History
Years ago, Daniel Rand’s father found the legendary city of K’un-Lun. Saving the life of the city’s ruler, Wendell Rand stayed in K’un-Lun for a time before desiring to return to the United States. Years later, Wendell took his son Daniel, his wife Heather, and his friend and business partner, Harold Meachum, on a journey back to K’un-Lun. When Meachum betrayed them, Daniel’s parents died, and he survived only due to the timely intervention of agents of K’un-Lun. Seeing the boy’s need for focus and desire for vengeance, the city’s ruler Yü-Ti directed the famed martial arts master Lei Kung the Thunderer to train the boy. Danny Rand trained in K’un L’un, eventually defeating the dragon Shou-Lao and gaining the power of the Iron Fist, the city’s protector and champion. Returning to the United States, Iron Fist avenged his father and took over the family business, Rand International. He also met hero-for-hire Luke Cage (AKA Power Man). The two became unlikely friends and partners, working together as freelance super heroes for years. Eventually the two dissolved their business partnership but not their friendship. Danny then wandered the world, seeking enlightenment and resolving various issues with his troubled past.Recently, Iron Fist has returned to the United States once more.

Personality
Danny Rand is disciplined, motivated, and idealistic. He seeks an enlightened existence through meditation, spiritual exploration, and the study of martial arts. Not that he doesn’t like to have fun—he has a romantic streak, and though somewhat stiff and naïve in his early days, years spent hanging with Luke Cage have given Danny street smarts and a sharp sense of humor. He’s also willing to go the extra mile to help his friends, even if this means challenging the authorities and covering up the paper trail with even more paper.

Abilities & Resources
Trained to be the current Immortal Weapon for the fabled city of K’un-Lun, Iron Fist is one of the world’s greatest martial artists. He has mastery over his body’s internal energies, or chi. Danny can channel this energy to heal, augment his physical and mental abilities, and transform each hand “like unto a thing of iron,” making them capable of delivering devastating blows. His abilities also extend his life and grant him exceptional resistance to disease and toxins, though these can still affect him and weaken his chi. Danny is also a shrewd businessman, accomplished acrobat, and trained investigator. As the current Immortal Weapon of K’un-Lun, Iron Fist can draw upon the resources and secret knowledge of that fabled hidden city. Danny also runs his family’s multinational corporation, Rand International, though its fortunes rise and fall. Iron Fist is a long-time partner and best friend of Luke Cage and has many connections in the super hero community. Chief among these allies are Daredevil and the Daughters of the Dragon, Colleen Wing and Misty Knight. Misty and Danny have a long romantic history, and she recently told him that she may be pregnant with his child.

Hey Rip I have a question about PP.

Is there a limit to how many can be spent in a turn? Like, let's say I've got three on the back burner and I'm taking a crux shot at an act boss, absolutely need to make this work or we're all boned, and I roll a bunch of 2's and 3's. Obviously I salvage this roll by, say, activating Fortune Favors The Bold to reroll and coming up with better totals, BUT could I then polish that turd as hard as possible by spending the remaining two PP to retain both an extra roll for my total and to add a second effect die? Just curious

[Rip]

As far as I am concerned, if you have the Points, spend 'em as you can. They are meant to represent Superheroic Drama and are borne of increased tension, so if you have three saved up then that likely means you've taken some potshots from Fate and it's time to get even.

Obviously there are limits tho: each Plot Point must do a different thing (no spending three to get a Total made up of 5 dice, for instance)
