At a young age Danny was raised in the hidden city of K'un-Lun. There he practiced daily in various disciplines and fighting techniques, allowing him to manipulate his t'ai chi ch'uan or chi to perform various tasks. When the time came he was sent on his final task to battle the dragon, Shou-Lao. He was successful and gained the mystical power of the Iron Fist. He was destined to rule his people, but was given a year to say good-bye to the outside world, but Danny decided to use his time helping people, during that he met Luke Cage and the became partners in crime fighting. Both he and Luke were later recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. to join the Training Program along with White Tiger (Ava Ayala), Nova (Sam Alexander), and Deadpool (Wade Wilson).

After Cage knocked out both Iron Fist and White Tiger, Spider-Man used electro-webs to attack him, successfully causing damage, but still, it didn't de-bond Cage. After saving the guests who were in the street from a falling ventilator, Spider-Man returned to the rooftop, where Iron Fist freed Power Man, but after dodging its many attempts, he was finally attached to the symbiote.
