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.

Marvel’s Netflix shows have probably been stronger than the MCU’s movies in introducing tough female characters who steal the show. e.g. Jessica, Claire, Misty Knight, Elektra, etc. Thankfully, Iron Fist continues this trend with Colleen Wing, the Daughter of the Dragon, who is by far the best character in the series.

While Danny doesn’t really convince as a master martial artist, Colleen repeatedly impresses us with her karate skills, as she takes down men twice her size in cage fights and wins the respect of the students at her dojo. It’s definitely Colleen rather than Danny who provides the standout action sequences of Iron Fist. 

More than that, though, she’s just fun to watch. Jessica Henwick acquits herself a lot better here than in her stint on Game of Thrones and outshines pretty much anyone else on the cast. Thanks to her, Colleen is tough-as-nails, sure, but also courageous and clever, too.

How about that Misty Knight and Colleen Wing spin-off series, Marvel?
