The Best Bits of a Bad SituationImage Courtesy of Marvel ComicsThis storyline took place from Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #12 to #15.
In it, Flash Thompson came to blows with the Legion of Light, a cult run by Brother Power and Sister Light, the latter of whom was Flash’s love, Sha Shan.
To quickly summarize, Sha Shan was not only a byproduct of mysticism stereotypes of Asian people during that time period, but she was basically just a walking plot device.
Man-Beast made it so they could unleash blasts of pure light, but only when in physical contact.
Sha Shan had absolutely no agency, only doing what her father and abusive husband told her.
