Red Lotus (Paul Hark) is a fictional character, a mutant appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Fictional character biography[edit]
Though he has been affiliated with the X-Men, in particular the X-Treme X-Men team, Red Lotus is not an official member.
Red Lotus/Paul Hark was born in Sydney, Australia, to an American parent, and is the heir apparent to the Sydney Chinese Triad, which was run by his grandfather, who was known as Father Gow. When Gow was murdered, Red Lotus was led to believe that the culprit was Gambit by the Examiner, who wanted to gain control of the Triad for himself.[1]
Red Lotus assisted the X-Treme X-Men team against Sebastian Shaw and Lady Mastermind after the truth was revealed, and later helped them while they were trying to repel an interdimensional invasion in Madripoor.[2]
After the invasion on Madripoor, Paul became an ally to Viper and joined her undercover at the Hellfire Club hoping to shut down their mutant slave ring. He was almost murdered by Selene, but Marvel Girl was able to save him. [3]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Red Lotus is a superhuman martial artist who possesses enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, agility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance.
In other media[edit]
Red Lotus was set to appear in the 2019 feature film Dark Phoenix, played by Andrew Stehlin.[4] In the final film, the character is named Ariki and does not bear any similarities to Red Lotus. Ariki can manipulate his hair braids.[5]
