3. Claire Temple - White Tiger

White Tiger's presence in Iron Fist is a big deal. First, Colleen wears a red silk jacket with two tigers emblazoned on it, which definitely feels like a nod to the Sons Of The Tiger, who were the 1970s martial arts crime fighting team who played a big part in White Tiger's formation.

The Sons used claw amulets to empower them, and eventually ended up passing the amulets on to White Tiger when they retired as a group. In the Netflix backstory, the claws found their way to Colleen's dojo.

Early on when she turns up in the show, Claire grabs what appears to be steel claws to fight with, and then later claims them as she leaves the Dojo in the final episode saying they belong to her now. She's effectively just claimed the amulets and taken the first steps to becoming White Tiger.
