Well, I did kind of steal the death of the Rands from that. I've never really liked the wrinkle that Wendell Rand lived in K'un-Lun, completed all the trials, and nearly became Iron Fist before effing off to become a billionaire instead. It makes Danny not just a white savior but the son of an even bigger white savior...

Other than that, yeah, the well of inspiration runs pretty dry.

I do like how Immortal Iron Fist tied all that together with Orson Randall though.

And the kind of spin on fate where Wendall's not actually meant to ever be the Iron Fist, and the depth in trying to return to that world after he was kind of scared off of it by Orson who had his own views on the role and place of the Iron Fist.

The fact Wendall basically turned Orson's accrued family wealth kind of de-fangs that incredulity as well.

Wendall was forever chasing Orson's shadow, and the one he wound up accepting was less the one he actually wanted... and more what was less intimidating.
