SPOILERS! In 1974 legendary comic creators Roy Thomas and Gil Kane created the comic character Iron Fist! Iron Fist was a hero that was fashioned after the many popular martial arts movies that were showing up in American cinemas at the time. Throughout the eighties and beyond Iron Fist had been more routinely teamed up with Power Man (a.k.a. Luke Cage) in a comic called Heroes for Hire. This past weekend Netflix debuted a TV show based on Danny Rand, the warrior Iron Fist of K’un L’un. Iron Fist was savaged by critics and took a pounding on the internet for not correcting its whitewashed origins.

Or does Iron Fist rise above the media lashing that has been visited upon it? Find out on this week’s episode of Part-Time Fanboy!
