Lin Lie

Lin Lie (Chinese: 林烈) is a superhero who appears in media produced by American comic book publisher Marvel Comics. Created in partnership with the Chinese media company NetEase, the character first appeared in the 2018 Chinese digital manhua Warrior of the Three Sovereigns #1, written by Shuizhu and illustrated by Gunji.

A descendant of the mythological Chinese figure Fu Xi, Lin was initially established with the alias Sword Master, and wielded the mystical Sword of Fu Xi. He later joins the superhero team the Agents of Atlas, making his English-language debut in the 2019 comic War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas #2. After the Sword of Fu Xi is destroyed he becomes the new Iron Fist, debuting as the character in Iron Fist vol. 6 #1 (February 2022).

In 2017, Marvel partnered with the Chinese media company NetEase as part of an initiative to expand its audience in China and East Asia. This partnership resulted in the creation of the superheroes Lin Lie and Aero, both of whom debuted in May 2018 in Chinese-language digital manhua published on 163.com.

Sword Master made his American comics debut in War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas by writer Greg Pak and artist Gang Hyuk Lim before starring in his own solo series, titled Sword Master, written by Pak and illustrated by Ario Anindito. The Sword Master series also featured republications of the Warriors of Three Sovereigns series Lin debuted in, with translations done by Pak. Sword Master would continue to have regular appearances in Agents of Atlas.

In 2022, Lin Lie made his debut as Iron Fist in a five issue miniseries written by Alyssa Wong and illustrated by Michael YG and Sean Chen; his Iron Fist costume was designed by Jim Cheung. The miniseries was followed up with the one-shot A.X.E.: Iron Fist #1 as part of the A.X.E.: Judgment Day crossover event.

In May 2023, to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Lin starred in a backup story in Daredevil Vol. 7 #11, written by Jason Loo and drawn by Lynne Yoshii, with an AAPI Heritage Month Variant Cover featuring Iron Fist drawn by artist InHyuk Lee.

In August 2024, Lin was featured in a one-shot commemorating the 50th anniversary of Iron Fist, with Wong returning as writer and Von Randal illustrating.

In November 2025, it was announced that Lin would star in Deadly Hands of K'un-Lun, a five issue limited series written by Yifan Jiang and illustrated by Paco Medina, which is set for a February 2026 release.
