Background

Sha Shan first appears in Amazing #108, where she saves Flash Thompson from execution for a number of rather complicated reasons. See the Vengeance From Vietnam review for more details.

She soon returns to Vietnam with her father, to establish a new temple. At that time, she becomes entangled with Achmed Korba, at the bequest of her father, to become a balance to his evil nature. Sha returns to America with Achmed, while her father is killed in one of the last bombing raids of the war

An unwilling Sha (as Sister Sun) and a far more enthusiastic Achmed (Brother Power) battle Spider-Man and friends in early issues of Spectacular Spider-Man. Achmed is killed in an explosion at the climax of the battle, leaving Sha free to be re-united with Flash. They were seen together a couple of times, until history caught up with them, and Sha was cast into Marvel Oblivion, where she currently resides.
