History: (Avengers Annual#12) - Ambassador
Ling met with numerous other National Security Council ambassadors for a
trial of the Fantastic Four concerning the presence of the Inhumans in the
Blue Area of the Moon. As the Avengers were also called in, Ambassador Ling
explained that according to their information, the Inhumans had once lived
in the Himalayas in China. Ling quickly asked Mister Fantastic why his country
was not told of their presence in China and also why the N. S. C. had not
been informed. Reed informed the ambassadors that the Inhumans left due to
Earth's pollution and offered to the N. S. C. that if they would like some
sort of assurance that the Inhumans meant no threat, that the Fantastic Four
would happily travel to the moon for them. Ling angrily announced that the
Fantastic Four had already acted without the N. S. C.'s approval when they
helped the Inhumans get to the moon and that if anyone was to go to the moon,
it would be the Avengers.
