Ranking The Main Characters Of Marvel’s Iron Fist

Marvel's Iron Fist has long been anticipated by fans of the House of Ideas' Netflix output. As the promotional material for the show has made clear, Danny Rand is the final Defender we have to meet before The Defenders mini-series - which unites Rand with fellow streetwise superheroes Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage - arrives this summer. Sadly, however, the hype might have been too much for the show, as it's been met with a pretty scathing critical reception.

7) Joy Meachum

A slightly more tolerable character than Ward is his younger sister, Joy Meachum. From the off, it’s clear that she’s a better person than Ward. Even though she goes through with his amoral business dealings, at least she has a moral quandary about it. On the other hand, she’s also presented as being a shrewder businessperson, as she’s able to clinch deals that Ward is unable to. This dichotomy between her natural business acumen and her conscience offers a decently fleshed-out character.

Danny’s arrival awakens her feelings of guilt for who she has become, and the moments where she opens up to Danny about the tragedy she’s suffered in her life help rise her above the stereotypical spoiled brat that is her brother. Not to mention the fact that said brother is keeping the secret that their father is actually alive from her, which further helps her to be more sympathetic.

However, her place as the third wheel in Danny and Colleen’s growing romance – there isn’t much active passion between the pair, but they were basically set for an arranged marriage as kids – is just a pain, as there can’t be anyone out there who’s hoping these two characters get together.
