I asked Rich who or what Iron First is. This is what he told me:

Luke Cage’s partner Danny Rand. Mystical kung fu superhero. His fist is “like unto a thing of iron” or somesuch. Half of the unlikely buddy superhero team, Power Man and Iron Fist. White kung fu guy against black, street thug, Power Man. They were mercenary superheroes, Heroes For Hire.

So now I’m some the wiser.

I asked because Deadline have reported movement on an Iron Fist movie. All there is so far is the name of a screenwriter: Rich Wilkes.

Wilkes is the guy who wrote the original XXX, which I at least think fondly of when reminded of its sequel, and was a collaborator with The Jerky Boys on their wholly unnecessary movie. All credit to him for the casting of Glory Daze however, as he managed to get Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Sam Rockwell, Spalding Gray and Brendan Fraser on board as a first time director with only a humble budget.
