History
Attributes
Powers
Chi Augmentation: The power of the Iron Fist is granted to a single warrior of the Order of the Crane Mother, and empowers that person allowing them to channel their chi for a variety of effects. The effect is typically accompanied by a brilliant yellow luminescence emanating from the wielder's hands, or in Danny's case his right hand. The empowerment is temporary, effectively draining the wielder's chi until it is spent, and is then inaccessible for a time until the chi is replenished. The Iron Fist is also bound to the mental state of its wielder, and can be rendered inactive as a result of the wielder's emotional state, or inhibited by the effects of pacifying drugs. Danny's incomplete training has resulted in partial mastery of this power, but was eventually completed after his trip to Asia with Ward Meechum.
- Augmented Weaponry: When wielding a weapon with an energized hand, the wielder is also transferring energy to their weapon as a conduit for the Iron Fist's power. In Danny's case, his pistols become the enhanced conduits.
- Chi Healing: Danny can expend his chi via his open hand to 'burn' poison from the body of another living being.
- Chi Sense: By focusing on the living body of another, Danny can feel that person's inherent life force through his hand, as well as sense impurities infecting that body.
- Iron Fist Punch: The Iron Fist can redirect chi into incredible feats of strength, turning human punches into powerful concussive impacts. These are sufficient to blast solid metal doors off their hinges, or to create an explosive shockwave causing significant damage over a wide radius.
- Invulnerability: When powered up, Danny's hand becomes unbreakable in every sense. The resilience afforded by the Iron Fist is enough to cause bullets to ricochet away if they strike his glowing hand.
Abilities
- Peak Human Condition: Every morning at the monastery, Danny would walk a mile uphill with jugs the size of his torso, just to get his and his master's daily ration of water, followed by day-long training.[5]
- Acrobatics: Danny Rand is a highly trained acrobat, accomplished in vaulting and tumbling. He uses various acrobatic techniques to dramatically enhance his combat mobility and avoid things that might harm him.
- Martial Arts: Danny Rand is a master of Kung Fu. His martial arts prowess, combined with the power of the Iron Fist, allows him to overpower most of his enemies effortlessly. Danny has also showed proficiency with weapons, such as swords and nun-chucks.
