So I've been reading the Iron Fist: The Living Weapon run to prepare for the Iron Fist show, and I can't help but notice a few similarities between the comics and Agents of SHIELD season 3. I know the showrunners are at least aware of newer comics such as this one--they brought Lash and Robbie Reyes into the show--so I'd say it's at least possible.

Spoilers for both series follow.

The first similarity was a weapon Danny was given once his chi was drained. It is practically the same weapon Gideon Malick was given in S3E15 "Spacetime." I included a picture of both with this post for comparison.

Not only that, but the main villain of The Living Weapon has a couple similarities with Hive, the main villain of AoS S3. In the 6th issue of TLW, "The One" rants about power, what true power is—which is quite reminiscent of a speech Hive gave about power to Gideon Malick in "Spacetime."

Not only that, but The One and Hive are alike in that they both have numerous people inside of them—or at least have the memories of dead people inside of them and often speak through that person. The One speaks from the perspective of Danny's father and his mentor; Hive speaks from the perspective of Will Daniels and Gideon Malick's younger brother.

Is this really all a coincidence?
