Origin

Years ago, when a shanty town in Hong Kong was a Taoist monastery, Chin Hsi was bestowed with the spirit of Foe-Dog, The Lion Dog, to be the monastery's protector from demons. However, in the thirties, the monastery disbanded and Foe-Dog was left without a home to protect. It was then, that the spirit of the Lion Dog left Chin Hsi.

For seventy years, the spirit lay dormant until an attack left Iceman in an out of control state. Sealed in a ball, Iceman's powers attacked those who came near. Chin Hsi, still doing all he could for the home his temple had become, approached the ball thought to be a demon. When it struck at Chin, the Lion Dog spirit surfaced. After breaking the ball, Foe-Dog discovered the truth of the ball in the form of an incapacitated and naked Bobby Drake. After a fight left most of the Shantytown destroyed, Foe-Dog joined Iceman to take down the Winterbrand company, more specifically Alan Weiss the owner of said company. Together they stopped Weiss and Chin was left to foresee the rebuilding of the home that his temple had become.

Powers and Abilities

Martial Combat

Foe-Dog has enhanced agility and training in martial arts. He uses these skills to wield a ball and chain that he infuses with a great strength, making it appear as if the ball were on fire.

Shadow Doors

Foe-Dog also has the ability to open "shadow doors" which allow Foe-Dog and anyone he lets accompany him to teleport. However, this ability is limited to places he has "left his mark". The mark appears to be a statuette, judging from one left by Iceman.
