## Strengths/Pros

Each of the Defenders are defined by their own unique abilities such as senses enhancement for Daredevil to react and perceive things normal people would not be able to. the Iron Fist after harnessing his Chi can augment his mental and physical capabilities. while Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are the powerhouses of the team and can take many blunt forces and still keep fighting.

Luke Cage and Jessica Jones have known each other for a while, so they can cooperate with each other well.

Daredevil is beginning to take the leadership status.

Iron Fist and Luke Cage are beginning to develop a friendship, despite their rivalry in powers (Luke Cage and defeat Iron Fist easily, however, cannot be stopped by Iron Fist's powers once charged)

Daredevil and Iron Fist are very skilled martial artists, with or without armor or powers respectively (Daredevil is seen to be more skilled than Iron Fist in martial arts).

Once charged, Iron Fist can defeat nearly anything.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

They tend to not cooperate well (Iron Fist doesn't cooperate well with others, Daredevil doesn't cooperate with Iron Fist that well).

Daredevil can become distracted over personal feelings and killing others.

Jessica Jones can still take damage from bullets even with super strength. She has no power in comparison to Luke Cage.

Luke Cage, even when strong, cannot withstand any Chitauri-modified weapon (alien weapons from the invaders at New York, stopped by the Avengers).

Iron Fist can be pretty cocky and goes in with or without a team, putting himself at risk at all times. He also has to "center his chi" when wanting to use the Iron Fist power, which may take time depending on his current state of injuries.
