The Defenders: 30 Best Easter Eggs In Netflix's Marvel Universe (So Far)

21. Jimmy Pierce - Iron Fist

Speaking of The Punisher, another character to have worn the iconic suit turns up in Iron Fist. When Colleen Wing is trying to earn herself some cash appearing at Fight Clubs, her second set of opponents are known as The Duke and Jimmy Pierce.

Pierce's name should ring a few bells as he became the new Punisher in 1994 when Frank Castle was believed to be dead. He was basically coerced into taking the mantle when his mother was supposedly taken hostage. In the end it turned out his family were in fact a crime family and were using him to take out rivals.

Clearly he went down a different path in Iron Fist's universe.
