Petrie is an enemy of Fu Manchu who fought a long war against him alongside Shang-Chi.

Fiction

Action Force (British) Comics continuity

Petrie and Sir Denis Nayland Smith fought for forty years against Fu Manchu but were ageing. Then Fu Manchu ordered his son Shang-Chi, who believed his father was a noble man dedicated to world peace, to kill Petrie. Shang-Chi obeyed the order though he only killed a replicant. This led Shang-Chi to encounter Nayland Smith and learn the truth about his father. Petrie was found alive and together with Shang-Chi, Nayland Smith, Black Jack Tarr an ex soldier and Clive Reston, a smooth talker, the war continued.[1]

Notes

  • Petrie is one of the few characters from the Marvel Universe to have appeared in an Action Force or G.I. Joe story. Normally the two are treated as completely separate continuities.
  • Petrie's appearance in "Meditations in Red" served to introduce Shang-Chi in preparation for a reprint of his adventures from Master of Kung Fu volume 1 #29 to #31 in Action Force issue #18 to issue #29.
  • Petrie was one of a number of characters originally created for the Fu Manchu series of novels by Sax Rohmer. The comic rights to the novels were purchased by Marvel in the 1970s who combined them with their original character of Shang-Chi.
