As M:AoS approaches, I started thinking about how some characters could be introduced into the MMU and have decided to share...
...assuming people have a working knowledge of a character's history and powers.
Since there was a lot of assumptions that the first episode featured Luke Cage, I'll start with -
Now, there are two ways to tell this story: beginning in the middle, or starting at the beginning.
Iron Man began in the middle, where Tony woke up in the cave, then we learned how he got there, and things moved forward from there. Batman Begins was the same way, so we'll begin at the beginning.
In the late-eighties, Wendell and Heather Rand are in the Himalayas. She's pregnant, and he's on a quest to find K'un-Lun. They reach the city, and Heather's water breaks. The monks take the couple in and help deliver the child - a son they name Daniel.
Over the next twenty-five years, Daniel is raised as a citizen of K'un-Lun. He accepts the philosophies and beliefs of the people and learns martial arts, eventually faces Shou-Lao, and earns the power of the Iron Fist.
By this point, Daniel's parents are dead, and having nothing more to learn from the city Daniel decides to continue his education outside the city...and back on the Earthly plane.
He returns to America, and discovers he's inherited his father company, fortune and the family residence...much like Bruce Wayne. However, due to how Rand was raised, he wants none of it. He sells the residence, lets the company continue as it has, and moves into a cheap one-room apartment in a place somewhat familiar...San Francisco's Chinatown.
One morning, while at a local tea shop, some thugs with newly developed weapons show up to rob the place. An armed woman tries to stop them, and before tensions rise too high, Daniel disarms the thieves. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (who are following the weapons) arrive and take over the scene while the woman, private detective Misty Knight, brings Rand to her office and they discuss the fact that the weapons they just saw have been seen all over the city. They agree to work together to find out who's arming the gangs.
This of course gets them in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s way, and before long they meet up with Coulson. They all track down the person responsible...The Mandarin Master Khan, and in the final showdown we (along with Knight and Coulson) witness Rand use the Iron Fist for the first time to destroy the machinery that created the weapons.
Coulson agrees to let Rand be, but his team gets called to Georgia to follow up on a breakout from Seagate Prison...
Rand of course starts a relationship with Knight and uses his trust money to fund Heroes for Hire...
The audience learns of the secret organization that funded Khan. (Could be A.I.M., T.H.E.M., HYDRA, or the Red Tide [whatever that is])...
I can not WAIT for the show to start, but I'll probably have to wait an additional thirty days...f**kin' Hulu...
