Midnight Sun (M’Nai)

## Origin

As a child, M'Nai was the lone survivor of a British attack on a village of Fu Manchu's agents. Fu Manchu saw the hatred in the boy's eyes and decided to raise him alongside his own son Shang-Chi, who became M'Nai's best friend. M‘Nai and Shang-Chi fought together many times on various occasions but eventually, when Shang-Chi broke with his father, M’Nai started to hate him and Fu Manchu sent him, now called Midnight Sun, to locate him.

## Shang-Chi

Midnight tracked down Shang-Chi and fought him, M’Nai used his knowledge of Shang-Chi’s fighting style to defeat him. Right as Midnight Sun was about to kill Shang-Chi, Shang realised that it was M’Nai after comparing their fighting styles, because of this, Shang-Chi was able to use his knowledge of M’Nai to defeat him, they fought for quite some time, as they were equals when it came to fighting but Shang-Chi managed to use M’Nai’s misplaced loyalty to Manchu to defeat him.

## Manchu

When M’Nai returned to Manchu, he abused him after his loss to Shang-Chi. This angered M’Nai as he came to realise that Manchu only appreciated his fighting skills and hatred, because of this, Midnight tried to kill him but failed and escaped.

## Mercenary

Midnight Sun then became a mercenary and worked for the highest bidder. Midnight’s first employer was the Mandarin who had him pull off several jobs, many of which had him tangle with Shang-Chi. When pulling off one job, Midnight was caught by Shang-Chi and they fought, Shang managed to overpower Midnight and kicked him off a building, he was presumed dead but returned to the Mandarin to get his next job. Midnight later stopped working for the Mandarin and started working under Shaka Kharn, Kharn was slowly dying as the resurrection ritual that brought him back to life was wearing off, Kharn was trying to make himself immortal once more but knew Shang-Chi would intervene so he hired Midnight to occupy him, the two fought and Shang-Chi was defeated after Midnight broke his arm, Midnight was about to end Shang but Katy intervened and Sun escaped. Midnight then gave up being a mercenary and sought revenge on Chi...

## Revenge on Shang-Chi and “Death”

Midnight now sought revenge on Shang-Chi so he tracked him down and they fought many times. Midnight eventually chased Shang to a forge full of lava, they fought on a bridge there and Midnight was knocked off into the lava, losing his hand in the process. Midnight was presumed dead but managed to escape before falling into the lava by swinging around on a metal pole and throwing his swords in the lava in order to make it sound and look like he had fallen into it. Midnight then went into hiding, planning to kill Shang. He had a prosthetic hand created and he then returned to kill Shang-Chi, he tracked him down and stalked him for a while, studying his movements and he eventually struck, but not at him, at his friend Katy who had attacked him earlier, he threatened to kill her if Shang-Chi didn’t fight him. Shang eventually came and they fought, Midnight stabbed Shang and threw him off the side of a building. Midnight then escaped, thinking Shang dead, he put down the mantle but when he heard about Shang-Chi’s return he took up the mantle once more, tracked him down and they fought again, this battle ended with Shang-Chi killing Midnight by impaling him, he then held a funeral for M’Nai and left his body to rot.

## Resurrection

When the Kree came to earth, they wanted a worthy specimen to be brought back to life and given power. They chose Midnight. They took M’Nai to their ship and brought him back to life, although they also granted him a few enhanced abilities. The Kree hoped to use Midnight to their benefit but when he awoke he broke free of their ship and returned to earth. Midnight, with his new power, now wanted revenge on Chi more than anything, he attacked several famous places in China to draw Chi out, he eventually did and they fought, Midnight easily defeated Chi but he managed to escape with a broken right arm, left leg, right leg and jaw. Chi went to heal and fight Midnight again but could not gain the strength to do so, Midnight believed he had achieved his goal and put down the mantle once more but he was later captured by the Kree again and granted even more powers, as well as a device to control him. Midnight returned to earth and was ordered to take it over, he fought the Avengers and nearly defeated them but was eventually sent back up into space, he later returned to earth, this time with an army of Kree soldiers, he managed to take over several countries including: Japan, France, Russia and Germany but he was eventually defeated by Shang-Chi and the Avengers.

## Breaking Free of Control

M’Nai later managed to break free of the Kree’s control and wanted to take revenge on them, he used his powers to destroy many Kree ships but he was eventually shot by a laser on the Kree’s Mothership which took away his powers. He had some left though and used all of it to destroy the mothership. He then died in space as he was unable to breathe.
