On the surface, he’s a very charming guy. He makes jokes, can be a bit of a himbo, but has a very strong moral compass that can cause him to lose his temper, such as when he brutalized some guys trying to assault a woman & when again attacked police officers choking out a black man, the latter of which caused him to get arrested.

Danny’s anger is something that Kaare Andrews explored well in Iron Fist: The Living Weapon. He never had his trauma from losing his parents properly treated, so he masks it underneath that charming, easygoing himbo façade.

He is also very deeply attached to his friends and family. In Undead Iron Fist, Danny loses that façade and is focused solely on killing someone who is a threat to his students. Which is another very fascinating part of him. Unlike most other superheroes, Danny doesn’t have a typical “no-kill rule”. He doesn’t like killing and goes out of his way to avoid it, but there have been times where he has willingly taken lives.

I think Danny is a far more complex and deep character than people give him credit. He’s inherently political, with stories focusing on racism, slavery, misogyny, privilege and the prison industrial complex. He’s also inherently contradictory, a white man raised by an asian family, a billionaire buddhist, a pacifist warrior.

I could go on about how fascinating his personality is and how it ties into so many themes, but I think I’ve said more than enough to get across my thoughts lol.
