History:
(Black Widow V#2 (fb) - BTS) - Black Widow killed a known murderer
named the Iron Scorpion. After the man's death, his brother, a trained
marksman and a master of disguise, took up the mantle of the Iron
Scorpion and he made long-term plans for revenge against Black Widow.
Years later, he put his plan in motion, getting involved with a group
of smugglers, one of whom was the son of Mr. Lin, a known associate of
the Black Widow.
(Black Widow V#2) - Black Widow arrived in Shanghai and met with Mr. Lin, who directed her toward a boat full of smugglers where he believed his son was being held against his will; Iron Scorpion was in the room, disguised as an employee of Lin's. Black Widow arrived on the boat and found it full of corpses, then Iron Scorpion detonated the boat from far away, and the Black Widow jumped clear just in time.
(Black Widow V#2 - BTS) - Iron Scorpion killed Lin and his bodyguards, then waited.
(Black Widow V#2) - Black Widow found Lin's body alongside the corpses of his guards, and Iron Scorpion attacked her, forcing her through a window and into the street below. Iron Scorpion pursued her, holding a sword and a gun at her, but when police intervened, he turned to fire on them and Black Widow escaped. Pursuing her into the streets, Iron Scorpion sparred with her again, but she tossed him aside and he was hit by a van. Iron Scorpion escaped and Black Widow knew he would come after her again one day.
