Li was a minor character from the seventh season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. He was an Inhuman and a resident of Afterlife, serving as Jiaying's second-in-command. He possessed the ability to materialize knives in his hands which he was well-skilled at using in combat.
While Li believed in Jiaying's mission of protecting Inhumans, he was especially aggressive when it came to protecting Afterlife from threats both external and internal. After Jiaying's daughter Kora went through Terrigenesis and gained the ability to manipulate and project energy, Li felt that Kora needed to be killed for Afterlife's safety as she wasn't able to control her powers. Since Jiaying refused to resort to such measures, it fell upon Li to act as Kora's tutor and warden; he continued trying to train Kora in the proper use of her powers, but she continually failed and resisted Li's disciplinary methods.
In late 1983, Afterlife was invaded by Nathaniel Malick, who wanted to give his anarchist followers Inhuman powers. During this time, Melinda May and Yo-Yo Rodriguez were visiting Afterlife so that Yo-Yo could reclaim her lost powers through meditative treatment. Malick's attack came at the time when Kora attempted suicide in order to escape imprisonment, but Malick would convince her not to go through with it and to join his group, encouraging her to use her powers without restraint. Convinced that he should have killed Kora years ago, Li attacked her, but she fought back and projected an energy blast at him, leaving his face severely burned. Li was then taken prisoner by Malick's men while Jiaying, Gordon, May and Yo-Yo escaped.
Death[]
In the episode "Stolen", Malick and his mercenaries managed to capture Phil Coulson and Gordon when they attempted to infiltrate Afterlife. Malick took the two to a room where they witnessed Li being subjected to a painful experiment designed to transfer his Inhuman power to one of Malick's men, Durant. Once the procedure was finished, Malick allowed Kora to put Li out of his misery, a task Kora relished as Li had made her suffer so much in the past. Placing her hands on either side of Li's head, Kora generated an aura of energy between her hands that incinerated him. As he screamed in agony, Li attempted to produce a knife in his hand to fight back, but could not do so due to the trauma of the experiment and the incredible pain he was then suffering. Li finally died after his head had been charred by Kora's power.
