Current Danny can use Iron fist as many times as he wants without tiring. My scan with the weird monster was him calling on his inner reveres to do an amped blitz. Plus he's at least doubled his power and same for his knowledge.

Also about durability/power, the last couple feats Fist has had is dropping Phoenix Namor on his face, and this:

This isn't 90's Fist anymore.

hmm, well, it would seem that he can now withstand blasts capable of harming the ss. if that is the case then (a) marvel has has once again successfully ruined a cool character, and (b) i would change my stance if that is indeed the norm for him now-a-days.

cool. i've read SOME recent avengers, but missed danny's upgrade so some of this is new to me. but it does seem to reinforce the idea that they have indeed ruined another cool character by granting him unnecessary levels of power. 🙁

if he can definitively beat someone of bt's level (a high meta imo, and it would seem that most believe he can nowadays) then.....meh. glad i missed this updated version of the character.

what are you 😬 'ing about? silly me for thinking a high meta could pose a challenge for danny. sneer

That would you even dare pit Sir Daniel Rand against someone so beneath him is an affront to me.

Ruin? Danny's run where he was upgraded was one of the best series that Marvel's put out in a while.

He just also happens to have ridiculous feats because of that (and during the run as well).

I also think he broke Hiroim's arm as well with a hit but got jobbed out.

My word is Danny awesome.

I want to see World War Fist.

Of course, that event would likely result in the killing of a great deal of beloved characters to sate Danny's bloodlust, but that's a price I'm willing to pay.

Danny/Doom team up.

Make it happen.

It would be the most important and life changing book of the industry. It would sell more copies of the Bible, tbh.

😂

As I was discussing in a different thread its been confirmed on panel that Danny is no longer even mortal. Of course Black tarantula already confirmed that years ago with his own words.

An off panel fight with Worthy Titania and Absorbing man only resulted in a ko. One can also assume he took shots from Phoenix Namor.

It would replace the bible as the most read book in history.

if danny is fighting phoenix namor and tanking blasts that ss takes, then....yeah, i'd say he jumped the shark, least imo. he was already a great character. no upgrading necessary. the story of his upgrade may have been good (as i said i didn't follow it) but if he is now a high meta (higher??) i think he has been taken in direction counter to what he was intended to be. not that that is inherently wrong--all characters can be altered, obviously--i just liked him where he was.

I suspected as much since Orson was like 100 and only looked crappy because he was a drug addict.

Same person, different bodies.

Danny fights everyone all the time. His power is adaptable for any situation.

He's always hit really hard anyway, now they've just made him hit harder, with a slew of other abilities that makes sense for the whole "chi" angle.

And if you don't find things like this awesome:

Then you have no soul, and may be stricken by a mild case of necrophilia.

Yeah, that was a hint. In the Shang chi arc in Spider Island Shang was infected and transformed by the virus whilst Danny wasn't. It was stated that because Danny wasn't mortal the virus had no ill effects on him.

Iron Fist is what Karate Kid wants to be when he grows up.
