Yes, Cheng and Axel have similar troubled pasts but they both deal with them in different ways. They both inadvertently killed a person. Cheng killed his childhood bully by beating him with his martial arts skills and Axel killed his grandfather by giving him a heart attack while attacking him. Because of his troubled youth, Cheng may have lost his sanity but Axel still retains his. Cheng serves as a dark parallel to the type of person Axel could become if he let his past get him too much.

Cheng never lived in China though. His parents moved to America and started their family there. He talks with American accent. Early on, I did almost depict him with a Chinese accent but then decided he should have American accent. As for while Cheng poses as a legitimate businessman, he wears a business suit but his usual attire is of course his warm up suit. I've decided not to make him wear a ponytail at all. I just can't imagine him with it.
