9) He Is A Real Team Player
In the comics, the Defenders is generally a group for heroes who don’t play well in a team and who usually have their own agendas, sort of like the Avengers’ rowdier, younger brother. Iron Fist, however, has been part of many superhero teams over the years.
He was part of the original Heroes For Hire before he created his own much larger organization of the same name. Later on, he was one of the New Avengers and Secret Avengers, as well as being on Captain America’s side in the Civil War conflict.
Iron Fist is mostly identified with the Defenders, though. Interestingly, the group were originally brought together by none other than Doctor Strange to deal with supernatural and mystical threats. We can hope that this means Benedict Cumberbatch will at least cameo in the upcoming Defenders series, but we probably shouldn’t hold our breath.
