Introduction
Lei Wulong (雷武龍 Léi Wǔlóng) was introduced in Tekken 2, and he has returned for all subsequent games. Lei is very laid back with a casual attitude. He is one of the comedy relief of the Tekken cast and is constantly cracking jokes. Although comedic, Lei is very dedicated to what operations are at hand. This has earned him his nickname "Super Cop" due to his ability to catch criminals. Though he is a skilled fighter on his own, Lei has shown to be an accurate shooter with small arms as shown in his Tekken 2 and 4 endings and Bryan's Tekken Tag ending. It is revealed in his win quote against Bryan in Street Fighter X Tekken along with Bryan's interlude with him that he's no longer close with Bryan and rather is enraged at him because of his cybernetic enhancements and his "use" of it. A man who lives for his job, dedicated to the point of obsession, Lei is a law abiding and gifted cop. He is fair-minded and affable to those around him (unless they break the law.) In his Tekken 5 interludes, he is shown treating his friends such as Wang Jinrei and Steve Fox with compassion and respect. Although his attempts can sometimes be clumsy, Lei's intentions are always virtuous in nature. He is also extremely well known in the game's story of the as Heihachi was actually the one that invited him into the third tournament while Feng has heard a high amount of praise regarding Lei's technique. He's also has a strong intuition as unlike most characters that individually target either Jin or Kazuya in Tekken 6, he is a rare example that attempts to arrest and take down both at the same time. The few characters that share Lei's belief are Zafina, Julia and Lars. He was also suspicious of Heihachi's intentions when he was invited to the third tournament.
His title in the original trilogy is Super Police.

Story
- Prologue
- Supercop never rests... Bruce Irvin almost pushed Lei to the brink of defeat in Tekken 2, but Lei managed to come away victorious. Bruce's flight home was then reported crashed, killing all passengers aboard. It was rumored that Kazuya's corps were involved as a means of silencing Bruce. Lei's investigation and intuition led him to believe the accident was staged, and he doubts that Bruce is really dead. After the last tournament, Lei returned to his job as an investigator of international crime. Though 19 years have passed, nobody believes he is 45. Known as Supercop, he's feared internationally by even the most powerful of crime organizations. Falling within his jurisdiction are the strange disappearances of prominent martial artists. During these investigations, Lei was visited by the head man of the MFE, Heihachi Mishima. He asked Lei to join the "King of Iron Fist Tournament 3." Why Heihachi would seek him out for a mere tournament was beyond Lei. A believer in fate, Lei feels there's a reason for this meeting.

Story
- Prologue (In-Game Text)
- Lei's life was consumed as usual by police work. Unfortunately for Lei, his live-in girlfriend got fed up with Lei's workaholic lifestyle and dumped him in favor of Lei's assistant. Ironically, the assistant acted as a liaison for Lei whenever she wanted to get in touch with him at work. When Lei found out about this, he became extremely depressed. Around the same time, Lei botched an operation to bring a crime syndicate to justice. Lei failed to capture an agent of the syndicate, who would have enabled the police to take down the syndicate's boss. The failure cost the police force two years worth of intense undercover investigations. Rival detectives who were jealous of Lei's stellar case record saw this as an opportunity to damage Lei's career. Unbeknown to Lei, the rivals reported to Lei's superiors that he botched the operation by "allowing personal affairs to affect his job performance." As a result of this betrayal, Lei wound up on a one-month suspension from active duty. During his suspension, Lei learned from an informant that the syndicate was plotting to assassinate a boxer participating in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. The syndicate apparently hired an assassin for the hit. Lei thought that he could gain valuable information from the boxer about the syndicate. If all went as planned, he could also capture the assassin and establish a plausible connection between the assassin and the syndicate. Lei reasoned that this would aid efforts to bring the syndicate down. Lei entered the Tournament with the hope of redeeming his honor.
- Epilogue (In-Game Text)
- After winning the Tournament, Lei headed to the Mishima Zaibatsu data-center to dig up information on the Syndicate's hired assassin.
- Ending, "Fin Lei" (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Lei is in the Mishima Zaibatsu Computer Room looking at information on the hired assassin (Nina Williams), where he finds that she is currently in Hotel Leanne. About a day or so later, Lei is at the hotel ready to stop Nina from carrying out the Syndicate's plans. He busts open the door yelling, "Freeze!" Nina fires a couple of shots which are dodged by Lei. Lei goes back into the room and sees that Nina has escaped. Thinking fast, Lei slides down a drainage pipe and runs across the street. When he reaches, he notices that Nina and Steve are staring at each other. Lei then yells "Freeze" again and Steve helps Nina escape, tackling Lei. Lei fires two shots and one hits Nina in the leg. Steve punches Lei, knocking him out. The picture of a knocked out Lei is shown next to head lines proclaiming Lei's new found glory. Lei smiles at the camera and the scene ends.

Story
- Prologue (In-Game Text)
- Super detective Lei Wulong. Lei once again made headlines after arresting several members of the Syndicate at the close of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Lei soon became interested in a string of attacks on martial arts training halls throughout China and started an investigation into the matter. Among the victims were several renowned Kung Fu masters that Lei knew personally. Lei poured all of his effort into the investigation but the attacks stopped abruptly and the trail went cold. One day, Lei received a report that several similar attacks had occurred on dojos in Japan. It was then that Lei began to suspect the events were linked and that the perpetrator would surely be at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
- Interludes (Unofficial Synopsis)
- Stage 4, Wang Jinrei: Lei and Wang are facing each other, and the two bow and prepare for battle. Lei then apologizes to Wang for beating him. Wang then says that the apology will be his. When Lei wins, Wang then tells him about the true nature of the Tournament.
- Stage 7, Feng Wei: Lei runs into Feng Wei, and places him under arrest for beating up dojo masters in China and Japan. The two fight. After his victory, Lei then questions Feng, asking him why he's here. Feng then tells him about the stolen scroll that he is after. Lei then decides that Jinpachi holds all the answers to his questions.
- Final Stage, Jinpachi Mishima: Lei meets Jinpachi and places him under arrest for the stolen scroll. He then asks why Jinpachi sent Wang a letter, but Jinpachi tells him that all the answers will come after beating him. When Lei defeats Jinpachi, he is told that 40 years ago, Heihachi imprisoned him under Hon-Maru until he eventually died. A certain "thing" brought Jinpachi back to life; however, it forced him try to destroy the world, and Jinpachi has no choice but to listen to it. With his last act of human consciousness, Jinpachi wrote to Wang. After finally dying, the stolen scroll was returned. Lei picks up and walks away, stopping for a moment and then continuing.

- Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
- At a Chinese market street, Lei Wulong was just ordering for noodles. But the meal was soon interrupted when an unnamed thief was seen fleeing through the scene. Instinctively, Lei kicks out the stool, of which he was sitting on, tripping the would-be thief. Again, the thief flees and Lei kicks the stool a second time, saying "The bag...Leave it here!". The stool hits the thief on his back, boomeranging him, causing him to fall and immediate arrest. After Lei reports that he "has a purse-snatcher in custody" (whilst still holding his plate of noodles), he tries to sit down and eat (unaware of what he did with the stool), only to fall...with the plate and noodles within to fall on top of his face (since the last thing that could be heard was Lei yelling in pain).
