## Powers & Abilities

* **Chi-Enhanced Physiology:** Danny Rand possesses the power to harness the mystical spiritual energy, or chi. When focusing his chi, it enhances his natural abilities to extraordinary levels, thus branding himself with the dragon's mark on his chest.
	+ ***Chi Augmentation*:** Through concentration, Rand can harness his chi to augment his physical & mental capabilities to enhanced levels. He initially could augment his physical prowess to peak human levels but later learned how to reached enhanced levels. It was stated his sense of self has grown ten thousand fold & his capabilities now possess infinite depth. He no longer tires from using his chi and is capable of using his powers for greater tasks, such as destroying a train with the iron fist punch as it collided with his attack at full speed, healing himself from several external injuries & detoxifying unwittingly ingested poison in his body with his chi.
		- ***Iron Fist Punch*:** By summoning his chi & focusing it into his hand, Danny can draw upon superhuman energy & make his fist inhumanly powerful, as well as superhumanly resistant to injury & pain on a superhuman scale. With his fist in this state, Rand can shatter wood & brick, rip through steel & punch his opponents with extraordinary concussive force without sustaining injury to himself.
	+ ***Peak Human Strength*:** Typically, Iron Fist possesses the pinnacle physical strength of a human man of his particular age, height & build that engages in intense regular exercise. With the use of his spiritual energy, Iron Fist is capable of augmenting his strength to incredible superhuman levels which limits are unknown, but he was able to go toe to toe with a being who easily manhandled the likes of Luke Cage.
	+ ***Peak Human Stamina*:** Iron Fist's musculature is enhanced to generate less fatigue toxins than the musculature of normal humans. He can exert himself physically at peak capacity for over an hour before fatigue begins to impair him.
	+ ***Peak Human Agility*:** His natural agility, balance & bodily coordination are as honed as is humanly possible.
	+ ***Enhanced Speed*:** He is capable of running & moving at great speeds & is as naturally as fast as a human can be without being considered superhuman. Without the use of chi, he can run up to 35 mph. Iron Fist can use his spiritual energy to augment his speed to superhuman such as when he was able to hit a large monster over a hundred feet tall, nearly a hundred times, in the span of a few seconds at speeds faster than the human eye could see.
	+ ***Enhanced Reflexes*:** His reaction time is enhanced to the point where it could be considered superhuman. His reflexes are so efficient that he can dodge point blank gun fire, catch arrows in mid flight & has even been capable of snatching and tagging bullets out of the air, etc.
	+ ***Enhanced* *Durability*:** The tissues of Iron Fist's body are harder than those of other humans. While still vulnerable to physical injury, he is able to use his spiritual energy to augment his durability to vast superhuman levels. Through focus & meditation, Danny can sustain himself for extended periods of time in extreme temperature environments.
	+ ***Energy Absorption*:** At times, he has absorbed energy directed at himself & channeled it to augment his own power.
	+ ***Enhanced Senses*:** Danny's awareness has increased to new levels, though to what level it is unclear. His senses are so great he can hear the sweat running down the cheek of a person in another room & even with his back turned, he is able to sense when a complete stranger is going to strike before they actually do. He also has unusually keen eyesight.
	+ ***Accelerated Healing*:** If he sustains injury or illness, Iron Fist can focus his chi for the purposes of healing his injuries.
	+ ***Chi Manipulation*:** He can channel his chi into a ranged attack to increase its striking capabilities as concussive blasts. He has learned how to create various illusions & make his foes see what he wants them to see through the art of hypnotism. Danny is also capable of detecting energy signatures, as well as tapping into energy fields, most notable the electromagnetic field.
* **Acrobatics:** Rand is an extremely skilled acrobat capable of many difficult feats.
* **Business Operation**: Although Danny is not an expert businessman, he has developed a lot of entrepreneurial learning.

He also holds victories over Sabretooth, Black Panther, Spiderman, Daredevil, Colossus & Nightcrawler. He also possesses infinite ways to kill a man.
* **Meditation:** Rand is a master of meditation & relaxation techniques. He can enter a trance-like state to ignore pain and slow his heart rate.
* **Multilingualism:** He can speak fluent in K'un-Lun, English, Chinese & has a limited vocabulary in Japanese.
* **Nervous System Control:** Rand has near-complete control over his nervous system, enabling him to deaden himself to pain, but not during a fight, as it takes a lot of concentration. He can also resist the effects of drugs or poisons, slow down the rate at which he bleeds & pass lie detector tests.
