Lin Xiao used Doupao’s missions to build his strength, uncover a Ten Rings plot, and rescue Tony Stark from captivity. Back in New York, he secured a place in S.H.I.E.L.D., grew closer to May, and showed that he had learned to exploit the system for his own purposes.
Lin Xiao helped Tony defeat Obadiah, then awakened Peter’s Stand and drew him into the fight against the Lizard and Kingpin’s agents. The stretch ended with Peter and Lin Xiao battling Typhoid Mary after she targeted Peter for information about Super Earthling.
Lin Xiao protected Betty Ross, confronted Hulk and Pyro, and used the resulting attention to build his heroic image and assemble a superhero team. After Sabretooth set out to confront him, Lin Xiao arranged for Storm and Wolverine to respond and went to watch the encounter.
Lin Xiao helped Carol evacuate Skrulls, defeated Wenwu, and returned to a crowded life that included S.H.I.E.L.D. work and visits to Xavier’s School. He stopped Ivan Vanko and Justin Hammer’s schemes, then left for the airport after disabling Hammer’s Locust suits.
Lin Xiao built Vought’s standing while becoming entangled with Thor’s fate, Sif, and Jane, then faced S.H.I.E.L.D.’s demands and fought Abomination in Brazil. He defeated Abomination and saved Thaddeus Ross, while Banner decided he could no longer keep hiding.
Lin Xiao secured Banner’s safety, awakened the Ten Ring of Protection, and helped S.H.I.E.L.D. uncover Steve Rogers and search for a missing doctor. As Doom’s actions brought danger to Reed and Susan, Lin Xiao suspected that the Reed who returned was no longer himself.
Lin Xiao rescued Dr. Wu, deepened his ties with Natasha, and exposed Doom’s imprisonment and corruption of Susan while preparing allies for an approaching invasion. After recruiting Wanda as his assistant, he watched Loki’s attack in Stuttgart trigger S.H.I.E.L.D.’s emergency response.
