10 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Marvel’s Iron Fist

Marvel's latest Netflix show, Iron Fist is now here and acts as the final show in the run-up to the much-anticipated Defenders miniseries. So, how does it measure up to the rest of the lot? Well, sadly, it hasn't been met with the same warmth - from critics, at least, as fans seem to love it all the same.

One of the most fan-pleasing easter eggs in Iron Fist is its callback to ‘The Incident’ – the in-universe name for the Battle of New York at the end of The Avengers. It’s been namechecked at least once in every Marvel Netflix series.

In this show, it comes when Dr. Paul Edmonds admits that Danny’s story of the Iron Fist could be real:

“I do know that ever since the Incident, I’m seeing a lot more people who honestly believe they have superpowers.”

The line could actually be a double-easter egg, too. On the one hand, the doctor could just be saying that the rise of superheroes has caused those suffering from delusions to latch onto the concept, or he might be alluding to the Inhumans. Over on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., many are developing superpowers due to the Terrigen Mists. Interestingly, Iron Fist‘s showrunner Scott Buck is also helming the upcoming Inhumans TV show.

Speaking of the Incident, one of the Avengers is referenced in episode 6 as well. Rand Enterprises’ crisis advisers mentions that Danny’s apology video has more hits on YouTube than “that incredible green guy.” This continues the aversion to saying the Hulk’s name in the Netflix shows, after Jessica Jones and Luke Cage referred to him as “the green dude.” Still, at least they got “incredible” in this time.
