I'm reading this Angela Del Toro (White Tiger #2) she buys a costume from "Li Ling Potter" an asian lady who gets her material from SHIELD
ANgela wakes up thinking she needs to dry clean it or something and repair holes but she finds that it doesn't stink, doesnt tear (easily), doesnt need to be dry-cleaned
Spider-Man and Black Widow also was at this shop so I presume it is well known by costumed heroes
no there are currently two brothers who are Ghost Riders. My understanding is that one brother Johnny Blaze is possessed by the flaming demon Zarathos and the other Danny Ketch is possessed by a dead ancestor, who resides in hell.
@Night Thrasher: the writers of Iron Fist use generic and mystical sounding names to name their combat techniques
Iron Fist doesn't just use one style anymore as I understand he is a jack of all trades, master of none
here's a sample of the many styles he has integrated into his combat scenes "golden star gouge into Strike of the silkworm's tooth, into burning dove chop, palm of forty sorrows, Tiger scratch (2nd stance), Drunken Wasp sting, Good fortune thunder kick, Brooklyn headbutt" from Immortal Iron Fist #5 page 8
How Brubaker and Fraction describe it: "My name is Daniel Rand...and my arsenal of kung fu is deep. I pray to God...that it will be enough."
all their powers are based on "chi", they all have superhuman striking force " The Iron Fist has six counterparts -- mystically powered warriors, each appointed to defend one of seven otherworldly cities."
here's my best go taken for one of my favorite characters that I feel could have a couple good seasons of backstory and supporting cast.
I took some of this from an Immortal Iron Fist opening and tried to make it into a TV synopsis. But I couldnt help plotting out the seasons Also I put SPOILERS because the details take up a lot of space. ------------ "Iron Fist" Orphaned after the murder of his parents, billionaire Daniel Rand was raised in the mystical city of K'un-L'un and grew to become its champion. After besting the dragon Shou-Lao the Undying in combat, Danny was granted the power of the Dragon's chi, it's life force enhancing his mastery of the martial arts and giving him superhuman levels of sstrength speed and fighting prowess. After avenging the death of his parents, Danny, now a captain of industry, became the IMMORTAL IRON FIST, fighting crime and injustice in all forms. -Danny discovers he isn't the only Immortal Weapon. The Iron Fist has six counterparts -- mystically powered warriorsm each appointed to defend one of seven otherworldly cities. Five of these weapons joined forces with Danny Rand initially to discover the secrets of the Eight City but now staying because of a growing bond between these elite warriors. - (Filled with rage as an angry child, ala Batman, this later helps him defeat a demon that kills Iron Fists)
1st season"Iron Fist" -1st season intro to backstory his parents sacrifice in the icy woods, his servitude under his adoptive uncle but more importantly his true adoption/upbringing under Lei-Kung, (this can establish Davos as a rival early on) and his quest to become Iron Fist - intro characters, Luke Cage, Collen Wing, and Misty Knight, love interests, Davos, Lei-Kung, mystical elements ==================== - 2nd season "Heroes for Hire" billionaire, playboy, Heroes for Hire -after Danny left K'un L'un after to avenge the murder of his parents, he became the costumed hero "Iron Fist" . friendship with Colleen Wing, became lovers with her friend Misty Knight, and formed a partnership with Luke Cage, aka Power Man, calling themselves Heroes For Hire. -Luke Cage origin should probably be a standalone episode They rented themselves out as detectives and bodyguards, although more often than not, they aided people without money being involved.(key plot device?) -Eventually, Daniel took back control of his father's company again, becoming a millionaire in the process, although he let Joy Meachum, daughter of Harold Meachum, run it while he continued the life of a crime fighter. -At one point, the pair traveled to K'un-L'un together, where they battled Master Khan,
Within the shared universe of that company's publications, Master Khan is a sinister sorcerer "god" of K'un-L'un who demands human blood sacrifices from his worshippers. Note: Misty Knight should probably not lose her arm until Rand becomes rich, so he can replace it with a bionic one -Some time later, Iron Fist attempted to aid a child named Bobby Wright, who had the ability to transform into the powerful superhero known as Captain Hero, during his bout with cancer. Bobby was in great pain, and Danny tried to heal him with his chi. This went on for many days, until eventually, Danny collapsed into a deep sleep. Bobby woke up in pain, and, being unable to wake Iron Fist, transformed into his Captain Hero form, and beat Danny to death, before disintegrating in agony. As this had followed a very public argument with Cage (over what?), he was suspected in the death, and becomes a fugitive, hunted as the prime suspect in Rand's death for some time. -Luke Cage goes on the run. ===
Season 3 Resurrection -Later, Daniel Rand reappeared, seemingly in control of Rand-Meachum company, attempting to buy the Savage Land. -This brought him into conflict with Namor, the Sub-Mariner, whose company, Oracle, Inc., had interest in the Savage Land and its resources as well. -Rand attacked Namor as Iron Fist, although it was revealed during the battle that Rand was actually a demon impersonating him in order to utilize Rand-Meachum Inc.'s funds. The demon also revealed that the Iron Fist who had been killed was also a doppleganger and that he himself had been Captain Hero. -Rand had, in fact, been captured during their last battle, in K'un L'un. -Master Kahn is using Rand's chi energy to power an army of H'ylthri, demonic plant beings of super strength -Dr. Strange, Cage, Misty Knight, (Namorita?), Namor, and Colleen Wing track Iron Fist to K'un-L'un. and they battle Master Khan once more, who merged with the remnants of his H'ylthri army but is defeated. -They part with K'un L'un and Danny resumes business practices
season 4 "The Last Iron Fist Story"
Rand was asked by a Chinese company, Wai Go, to produce an electromagnetic train. Danny refused, and the head of the company, Xao, decided to buy Rand International so he could get his train. After investigating Wai Go, Danny discovered they were affiliated with HYDRA.
He then came into contact with a previous wielder of the Iron Fist, Orson Randall, who had been on the run for many years after accidentally killing another Immortal Weapon and fleeing the City of K'un L'un with the Book of the Iron Fist. Orson had spent much of his life being hunted down by people such as the previous Bride of Nine Spiders and John Aman, The Prince of Orphans, both Immortal Weapons from other mystical cities much like K'un L'un. More recently he has been hunted by the honorary avatar of Crane Mother, Davos, the Steel Phoenix.
Randall taught Danny more advanced uses of the Iron Fist, and passed along the Book of the Iron Fist, outlining the history of various previous Iron Fists and many secret techniques. Meanwhile, Xao, the head of Wai Go, kidnaps Jeryn Hogarth's (friend of Danny and who runs Rand Int.) mother, forcing Jeryn to build his electromagnetic trains. -Xao is also revealed to be working with Davos to try and kill Orson. Soon after, Randall was killed in a battle with Steel Serpent, and Danny absorbed Orson's Chi by plunging his hands into his predecessor's heart. -This greatly increased Danny's power and he was able to equal Davos, who having completed his mission, disappeared. -Before he could try to help Jeryn, Danny was summoned to K'un L'un to participate in a Kung Fu tournament.
