Shang-Chi: 10 Things You Need To Know
9. His Only Power Is His Mental And Physical Discipline
So, which martial art is Shang-Chi most adept in? Well, all of them apparently. When you consider that fact, the 'no-superpower' mantra of Shang-Chi suddenly doesn't sound so negative.
The fact that he is at the top level in every fighting style basically makes him the greatest martial artist in the world, and that in itself gives him superhuman qualities, especially when you consider that his strikes are, on occasions, strong enough to break through steel.
But he is also a master of his own body, meaning he can control his pain receptors, reduce the effects of poisons and absorb the kind of hurt that would put most people out of action. His ability to meditate has allowed for an almost psychic level of mindfulness, and like Daredevil, he also has remarkable intuition for this surroundings, picking up sounds, vibrations, and the various bodily nuances of nearby opponents.
All of this gives him a unique edge in combat situations and has rendered him a formidable peer even when compared to the most powerful individuals the Marvel Universe has to offer.
