"That's what you could be. That's what an Iron Fist is."
Bakuto to Danny Rand[src]

Iron Fist was a master martial artist loyal to the Order of the Crane Mother and protector of K'un-Lun.

Biography[]

Immortal Iron Fist[]

"In 1948, a group of Chinese soldiers got lost in the mountains during a mission being recorded for propaganda purposes. They were headed into a remote area, but someone was there protecting this passage. And, as you can see, he had no interest in letting them pass."
Bakuto to Danny Rand[src]

Iron Fist was trained by the Order of the Crane Mother in K'un-Lun in the ways of martial arts. He later defeated the dragon Shou-Lao and won the power of the Iron Fist. With his new abilities, the Iron Fist guarded the secret pass to K'un-Lun.
