Fictional character biography[edit]
Lotus Shinchuko mysteriously appeared just in time to assist the Sons of the Tiger in defeating the Silent Ones, who had killed their sensei. She explained to them that she had been enslaved to the Silent Ones, but broke free of their control to help the Sons. She renounced the Silent Ones and joined with the Sons of the Tiger, settling with them in New York City.[volume & issue needed] Lotus became romantically involved with one of their members, Bob Diamond. While on an evening stroll through Central Park with Bob, Lotus still proved to be under the Silent Ones’ control when she suddenly attacked him. The other Sons intervened, and Lin Sun was able to discover a device attached to her neck controlling her, and removed it.[volume & issue needed]
After a while, Lotus began to draw away from Bob Diamond and became closer to Lin Sun. This angered Bob, and the Sons broke out into a fight. The group broke up, and Bob left the team to become an actor. Lotus remained with Lin Sun and Abe Brown, maintaining the Sons’ martial arts school.[volume & issue needed] During the Secret War, Lotus was seen working with Lin Sun and Abe as bodyguards for Luke Cage after he was injured by Diamondback.[1]
