Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Basically, you know The One Danny faced? The robot? That was Wolf's replacement. His job was to face Iron Fist's as their final test after they conquored the dragon and gained his chi. He was very, very good at his job, and one day Yu Ti commanded him to throw a fight for Orson Randall, the only other white guy to become Iron Fist (He used handguns, and powered up Danny with his chi before he died in Immortal Iron Fist.) He refused to throw the fight and left to form his own mystical city of malcontents.
Danny may have won, but only after an ephiany of realizing he had to protect K'un L'un. Contrasted with going in to battle against Fat Cobra and having it put in his mind that he must lose, which he was uncertain affected his performance on a subconscious level..

"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
Start of fight (Danny doesn't have access to the dragon, but he did absorb the chi of 3 other warriors after their defeat..)

So like I said, kind of hard to compare this to Fat Cobra.
Danny was waaaay more motivated against Wolf.
And Stilt, see what I mean about Bendis maybe being given an editorial nudge? Maybe a worry a death arena won't draw as well if Danny gets Bane'd in a parallel series, and that's all fans know of him?
