… and subjugate Tyger Tiger in the process! But the very bombastic presence of the Zhōngguó Duì (kind of hard to hide a gigantic dragon, you know?) antagonizes Zemo’s forces. This has just become a three way battle!

“CATCH A TIGER BY THE TAIL”
Madripoor has already more than proven its disproportionate strength for such a small island nation, but how long can it stand against simultaneous assaults from two of the most powerful countries on Earth?
The Raksha managed to hold the line against the Redeemers, with Zemo’s forces eventually retreating after the double whammy of being forced to engage the Zhōngguó Duì (China Force) and then getting word of Baron Zemo’s defeat in America. Madripoor can now proudly claim to be Zemo free!
But, unfortunately, the Mandarin was able to seize the island nation and now holds it within the grasp of his ten-ringed hands. A weakened Madripoor could not stand against a mighty Chinese assembly of “heroes” that included Fin Fang Foom, Most Perfect Hero, Resourceful Snake, Murderous Lion, and Tiger’s Beautiful Daughter.
Chancellor Tyger Tiger is clapped in irons and transported to mainland China to stand trial for numerous alleged crimes, including harboring an international super-fugitive. Yet before her arrest, Tyger makes sure that the same super-fugitive - the Radioactive Man - has a chance to escape. Can Chen Lu get out of Madripoor before the Zhōngguó Duì apprehend him?
