Background
Su Zheng transmigrated into New York City and immediately became the host of the Divine Choice System. After learning that Tony Stark had been kidnapped, he selected a reward granting Magnetic Field Control, then traveled more than 6,000 km over three days to reach the Ten Rings' Sahara base. 1
At the base, Su Zheng slaughtered the Ten Rings soldiers by stopping and returning their bullets. He located Tony and Ethan, demonstrated his magnetic powers by transferring Tony's improvised Iron Suit onto himself, and later removed the shrapnel lodged near Tony's heart. 2 3 4
Appearance
Su Zheng is a 1.83 m tall young man with refined, sharply defined features, straight brows, and a notably approachable expression. His physique becomes visibly more muscular after receiving Captain America's physical abilities. 3 7 9
- Often described as exceptionally handsome, with bright eyes and a sculpted jawline. 3 15
- Wore a white shirt and light-colored jeans during the Ten Rings rescue, remaining conspicuously clean amid the battlefield. 3
- Developed defined muscles and eight abdominal muscles after his physical enhancement. 9
- Projects a calm, imposing presence while using his powers, particularly when surrounded by floating metal. 7 15
Personality
Su Zheng is confident to the point of arrogance, frequently treating superior opponents as inconveniences rather than threats. He taunts Magneto, watches Tony endure Hulk's attacks before intervening, and turns combat victories into theatrical displays such as the Wishful Golden Cudgel. 14 16 30 34
Despite his irreverence, he is protective of people he recognizes as allies. He rescues Tony repeatedly, refuses General Ross's demand to surrender Banner, and helps the X-Men resist Magneto. 4 18 32 His protection is pragmatic rather than purely altruistic: he wants to grow strong enough through the story's events to face Thanos in the future. 24
He can also be ruthless. Su Zheng killed Ten Rings soldiers, Toad, Ivan Vanko, and used Abomination and Hulk as targets for increasingly destructive tests of his electromagnetic attacks. 2 22 23 31 42

Story Role / Major Arcs
Ten Rings Rescue and Iron Man's Rise
Su Zheng's arrival changes Tony Stark's escape from the Ten Rings. He eliminates the base's soldiers, saves Tony and Ethan, removes Tony's shrapnel, and establishes a lasting relationship with Tony after repeatedly protecting him from Stane. 2 4 6 8

He defeats Hulk through airborne restraint, constructs the Wishful Golden Cudgel, protects Banner from military custody, and later develops electromagnetic attacks capable of injuring Hulk and incapacitating Abomination. 14 16 18 21 23
Mutant Conflict and the Illuminati
After joining the X-Men's conflict with Magneto, Su Zheng recruits Mystique, challenges Magneto's authority, summons Hulk as support, and helps save Professor X's school. He then agrees to stop Magneto's summit plan in exchange for official recognition of the Illuminati. 28 31 32
Su Zheng ultimately neutralizes Magneto's powers, captures him, and leaves him with Professor X. This victory establishes him as a major force in mutant affairs despite his stated indifference to mutant politics. 34 35
Stark, Whiplash, and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Su Zheng protects Tony from Ivan Vanko at the racing event, forces Tony into the agreement to build 100 Iron Suits, helps solve Tony's palladium poisoning by suggesting a new element, and later destroys Ivan's final armor. 38 39 42
He also openly challenges S.H.I.E.L.D.'s authority, defeats Natasha and Hawkeye in combat, and takes control of Tony's computer infrastructure to install the Red Queen. 43 47
