"I got my moms and two brothers. You think I could cover that with what I make pushing a broom?"
"I get it, but those private fights are illegal."
"All the shit I could've got into, you want to bust me for making a dollar fighting?"

Biography[]

Attacked by Cops[]

During the search for Luke Cage, the cops apprehended a few people in the streets. Darryl was one of them. He was being interrogating regarding the whereabouts of Luke Cage. Darryl claimed he didn't know him, but had a friend who did.^[1]

Chikara Dojo[]

Fighting Colleen Wing[]

"You might want to sound a little less like a fat duck, Darryl. I could hear those feet slapping on the sidewalk a block away."
"Yes, sensei. My shoes are too big."

―Colleen Wing and Darryl^[src]

Darryl joined a dojo where his sensei, Colleen Wing tasked him and his group with surprise attacking her. They did, but weren't successful as she defeated them all. She then scolded Darryl before walking away.^[2]

Private Fights[]

Darryl often went to private fighting rings to earn money. This caused him to earn a scar under his left eye.

Arriving one morning at Chikara Dojo to perform his routine janitorial duties, Darryl watched as Danny Rand meditated to loud music. He then watched as Rand sparred with Colleen Wing. When she had enough, she attempted to kick Rand out, but he offered to pay her rent for six months. She told him he can't even afford a haircut. However, she eventually let him stay. When Rand was out, Wing asked Darryl what his scar was from. He told her about the fights, and she told him its against the rules.

Later that day, Darryl was given teaching duties over the class. Upon Rand's arrival and the display of foolishness in the dojo, he gave Rand the floor, where he made attempts to teach the students similarly to his experience in K'un-Lun. Darryl witnessed as Caleb continued to goof off, Rand striking his ankle with the sheath of the katana. Wing then pulled him away.^[3]

Wing's rules were later tested when Darryl found a video of her taking part in cage fights. He posted it online and showed his classmates. When Wing walked in, she told them phones weren't allowed and asked them to line up. She then pulled Darryl aside to talk. Wing said she needed to apologize for her actions, but Darryl told her there was no need and said he posted the video online so that people would come in for lessons. She told him she broke to code of Bushido and it was a one time thing.^[4]

Graduating the Dojo[]

Darryl eventually graduated from the dojo with a full scholarship. Wing congratulated him and sent him on his way.^[5]

Meeting Danny Rand Again[]

Darryl got moved to a Hand Compound. Later, he and his friends managed to find and introduced themselves to Danny Rand. Since being there, Darryl expressed that he could spar with the warrior, briefly showcasing what he learned before returning to their conversation. When Rand asked about their experiences on campus, they told that they enjoyed their time at the Hand Compound, feeling as though they were in a family. Darryl also answered that the students do not ever feel like leaving and added that there were a couple of areas that were off-limits to them.^[6]

Escape from the Hand Compound[]

At night, the alarms are sounded and Wing told Darryl to find Danny Rand. He stepped in between Rand and the exit, trying to stop him from leaving. Without warning, Davos knocked his leg down, breaking the bone. Bakuto dragged Darryl away and to a post. Darryl writhed in pain as his allies fought Rand and Davos. After they escaped, Bakuto told Darryl he did his best to stop him, that's all he could ask for. Bakuto then announced that Darryl was the future.^[6]

Personality[]

Darryl is a bright spirit and often optimistic of himself and those around him. He is also ambitious in his goals and mature. However, he listened to his leaders too closely. He blindly followed Bakuto's rule despite his morality. He also was very loyal to his sensei, Colleen Wing.
