Background / History

Song Shujun is from Xijiang and trained in swordsmanship on Mount Wudang as a child. He abandoned the practice after classmates mockingly called him “Death-Seizing Scholar,” but he retained a deep attachment to wuxia and martial arts. By the time he met Bai Kunlun, he was a 23-year-old Stanford PhD student in mathematics and computational science, with an intended career in algorithms or big data at Huawei after graduation. He planned to return to China rather than remain in the United States. 82

He encountered Bai Kunlun during a confrontation with local basketball players. Though frightened by the prospect of facing dozens of opponents, Song tried to get Bai to leave, called 911, and ultimately remained beside him out of solidarity with a fellow Chinese person. Witnessing Bai defeat the group with improvised versions of the Heavenly Mountain Six Yang Palm and Heavenly Mountain Plum Blossom Hand reignited Song's martial-arts dream. 81

Song persistently asked Bai to teach him. After demonstrating the sword forms he had learned as a child, he was accepted into the Order Society and travelled with Bai to New York, becoming his assistant. He immediately witnessed the Society's extreme methods when Bai performed an eye transplant on Matt Murdock. 82 83

Appearance

Song was initially a tall, thin young man, described as at least 1.85 meters tall. He wore glasses, had long messy bangs in a Japanese-style haircut, and commonly carried a large backpack. 81

• Gray jacket and sweatpants during his first meeting with Bai Kunlun. 81
• Thick lenses contributed to the childhood nickname “Death-Seizing Scholar.” 82
• After years of Electric Cultivation, he is described as naturally elegant and handsome, with an increasingly enhanced life level. 166

Personality

Song is idealistic, patriotic, and intensely committed once he accepts a cause. He considers martial arts a personal dream rather than a practical career path and is willing to leave a prestigious doctoral program to pursue it. His refusal to change nationality, even when considering staying in America to learn from Bai Kunlun, reflects the importance he places on national identity. 82

Although initially timid in physical danger, Song acts on his principles. He stayed with Bai during the basketball-court confrontation despite visibly fearing the consequences, explaining that compatriots should help one another abroad. 81

As an Order Society leader, Song is diligent to the point of overwork, frequently working late on organizational plans. He is also practical and critical of weak administration, insufficient talent, and members who exploit the Society's authority for personal gain. 89 108

Abilities & Skills

Electric Cultivation

Song practices a cultivation method designed specifically around the electromagnetic force within the human body. 84

• Enhances the body through internal electromagnetic control. 84
• Training is physically painful and uses unusual, demanding postures while Bai Kunlun increases the strain with gravity. 85
• Bai predicted that the method could allow Song to use Palm Thunder within three months. 84
• The technique is tailored to Song and is not considered universally applicable. 119
• After three years of cultivation, his genetic and life level begins surpassing ordinary humans. 166

Power of Space

Bai Kunlun grants Song the Power of Space as a reward for his loyalty and work with the Order Society. 136

• The gift is explicitly said to enhance Song's abilities. 136
• No specific spatial techniques or combat applications are documented. 136

Strategic Planning and Administration

Song is one of the Order Society's principal organizers and policy planners.

• Drafted the Sky Eye Plan, Earth Overturn Plan, and Shadow Plan for the Society's development. 89
• Proposed the Sky Eye Plan: a camera-and-AI surveillance system intended to detect crime across Hell's Kitchen and dispatch personnel rapidly. 90
• Identified the need for the Society to control taxation, water, electricity, gas, and internet access rather than merely hold superficial territorial control. 91
• Organized the submission of Asian gangs and formed a secret disciplinary team from capable recruits. 92
• Established recruitment standards emphasizing youth, intelligence, ideals, experience, adaptability, and mental fortitude. 108 120

AI-Assisted Cognition

Hetu can link with Song's neural network, sharply improving his clarity of thought and computational ability. 109

• Enables mental calculation and rapid judgment beyond Song's normal capacity. 109
• Assists his planning for the Order Society's expansion and virtual-reality recruitment systems. 109
• This enhancement is provided by Hetu rather than being Song's innate ability. 109

Public Representation

Song serves as a public representative for the Order Society in high-level political settings.

• Presented polling claiming 98% support for the Order Society's establishment during a United Nations General Assembly session. 165
• Requested that the Order Society join the United Nations and receive status comparable to national governments in Earth's defense. 165
• Explained the Tesseract activation device to international delegates during the voting phase. 166

Relationships

• Bai Jing / Bai Kunlun — Master and leader of the Order Society. Bai recruits Song as a trusted assistant, teaches him Electric Cultivation, entrusts him with organizational development, and grants him the Power of Space. 82 84 108 136
• Hetu — AI collaborator and advisor. Hetu assists Song with recruitment analysis, planning, sensory manipulation, and neural-network cognitive enhancement. 109 120
• Matt Murdock — Fellow Order Society consultant. Song meets Matt upon arriving in New York and witnesses Bai restore sight to Matt's right eye. 83
• Yang Luo — Potential recruit whose performance in the virtual 1938 test impresses Song, who scores him highly for adaptability and mental resilience. 120

Story Role / Major Arcs

Order Society Development

After joining the Order Society, Song becomes its most active planner. His early proposals establish the foundation for Hell's Kitchen surveillance, infrastructure control, taxation, covert networking, and internal discipline. 89 91 92

Global Expansion and Recruitment

When Bai orders the establishment of approximately 170 global branches within half a year, Song raises concerns about insufficient time and qualified personnel. He helps define a recruitment model centered on capable, young, idealistic, and experienced candidates, then evaluates recruits through virtual battle scenarios. 108 119 120

Hell's Kitchen Administration

Song grows into an independent authority in Hell's Kitchen. He disperses a crowd attempting to seize a diamond-and-gold chessboard, asserts the Order Society's territorial claim, and relies on Hetu and the Golden Sun to maintain order. 109

International Recognition

Song publicly represents the Order Society at the United Nations, arguing for its independence, formal admission, and a recognized role in defending Earth. His assertive approach provokes resistance from American representatives and displeasure from Assembly President Sai. 165

Conflict with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Song becomes frustrated by the Order Society's repeated retreats in conflicts with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, believing Bai's perceived closeness to Natasha may be restraining the organization. Bai later assures him that the Order Society and China take priority, authorizing Song to act decisively against hostile forces. 194

Trivia

• Song was vice president of Stanford University's Science Fiction Association. 89
• He initially believed nearly every extraordinary feat performed by Bai Kunlun could be explained as martial arts. 83 90 91
• Chapter 165 instead describes him as a University of Chicago graduate with a doctorate in law, conflicting with his earlier portrayal as a Stanford mathematics and computational science PhD student. 82 165
