Fat Cobra
Fat Cobra is a comic book character that first appeared in The Immortal Iron Fist #8
Fat Cobra is the Immortal Weapon of Peng Lai Island one of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven. His size and strength are only outclassed by his speed.
The man who would become Fat Cobra was born on Peng Lai Island and had a very hard life despite being born in one of the seven capital cities of Heaven. His mother died during childbirth and his father, a pig farmer, couldn't possibly take care of such an immense baby, he needed eight women to nurse him every day. When he was only three months old he was left at the orphanage and his father disappeared but the orphanage also had trouble meeting the child's needs. When he was 2 years old it was decided that the child would be banished from Peng Lai Island and he was placed in a basket and set adrift from the Island.As a boy he was teken in by a Peking Opera school where he received training in singing, dance, acrobatics and his first exposure to martial arts. As the most promising young opera singer in all of China he saw the world, slept with many beautiful women, drank beer halls dry and in 1924 first killed a man during a drunken argument. His career as an opera singer was finished but his hunger for violence had just begun. Under different assumed names he fought for both sides in during the Chinese Civil War with a natural skill in ractics and warfare both sides wishing to make him a general. Instead he bought his way back into Peng Lai and Iron-Crutch Khan's school of Kung Fu.
Iron-Crutch Khan was harder on him than the other students and refused to believe that the so called 'Fat Cobra' could possibly beat the serpent Xiang Yao and become the Cobra warrior. He did face the serpent but lost terribly washing up on the Chinese mainland beaten to a pulp, partially eaten, barely alive and exiled from Peng Lai Island again. In the 1930's Fat Cobra became the sidekick of reknowned monster hunter Ulysses Bloodstone and then worked with Union Jack to battle Nazi's. Though he was invited to join the Kid Commandos alongside Bucky and Toro he chose to sit out the rest of the war. Finding his way to Hollywood he appeared in several films, played defensive end for the Giants before joining an underground fighting circuit.
After this his life became even weirder, he beat Volstagg and Hercules in an eating contest in Olympus, introduced Elvis to Kung Fu and fighting alongside Nick Fury against Russian werewolves on the moon. After all this combat experience he attempted to defeat Xiang Yao again but was ripped in half by the serpent and slowly recovered in a SHIELD medical facility where his legs and vertebrae slowly regenerated. Over the years the children he had produced from his numerous sexual conquests began searching him out to kill him for abandoning their mothers but he managed to kill them all. Every single child who came for him whether alone of in groups he defeated and in killing them became warrior enough to defeat Xiang Yao and become the Immortal Weapon of Peng Lai.
Most of these events are burried deep in his mind with little or no recollection of them, partially because of guilt, partially his many years fighting and partially because of the vast amounts of intoxicants he's consumed.
