Marvel's Iron Fist: Ranking Every Major Character From Worst To Best

9. Bride Of Nine Spiders

One of the best ideas the show has comes in the sixth episode, when Danny is forced into a tournament by Madame Gao as part of his rescue mission.

While the Russians he comes up against first of all are largely forgettable goons, the next one on the ladder proves far more compelling, even if the show doesn't fully deliver in the action stakes again.

First there's the Bride of Nine Spiders, played by Jane Kim. The character acts as a seductress, trying to defeat Danny by using her sexuality against him, and it very nearly works. Even though he obviously wins, it provides a moment of much-needed campy, comic book-y fun, and that's all down to the Bride (and Kim's performance).
