The Danny presented inIron Fistis trouble and confused , his judgement clouded by his past and present pulling him in dissimilar instruction . Judging by the dawdler forThe Defenders , however , Danny is only getting started , with a huge numeral of the coolest - looking moment belonging to Iron Fist as he settles into his role .

Here are15 Times Iron Fist Actually Did Something Awesome .
Blocked a bullet with his fist
When your name is Iron Fist , that carries with it sealed expectations - specifically that your clenched fist will at some point turn into Fe . While that is not literally unfeigned for Danny , he is able-bodied to focus his chi into his fist in such a way that it may as well be iron , striking enemy and objects with incredible violence , and provide his clenched fist with a particular hardness and durability .
What would be the point of a clenched fist like branding iron if you did n’t expend it to stop some bullets ? Danny does this a couple of times in the serial , because well … if you could forget bulletswith your clenched fist , why would n’t you do that all the time ?
Just like you would never get bored of doing it , it never get boring watching Danny leap bullets off of his spare bridge player .
Dated Misty Knight
Misty Knight is mostly know to fans of the Netflix shows as the no - hokum pig that team up up with Luke Cage in Netflix’sLuke Cageseries , but in the comics her history with both Danny and Luke goes way back . She and Danny have been in earnest involve on more than one occasion , even living together and at one point in time conceiving a child .
While it ’s hard to conceive of the Netflix versions of Danny and Misty polish off it off , especially considering that Danny seems pretty taken with with Colleen Wing , it may not be so far bring after all . At Comic - Con this year , it wasannouncedthat Misty Knight would be connect the plaster bandage ofIron Fistfull - clock time for time of year 2 .
Triple-kicked a guy
A lot of attention is paid to Iron Fist ’s , um , clenched fist , which make sense given his name . However , as a skipper of the martial arts , the guy can also throw kicks with the best of them . He shows off his fancy footwork on a bit of social function , but the coolest second may be from the first installment , when he triple - recoil a guy off of a rampart , in both the chest and the facial expression .
It has yet to be seen if Danny can conduct his chi into other part of his body besides his fist , but hopefully if he ever lose his hands in some kind of dreaded accident , he can interchange his name to Iron Foot , and just go around kicking fools instead of plug them .
Apologized for his company’s negligence
After fall to Rand Industries , Danny ’s point in time - of - horizon and school of thought like a shot come into conflict with the edit - throat corporate aura fostered by his childhood ally , Ward and Joy .
When a woman approaches Danny with the suggestion that a Rand chemical industrial plant has been poisoning the citizen of her town , his immediate impulse is to apologize , which send Ward and Joy into a tailspin , because it implies guiltiness on the party ’s part .
It pronounce a flock about who Danny is as a person that this form of embodied concern does n’t even fall out to him . He examine a woman in pain and blaming his company , and his first momentum is to do the decent thing and apologize . While it put the society in hot body of water , Danny does n’t care .
Often throughout the series he act in foolhardy and impulsive ways , but on this occasion his impulse also happens to be the right thing to do .
Fought against (and alongside) the other Immortal Weapons
The Iron Fist ’s role is to protect the mystical urban center of K’un - Lun as their Immortal Weapon , but in Matt Fraction and Ed Brubaker ’s run onThe Immortal Iron Fist , Danny chance on that there are six other ancient cities as well , and each of them has their own Immortal Weapon , with public figure like Dog Brother # 1 , Fat Cobra , Prince of Orphans , and Tiger ’s Beautiful Daughter .
One of the immortal weapons , Bride of Nine spider , in reality seem in the television show , but she was n’t well-nigh as cool as her comical book counter - part .
After initially battle in a tournament to check which of the cities can unfold a portal to Earth , Danny and the base weapon finally expose a conspiracy and team up so as to protect the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven .
Healed Colleen with magic chi powers
While Danny has all-embracing martial graphics training , it becomes clear over the course of the show that his preparation as the Iron Fist has been woefully uncomplete . When Colleen Wing is succumbing to poison , her wise man Bakuto has to be the one to show Danny that his ch’i is capable not only of hardening his fist into a deadly arm , but also of healing the great unwashed .
This seems like something that would be pretty crucial to know about your own major power , and even though he was incognizant at first , Danny seems to be slowly gaining a better and estimable intellect of how to harness and contain his qi for various effects .
give your fist all firmly and glowy is coolheaded , but it has considerably less practical applications that being capable to heal multitude with your hands .
Beat Madame Gao’s super-cool drunken boxing guard
Much has been made of the fact that Lewis Tan , who play Madame Gao ’s intoxicated bodyguard in one installment , wasnearly castas Danny Rand , but if that had find we would n’t have gotten to witness his delicious twist as this bibulous fisticuffs expert .
Danny spell Zhou Cheng off as a useless drunk at first , but it quickly becomes apparent that this bodyguard is the most dangerous enemy Danny has faced to this point .
Lewis Tan ’s warriorlike arts skills are on full display during this fight , with an casual athleticism that seems to stamp Danny at first . However , he is eventually capable to overcome his sottish adversary by channel his emotions , and almost beats him to death .
A nice affair to do ? Definitely not , but Danny still manages to come out on top .
Put his foot down about shady business dealings
Danny ’s conflicts with his business enterprise partners Joy and Ward do n’t begin and terminate with his apologia to the citizenry suing their society . After finding his way back into the company , Danny assure to take things slow , and not at once push forward in , wave his 51 % stake in the company around , but it ’s a promise that he almost immediately breaks .
When Danny finds out that the company is hiking up the Mary Leontyne Price of a valuable medication to make a profit , he insists that they instead sell it at monetary value , because it ’s the correct thing to do . Again , this make conflict within the company , but does wonders for Danny ’s public figure of speech , casting him as a CEO with a scruples .
Despite his deficiency of agreement of the business world , Danny will always take step to do what he sees as the right thing .
Pretended to be Daredevil
Daredevil’ssecret identity element is one of the worst kept closed book in funny Good Book , and every prison term that Matt Murdoch manages to regain a agency to convince the world that he ’s not temerarious , it seems like somebody manages to shed the beans again .
A few years back , around the metre of Marvel’sCivil Warevent , Matt was so desperate to convince people that he was n’t temerarious that Danny Rand actually strap on the horn for a time .
While his power - exercise set is undeniably different from that of the Man Without Fear , if his fist is n’t glow , it ’s pretty unsufferable for villains to tell the difference .
That said , the image of Daredevil with a shine fist is passably dang coolheaded , so you ca n’t blame him for busting it out now and again .
Figured out how to order take-out
betimes on inIron Fist , Danny order take - out for him and Colleen , but his melodic theme of take - out turn out to be the plentiful , out - of - touch person ’s estimation of take - out ; as manpower in suits bring in a mesa , candles , and an dainty multi - course meal . As if that would n’t have been ungainly enough , Claire Temple adjudicate to hang up around as a third rack , creating an altogether delightfully uncomfortable evening .
However , by the end of the serial , Danny manages to get more in speck with the world he ’d been asunder from since he was a child , and just orders some damn pizza for him and his brand - slinging lady - friend .
When you grew up in a remote monastery , mastering the intricacies of the normal world , such as take - out , is almost as major of a feat as take on down The Hand .
