The good-hearted and caring **Jordan Knight** has recently become known as the savage, combative vigilante **Iron Fist**. Born to a **detective father** and a dying mother, Jordan would meet **Shay Daniels** and his mother, **Jennifer Daniels**, as Jennifer and his father began to date. Jordan assisted Shay and **Hooligans** throughout their superhero career. After a falling out with Jennifer over Shay, Jordan moved to Cilvia City, where he encountered a drunken kung-fu master named Xiao Chen, who went by Shang-Chi. Here, Shang-Chi would teach Jordan how to harness his exceptionally high Chi and help him to become Iron Fist.

The two would form the **Heroes for Hire** and eventually recruit a third member, Katherine Jacobs, also known as Wendigo. The trio would become the defenders of Cilvia City and fight villains such as Mother Crane, Hammerhead, **The Goblin**, and The Mandarin. During this time, Jordan would become a consultant for the CCPD.

Recently, Jordan would reach out to Shay after the superhuman war against **SHIELD** and report that Dynamics' "Droid" rollout had come to Cilvia City. He would gather the Heroes for Hire to begin investigating the droids in their city, but that was when Jordan discovered a more sinister plot at play as he found a droid spying on him inside of the HFH Loft. Destroying it, he had **Selena Carter** backtrace it and found that Hammerhead remotely controlled it, but Selena deleted the footage before it was transmitted. Realizing that the city might be turning against him, Jordan and the Heroes for Hire began to take extra measures to ensure their safety as a war for Chinatown broke out.

## **Attributes**

### **Powers**

**Chi-Enhanced Biology**: After training with Shang-Chi, Jordan learned that his body gave off excess life energy known as "Chi." As a result, Shang-Chi taught Jordan how to harness this energy and use it to augment his body further than the base limits he already has. Initially, Jordan needed to focus this energy on a specific body part he wished to enhance. Nevertheless, over time, Jordan entered a state of constant enhancement as his body became used to his newfound state. However, to perform the primary ability his name is from requires stamina. Shang-Chi forced Jordan to master the enhancement part first, as it elevated his stamina to the point of commanding the iron fist.

* **Superhuman Physiology**: As mentioned above, Jordan's base abilities are enhanced and fine-tuned due to his chi energy. He has been shown to lift cars with some strain, fight superhumans on equal footing, and more. His durability is equally heightened to the point that he can take hits from The Goblin and survive explosions with some damage but not enough to impair him. His senses, agility, and stamina are all heightened to the point that they are on par with Jane, who he frequently spars.
* **Chi Manipulation**: As stated, Jordan's body generates excess amounts of chi energy for an unknown reason. Due to the sheer amount of extra power, Jordan has learned to manipulate it differently over time. Primarily, he has used it to strengthen his attacks and recently learned how to make ranged concussive attacks. His abilities are actively growing, but so far, Jordan has shown a great mastery over his chi manipulation that is only rivaled by Shang-Chi and The Mandarin, who both have bested him on numerous occasions. However, Shay has stated that Jordan could beat him in a fight as Chi doesn't set off his Spider-Sense because it is mystical.
	+ **The Iron Fist**: Jordan's primary ability is known as "The Iron Fist." Jordan can harness his energy into his fists which in turn makes them glow brightly, and utilize this to a devastating effect. He has shown that he can shatter walls, physically hurt superhumans, and release concussive waves from his punches. The upper limit of strength these fists release is mainly unknown as he has only used it to fight, but Shang-Chi stated that users of The Iron Fist are mighty, with some even slaying dragons with the fist alone.
* **Meditative Healing**: Jordan learned that he could heal faster upon meditation recently. When Jordan meditates, it centers the chi within him and extends it across his body internally, which allows for his body to heal rapidly. Initially, it took Jordan a few hours to recover from bruises and busted knuckles, but now, Jordan can heal within minutes, with more significant wounds taking more time.

### **Abilities**

* **Shaolin Combatant**: While Jordan is still training with Shang-Chi, Jordan is still wildly capable and on par with some of the more renowned fighters of the superhero community. He has defeated Jane Harper, who Master Shredder has trained; however, the two often go back and forth between wins and losses. He beat Andre Lucas, a renowned street fighter and stalemated Jade Dragon. According to Shang-Chi, There are four people in the superhero community that Jordan would not be able to defeat, barring himself. The first is Shay Daniels. As Jade Dragon trained Shay, he has a Spider-Sense that detects danger, and his agility is heightened to the point that he can dodge faster than Jordan can attack. However, when they sparred, Jordan defeated Shay nearly, but Shay only won because of his "Shogun Stance," as he moved faster than Jordan could dodge. The second is the Master Splinter of the TMNT. While Jordan and Splinter have never met, Shang-Chi claimed that he was one of the greatest fighters the world had ever seen. The third is Master Shredder, who Jane has regaled stories of—lastly, James Barnes. Bucky had trained Shay and Ren, who both confirmed that the only reason why they were able to fight back was because of their powers. Jordan has had the opportunity to spar against Bucky, and while the two were evenly matched in the beginning, Bucky defeated Jordan by using Jordan's chi against him. Regardless, Shang-Chi has called Jordan the greatest natural fighter he had ever seen and has trained him in Shaolin Martial Arts. When asked if Jordan could become the greatest fighter by Jade, Shang-Chi told him that Jordan has the potential to be, but his unwillingness to kill holds him back.

* **Criminology**: As a former cop turned CCPD consultant, Jordan has a high knowledge of criminality. He has shown great skill in figuring out where stash houses are, the likelihood of illegal drops, fronts, and more. Before quitting, Jordan was on the fast track to becoming the youngest detective in CCPD and LVMPD history, as he had a track record of high-profile arrests and a knack for figuring out criminal hideouts for raids. Jordan was investigated by Internal Affairs numerous times for these "hunches," but they came up empty as Jordan was simply that good.

## **Paraphernalia**

### **Equipment**

* **The Iron Fist Suit**: Created as a gift by Shay, The Iron Fist suit is highly durable and is based on materials that he received from Rainbow. The suit is resistant to environmental damage but lacks any technology-based advancements, as Shay knew Jordan wouldn't use it anyways. The only technology within the suit is a telemetry readout and a comms system. The telemetry goes to The Alchemist Computer and, later, the HFH Loft Computer for members of both Hooligans and Heroes for Hire to monitor.

## **Notes**

* Jordan Knight, and by extension, Donuts exist outside of mainstream Marvel Universe continuity. Themselves, their stories, and other characters are unrelated and not connected to the Marvel Multiverse.

## **Trivia**

* Jordan loves rap music and actually was the one who introduced Shay to it.
* Jordan will often travel to Vegas, specifically only for Uncle Fern's Record Shop.
* Jordan and Shay get into arguments over vinyls or CDs.
* Jordan is the only character who didn't have a love-triangle as he kept to himself romantically. He has only expressed interest in Katherine Jacobs but they agreed to be friends.
