Lo-Pan

**Lo-Pan**, sometimes written as **Lo Pan**, is the main antagonist in the 1986 action/comedy film *Big Trouble in Little China*. He is a merciless and conniving sorcerer who just wants to have flesh again in order to rule the universe. Lo-Pan has a legion of followers who will die to protect him and three skilled martial artists with supernatural and elemental powers at his side, named Thunder, Lightning and Rain whom together are known as The Storms.

Lo-Pan is the main antagonist of the final third of WPSA: Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 2nd Season (chapters 33-50), succeeding Hiram Burrows, Farley Havelock. Teague Martin, Daud, and the Whalers. He later becomes the second-in-command of Rustal Elion, upon Burrows' defeat, not knowing that he plans to take over the rest of Gjallarhorn and use them as means of starting world domination.

Lo-Pan, The Storms, and a group of his loyal followers known as Wing Kong initially act as a "helping hand" and an "ally" to the WPSA and Tekkadan in an attempt to stop Burrows', along with Havelock, Martin, and Daud, as well as with them crippling the entirety of the Gjallarhorn forces.

However, this form of "alliance" and "comradeship" is later revealed to be a ruse who later betrays the WPSA and every ally the WPSA have including the Tekkadan and their allies including Kudelia Aina Bernstein and the Turbines, making Lo-Pan the true antagonist of the overall WPSA: Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans series, along with The Storms, who plans to rule all of Mars with an iron fist, using the remaining members of Seven Stars and all of Gjallarhorn as his own puppets, as well as Rustal Elion.

## Powers and Abilities

Lo Pan is a dark sorcerer with immense powers that not something to be toyed with, as noted by Uncle Chu and Egg Shen.

* **Longevity**: Uncle Chu mentioned that Lo-Pan has spirit-medium powers that bestow him longevity, enabling him to survive to modern era whilst enduring curse of No Flesh.
* **Intangiability**: As result of curse of No Flesh, Lo-Pan was reduced into a non-corporeal entity that can pass through anything. In order to become corporeal again, he must perform supplication to the gods albeit the gained decrepit body would be destroyed after a certain amount of time, reverting him into a non-corporeal being once again. The curse of No Flesh was eventually broken and he finally became mortal once again, which unfortunately made him able to be harmed by anything that would kill normal humans.
* **Light Manipulation**: Lo-Pan can emit bright light from his mouth and eyes that would induce temporal blindness.
* **Unlimited Demon Control**: Lo-Pan can put demons under his control via dark magic bond. The catch is, should he get killed, the killer would inherit the dark magic bond between him and his demons, resulting on said demons switching their allegiance to their master's killer until others took the dark magic bond by killing him. This was revealed in the comic book series where after he murdered Lo-Pan, Jack was now facing another trouble where he inherited Lo Pan's dark magic bond that made Lo-Pan's yeti-like demon show up and offer its servititude to him.
* **Hypnosis**: Lo-Pan had demonstrated the power to hypnotize people, putting them into a trance state for any time period he desired. He used this to hypnotize his brides Miao Yin and Gracie so the marriage went smoothly.
* **Mystical Beam Emission**: Like Egg Shen, Lo-Pan can project a destructive mystical beam that can virtually destroy anything it hits. Interestingly, during the beam struggle between Egg Shen and Lo-Pan, their respective beams would manifest into two swordsmen that would fight against each other where should one of them overpower the other, the said swordsman's beam would passe through the opponent's and destroy him. Unfortunately, this was merely theorized as during said beam struggle, Lo-Pan and Egg Shen's powers were even, resulting in their beams simply exploding without any of them getting struck.
