Jennie: "W...what happened to me?" Mariah: "You went a little off the rails. That's all. We got you back, girl." Jennie: "I felt so much...hate. I wanted to destroy everything." Mariah: "Ain't no more hate here--just love. Don't make me bust out into my favorite jam from the Lion King." Power Man and Iron Fist vol. 3 #4 by David Walker, Sanford Greene, Lee Loughridge, and Clayton Cowles

One of the great joys of this series, and something that writer David Walker discussed quite a bit in interviews at the time it was being published, is the way that large numbers of under-used and forgotten characters (including some very goofy D-level villains from the 70s) were brought back into the spotlight and given a bit more depth, personality, and humanity. One character in particular is Mariah "Black Mariah" Dillard, who first appeared in Luke Cage: Hero For Hire #5 and made a mere handful of appearances in that series and in Power Man and Iron Fist volume 1 before largely disappearing from the Marvel Universe. Here, 40 years later, she reappears as a new friend to Heroes for Hire's former office manager Jennie Royce, who in this series is finally released from prison following the events of Power Man and Iron Fist volume 2.

When this new dynamic duo's quest for power goes awry and Jennie gets corrupted by a magical artifact, it's Mariah's love for her that saves the day. This scene encapsulates something this series does so well: melding heart and humor in a celebration of shared humanity and connection. Jennie and Mariah's friendship, while established solely for this series, ends up feeling very special, especially when placed alongside the love between Luke and Danny that anchors the comic.

It gets even better than that! Danny and Misty's daughter in the Secret Wars: Secret Love alternate universe is named Lucy after Luke.

Secret Wars: Secret Love, "Misty and Danny Forever" by Jeremy Whitley, Gurihiru, and Clayton Cowles

And there's a future in which Dani and Lucy are married to each other.

Just found out that Luke Cage’s daughters name is Dani, that’s so cute I’m actually gonna keel over and die, Luke and Danny are the comic book best friends

Danny: "Everything since I've come to this island has been a lie. I was blind. I was so wrapped up in what I'd thought I'd lost...that I didn't realize what was really at stake. It wasn't my identity. It was never about me. It was about K'un-Lun. The one thing I was meant to protect. The sole responsibility of an Iron Fist. Without K'un-Lun...I have no purpose."

Iron Fist's 50th Anniversary: A Fan Survey

Hello!

I've been running this blog for six (whoa...) years now and have been blogging about Iron Fist in general for longer than that. Throughout this time, I have been fortunate to get to know some wonderful fellow fans of the character. On the occasion of this amazing IF milestone, I thought it would be a fun opportunity to reach out directly to the fandom on Tumblr and get to know everyone a little bit better. With this in mind, I've put together a short series of questions, which anyone is welcome to answer in a reblog/reply to this post. You can answer all of the questions or just one, in as much detail as you'd like. No pressure, no stress, and no deadline; I'd like to see how long and far this circulates.

I would love to know:

How were you first introduced to Iron Fist?

What is your favorite Iron Fist comic and/or adaptation?

Who is/are your favorite character(s)?

What do you enjoy most about Iron Fist? What made you a fan?

Anything else you'd like to share!

Please tag anyone you think might enjoy answering this. Alternately, I'd appreciate if you would consider reblogging this, so that it can get to as many people as possible.

Thank you, and enjoy!

#Thank you so much for answering! #I truly appreciate hearing from someone who wasn't initially a fan but became one over time. That makes me really happy. #kodicrome-212 #Iron Fist Fan Survey #Iron Fist 50th

Danny: "And they’re not from K’un-Lun-- too nasty and dirty-looking.” Master of Kung Fu Annual #1 by Doug Moench, Keith Pollard, Petra Goldberg, Duffy Vohland, John Tartaglione, and Jean Hipp

"You're too unhygienic for K'un-Lun" is both a fun worldbuilding detail and also an insult that I feel Danny should use more often.
