History:
(MOKF#29): To try and stop the heroin Carlton Velcro, Sir Denis
sends Clive Reston under the cover of being a heroin buyer named
Mr. Blue, and sends Black Jack Tarr and Shang-Chi off the
Velcro’s estate at the gulf of Lions in southern France. At
Velcro’s estate, Clive Reston, disguised as Mr. Blue, is met
by Velcro. Velcro introduces Mr. Blue to one of his employers
Razor-Fist--just to show Mr. Blue that although he wants to deal
with him, Velcro will take his precautions. Later when Velcro
learns that the man he knows as Mr. Blue has escaped the room he
was sent to, he sends off his men to get him. They succeed and
bring him to Velcro, who demands to know Mr. Blue’s real
name and his employer.
(MOKF#30): While talking to Mr. Blue--angered
at the man who claimed to be chief narcotic buyer for Great
Britain, and then discovers that not only has he destroyed the
heroin he bought so far, but also a large amount of Velcro’s
own merchandise--the conversation is suddenly stopped when Black
Jack Tarr drops through the window. Velcro orders his men to stop
the two intruders. After Velcro’s men have captured the two
intruders, Velcro himself demands to know if any other has
infiltrated his complex. He gives his two intruders a choice, if
they answer his two questions satisfactorily he will have them
shot, if not then he will send them to his panthers. 
Suddenly
Shang-Chi arrives saying that if Velcro doesn’t stop he will
drop the stuff he has in his hands: Velcro decides to hold off
the execution of the two intruders. The three escape out of the
door, but Velcro uses his equipment to make the floor disappear
underneath the three intruders, throwing them down to the
panthers. After escaping the panthers, the three people discover
that Velcro’s heroin is just a front for his nuclear power
(MOKF#31): Velcro, becoming more and more annoyed with the three intruders, decides to send one of his special agents against them, his panther trainer Pavane. Later, after Pavane is defeated, Razor-Fist is about to attack Shang-Chi, but then Velcro orders one of his men to gun down Shang-Chi, and Razor-Fist is killed instead. Velcro tries to escape but his nuclear submarine is shot upon by his own men who have no idea that Velcro is inside, in the end the sub-marine crashes into Velcro’s fortress, destroying the fortress and seemingly killing Velcro at the same time.
(MOKF#34-bts): Watched on film by Mordillo, when he was seemingly killed.
(MOKF#35-bts): Mordillo yells at Shang-Chi that he has costed him a million dollars by murdering Velcro, whom he had been hired to assassinate.
(MOKF#105): Velcro is discovered to have survived the explosion of his fortress, and was rebuilt as a cyborg. He is also revealed to have trained two new Razor-Fists as replacement for the original. Learning that Pavane had been betraying him to Mordillo all along, Velcro sends Razor-Fist (II) to kill Pavane. Velcro then makes plans with Razor-Fist (III) to take vengeance on Shang-Chi and the rest of MI-6.
(MOKF#106): After Razor-Fist (II) was defeated
by Pavane, with help from Shang-Chi and Leiko Wu, Velcro expects
Pavane or Shang-Chi and Leiko Wu to come to his base to fight
him. When Leiko and Shang-Chi arrive, he sends his other
Razor-Fist (III) up against his enemy. Razor-Fist, who believes
Shang-Chi is responsible for the death of the original Razor-Fist
as well as his brother, lashed out at his enemy, but Shang-Chi
reveals that Velcro was then one who caused that death.
Razor-Fist asks Velcro if that is true. Velcro, mad at Razor-Fist
for stopping the fight with Shang-Chi, grabs his gun and tries to
shoot Shang-Chi. Instead, he accidently hits Razor-Fist, killing
his second Razor-Fist. Velcro once more tries to shoot Shang-Chi,
but fails because of Shang-Chi’s armor (worn
specifically to even the odds against Velcro's guns).
Shang-Chi disarms Velcro and then takes off his armor to fight
the villain. Shang-Chi manages to break Velcro’s metal arm
before hitting him in the head, knocking the villain unconscious.
Later Velcro is picked up by the authorities

Clarifications:
Black Jack Tarr is not to be confused with:
Blackjack @Marvel: The Lost Generation#9
Velcro’s personal bodyguards
Velcro’s personal bodyguards, who are excellent hand-to-hand fighters, but no match against Shang-Chi, who throws them down to Velcro’s panthers
