Fu Manchu

Dr. Fu Manchu is a fictional character introduced in a series of novels by British author Sax Rohmer during the first half of the twentieth century. The character was also featured extensively in cinema, television, radio, comic strips, and comic books for over 90 years, and has become an archetype of the evil criminal genius while lending the name to the Fu Manchu moustache.

Characters

Fu Manchu

"Imagine a person, tall, lean and feline, high-shouldered, with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan, ... one giant intellect, with all the resources of science past and present ... Imagine that awful being, and you have a mental picture of Dr. Fu-Manchu, the yellow peril incarnate in one man."
- The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu

Supervillain Fu Manchu's murderous plots are marked by the extensive use of arcane methods; he disdains guns or explosives, preferring dacoits, thuggees, and members of other secret societies as his agents armed with knives, or using "pythons and cobras ... fungi and my tiny allies, the bacilli ... my black spiders" and other peculiar animals or natural chemical weapons.

    Fu Manchu (band)

    Fu Manchu is an American, Southern California-based stoner rock band that formed in 1985.

    History

    Fu Manchu originally formed in 1985 as a hardcore punk band called Virulence. The line up was vocalist Ken Pucci, guitarist Scott Hill, bassist Mark Abshire, and drummer Ruben Romano. In 1987 Abshire left the band and was replaced by Greg McCaughey. They recorded their debut LP If This Isn't a Dream... in 1988, which was released on Alchemy Records (1989). In 1990, Pucci left the band and was replaced by vocalist Glenn Chivens, and they changed their name to Fu Manchu. Soon after they released the "Kept Between Trees" 7 inch single on Slap A Ham Records. McCaughey was replaced by Mark Abshire. Chivens also left the band around this time for unknown reasons. Rather than search for a new vocalist, Scott Hill added lead vocalist to his guitar duties. To compensate, Scott Votaw was recruited as lead guitarist. In 1992, Fu Manchu released three 7 inch singles: "Senioritis," "Pick Up Summer," and "Don't Bother Knockin' (If This Vans Rockin')". In 1993, Votaw left the band and was replaced by lead guitarist Eddie Glass, who had previously played drums in the band Olivelawn.

    Fu Manchu (comics)

    Fu Manchu is the name of a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is based on the character of the same name and is the father of Shang-Chi.

    Publication history

    Fu Manchu first appeared in Special Marvel Edition #15 (December 1973). He was created by Sax Rohmer and adapted into Marvel Comics by Steve Englehart, Al Milgrom, and Jim Starlin. As the result of Marvel Comics later losing the rights to the Fu Manchu name, his later appearances give him the real name of Zheng Zu.

    Fictional character biography

    Zheng Zu gained his education at the Tibetan monastery of Rach where he learned martial arts, arcane knowledge, and every known discipline of science. Becoming highly regarded in his monastery, Zheng Zu was considered part of their brotherhood until the day he left to share his gifts with the world as Fu Manchu.

    When his daughter Fah Loo Suee was a child, Fu Manchu showed her the Moon where he told her that he would one day move the world so that he would rule another world.

    Fu Manchu

    by: Black Frank

    If I could tear down these walls that keep you and I apart
    I know I could claim your heart and our perfect love will start
    But girl you just won't approve of the things that I do
    When all I do is for you but still you say it ain't cool
    If there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
    And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
    And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
    And he's talking you all across the world, he can't trick you like me
    [CHORUS]
    So why ain't you feelin' me, she's invincible
    But I can do anything, she's invincible
    Even when I beg and plead, she's invincible
    Girl won't give in to me, she's invincible
    Now many times I've told you of all the things I would do
    But I cant seem to get through no matter how I try to
    So tell me how does it seem that you ain't checking for me
    When I know that I could be more than you could ever dream
    If there's somebody else, he can't love you like me
    And he says he'll treat you well, he can't treat you like me
    And he's buying diamonds and pearls, he can't do it like me
    And he's talking you all across the world, he can't trick you like me
    [CHORUS]
    Now some way I'll have to prove all that I said I would do
    Giving you everything, fulfilling your fantasy
    Then maybe you'll change your mind and finally give in time
    Then I'll be showing you what other men are supposed to do for you my baby
    [RAP]
    [CHORUS x 3]
