Zheng Bao Yu (originally known as Fah Lo Suee), is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is the daughter of Zheng Zu and the older half-sister of Shang-Chi.

The character debuted in Master of Kung Fu #26 (cover-dated March 1975) in the Bronze Age of Comic Books, under the name Fah Lo Suee, based on the Sax Rohmer character of the same name, the daughter of Dr. Fu Manchu, created by writer Sax Rohmer, Fu Manchu and adapted into Marvel Comics by Doug Moench and Keith Pollard.[1] Due to Marvel losing the rights to the Fu Manchu character, her name Fah Lo Suee was changed to Zheng Bao Yu.[2][3][4][5]
