Zhu Khanum (daughter)
History[]
Shiwan Khan was a descendant of Genghis Khan, and one of the oldest foes of The Shadow, with their rivalry lasting for almost two decades.
Early Encounters With The Shadow
Though there is little information regarding their early confrontations, it is known that Shiwan Khan first encountered The Shadow and his associate Cliff Marsland sometime during the Russo-Japanese War[1]. Khan had also trained in the Temple of Cobras with Master Chow Lee in the Himalayas, the same temple The Shadow had previously trained in.
Death
In 1939, Shiwan Khan had formed an alliance with Adolf Hitler, planning a massive attack on the United States using a death ray created by Nikola Tesla. Khan also formed an alliance with the notorious American gangster The Green Hornet (whom Khan believed was a Nazi sympathizer due to the Hornet's partner being Japanese). After acquiring Tesla's death ray and kidnapping Franklin D. Roosevelt, Khan was shot and killed by The Shadow in a secret passage located under New York City's Trinity Church[2]. The Shadow took Khan's body and cremated it in the funerary cask of Genghis Khan[3].
Legacy
Several months after his death, Khan appeared in a dream of Kent Allard after he had been rendered unconscious by a car crash[4].
In the late 1940s, Khan's daughter, Zhu Khanum, followed in her father's footsteps and tried to take over the world[5].
