Chi Augmentation: Through concentration, Orson can harness his mystical chi to augment his physical and mental capabilities to superhuman levels.

- Heightened Awareness - Has the ability to detect a threat to his well-being in his immediate vicinity before they commit the action
- Enhanced Speed & Reflexes - He can increase his speed allowing him to dodge or catch bullets. Without the use of chi, he can run up to 35 mph

- Olympic level athlete and gymnast
- Trained in the use of almost all martial arts weapons
- Knows how to use small firearms such as pistols

Personality: Orson is a cocky and energetic fighter, capable of dodging his opponent's attacks while simultaneously taunting them at the same time. Styling himself after his idol, Bruce Lee, Orson is quite prone to many yelps and howls when fighting along with practising a highly agile fighting style more akin to that of an amalgamation of both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Charismatic, Orson is often the chap to heighten the teams morale through jokes and pranks he plays. That being said, if he ever acts serious, then something is probably seriously wrong.
History:
Orson was born in New York, to a seemingly normal family with nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever. Of course, appearances are not always as they seem. His father, Wendell Randall had discovered the mythical realm of K'un-L'un as a child and had become the adoptive son of its ruler, Lord Tuan. He had left K'un-L'un in his early 20s, and become a wealthy entrepreneur before eventually marrying and making a family for himself.
Around the time that Orson was 9 his father began feeling nostalgic about K'un-L'un and organized an expedition to find the realm once more. The expedition took them all over the world, from Africa to the middle east and finally to Tibet. Whilst climbing a mountain in Tibet, a business associate by the name of Meachum murdered Wendell and made a run for the hills. Orson managed to get himself lost, and in the process of looking for his mother he stumbled upon a bridge that he swore was not there before. Suddenly, wolves jumped from the brush and were about to attack Orson before they were shot down by K'un-L'unian archers.
He was taken into K'un-L'un and after explaining who his father was it was decided that he'd train under Lei Kung, a wise old warrior who taught Orson everything he knows. He stuck with his training until the age of 19, when he was offered the chance to attain the power of the Iron Fist. He fought and defeated the dragon, Shou-Lou before tearing out his heart and absorbing the power of the Iron Fist and simultaneously receiving the large dragon scar he bears on his chest to this day.
He left K'un-L'un seeking revenge for his father, and went in search of Meachum in his hometown of New York. He eventually did find, Meachum, strapped into an iron lung after the events on the mountain took a turn for the worse for him. Orson took pity on Meachum, but also saw this fate as worse than that of death. He turned his attention to heroing, and was soon contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D to join the defenders.
