Early Life
Danny Rand is the 17-year-old martial expert, possibly one of the best in the world. He is also the acting CEO to Rand Industries inheriting the title on his fathers death. At a young age Danny was raised in the hidden city of K'un-Lun. There he practiced daily in various disciplines and fighting techniques, allowing him to manipulate his T'ai chi ch'uan or chi to perform various tasks. When the time came he was sent on his final task to battle the Dragon, Shou-Lao. He is successful and gained the mystical power of the Iron Fist. He is destined to rule his people, but was given a year to say good buy to the outside world. But Danny decides to use his time helping people.


 * Powers = Chi Augmentation: Through concentration, Rand can harness his mystical chi to augment his physical and mental capabilities to superhuman levels.

Chi Manipulation: The Iron Fist grants Rand with many abilities that he has possibly not yet learned, such as channeling the Shou-Lao chi into a ranged weapon, such as a gun or bow, to increase its striking capabilities; this technique is used both by Orson Randall and Wu Ao-Shi.
 * Iron Fist Punch: By summoning his chi and focusing it into his hand, he can draw upon the superhuman energy derived from the heart of the mystic serpent Shou-Lao and make his fist inhumanly powerful and super humanly resistant to injury and pain on a superhuman scale. This "iron fist" technique does not involve a physical transformation of any kind, simply a psychic channeling of concentrated natural energy. With his fist in this state, Rand can shatter wood and brick, rip through steel, and punch his opponents with extraordinary concussive force without sustaining injury to himself. The force of this technique has rendered incredibly durable Super humans such as the Colossus unconscious.
 * Hypnotism: After obtaining The Book of the Iron Fist from Orson Randal, Rand has learned how to create various illusions and make his foes see what they want them to see.
 * Mind Meld: He can use his power to temporarily fuse his consciousness with another person, resulting in a sharing of knowledge, emotions, and memories.
 * Energy Absorption: At times, Rand has absorbed energy directed at himself and channeled it to augment his own power.
 * Heightened Awareness: He has on occasion, demonstrated the ability to detect when a complete stranger (The Iron Fist Killer.) has intentions to harm him before they commit the action.
 * Enhanced Senses: Rand has unusually keen eyesight, but it is unclear if it extends to superhuman level. He can focus his hearing so intensely that he can hear sweat rolling down someones face.
 * Empathy: Rand has the ability to sense the emotions of other people psionically.
 * Enhanced Speed & Reflexes: He can increase his speed allowing him to dodge or catch bullets.
 * Enhanced Durability: Rand can generate a chi-based "aura" radiating from his body to protect himself from energy based attacks to a varied degree, and make himself more resilient against physical damage.
 * Enhanced Healing: If he sustains injury or illness, Rand can focus his chi for the purposes of healing his injuries. On the brink of death after a battle with Radion the Atomic Man, Daniel received a vision of Yu-Ti revealing that "the Iron Fist is not a weapon but a force of will which could perform miracles including healing," saving his life. By focusing enough he can even purge his own body of poison, however Rand experienced great pain in the process. Recently he has proven capable of healing himself almost unconsciously and does not feel drained in doing so. Rand can also channel this energy into other people.
 * Environmental Adaptation: His entire body is oriented to combat, enabling him to adapt to any environment with minimal exposure.

Peak Human Strength: Rand is as physically strong as a human can be without being classified as superhuman, enabling him to lift up to 800 lbs.

Peak Human Speed: He run at speeds greater than even the finest Olympic level sprinters, reaching about 35 miles per hour.

Peak Human Stamina: Rand has highly developed musculature generates less fatigue toxins than the musculature of most other humans, granting him phenomenal endurance. He could exert himself at peak capacity for several hours without rest before showing any signs of fatigue.

Peak Human Durability: The tissues of Rand's body are harder than those of most humans. While still susceptible to injury and disease as any normal human; his skin, bone, and muscles are augmented to levels that are somewhat harder and stronger than normal humans.

Peak Human Agility: Rand's natural agility, balance, and bodily coordination are superior to any Olympic level gymnast that has ever competed.

Peak Human Reflexes: His reaction time is superior to that of any Olympic level athlete that has ever competed.

Master Martial Artist: Rand is a master of K'un-Lun's martial arts and is proficient in many of Earth's. He has displayed everything from organized techniques in martial arts systems and even loose street fighting tactics. He is one of the greatest martial artists on Earth; having held his own against Wolverine and Captain America. Rand also holds notable victories over Gorgon (Tomi Shishido), Sabretooth, Batroc, Black Dragon, Nightshade, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Colossus, and Nightcrawler.
 * Abilities              =

Weapons Master: He has been trained in the use of almost all martial arts weapons.
