*"I'm still trying to figure out who I'm gonna be as the Iron Fist. Lei Kung taught me that I was a powerful weapon... a flame meant to destroy our enemies. But I keep thinking that... maybe I can be something else. A light... for those trapped in the darkness."*

―**Danny Rand** to Colleen Wing
**Daniel Thomas "Danny" Rand** is the son of Wendell Rand, the CEO of Rand Enterprises, and his wife Heather, and his little brother Jordan Rand. Rand lost his parents in a plane crash which resulted with the young Rand and youngest being rescued by monks and taken to K'un-Lun where he trained and eventually took the title of the **Iron Fist**. Rand returned to New York City to claim back his name and soon fell into conflict with the Hand when he had learned that Madame Gao was using his company to sell the Steel Serpent around the world. Rand challenged Gao and soon joined forces with Harold Meachum and Bakuto. However, Meachum and Bakuto turned against Rand, while intending to use the power of the Iron Fist for their own purposes, forcing Rand to defeat them both. Thinking that he had fulfilled his mission to defeat the Hand, Rand returned to K'un-Lun with Colleen Wing, only to discover that the gate to the city had closed while he was gone.

Searching the globe with Wing for any new leads to the Hand, Rand's one lead was assassinated by Elektra, prompting him to return to New York, where he and his brother was introduced to Luke Cage by Claire Temple. Together, along with the assistance of the vigilantes Daredevil and Jessica Jones, Rand soon fulfilled his prophecy to finally destroy the Hand, saving New York while apparently losing Daredevil in the process. Honoring his ally's final wish, Rand decided to continue protecting New York as a vigilante. Rand then teamed up with Cage in order to put an end to Bushmaster and his criminal actions within Harlem, as Rand then assisted Cage not only as a warrior, but also as a mentor in order to help Cage become a superior hero.

While he continued to use his powers to protect New York City, Rand and his brother were eventually reunited with Davos, who sought his revenge against the Rand's for abandoning K'un-Lun and leaving it to be destroyed. With the aid of both Joy Meachum and Mary Walker, Davos kidnapped Rand and performed a ceremony to steal the power of the Iron Fist from him, before also crippling Rand. With help from Colleen Wing and Misty Knight, Rand regained his strength and went to stop Davos from continuing his murderous rampage through Chinatown as he slaughtered the members of Yangsi Gonshi and Golden Tigers, eventually deciding that the youngest Rand should take over the power of the Iron Fist instead. Upon defeating Davos and giving the Iron Fist over to Jordan, Rand left New York with Ward Meachum to investigate Orson Randall, while regaining the power of the Iron Fist.
