Iron Fist as an idea is already pretty badass, but add on being an ass-kicking Chinese pirate queen and you get pretty much the coolest character on this list so far.

In 1545, the mantle of Iron Fist moved on to Wu Ao-Shi. As you can imagine for a girl who would grow up to lead an army of PIRATES, she was not the easiest to deal with for the uber-disciplined monks of K'un-Lun. But after some training by Kei Lung the Thunderer, she was soon ready to face the challenge.

Which, unfortunately, did not sit well with her fisherman boyfriend, who only grew more and more distraught with how violent her life was, and would eventually leave her. Giving chase after him, Wu soon found herself butting heads with some pirates that had taken over Pinghai Bay.

You would think this would be over quickly because, well, Iron Fist. But Iron Fist or not, a thousand heavily armed pirates are still a thousand heavily armed pirates. Fortunately, Wu's boyfriend, who was living in Pinghai bay, comes to his senses and springs her, allowing her to destroy the pirates and take over as the new pirate queen.
