Iron Fist Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

In terms of the Marvel Universe, the character Iron Fist takes the cake as Marvel's foremost master of all things related to martial arts; anyone christened with the name "Iron Fist" can use the chi of the ancient dragon Shou-Lao to punch through walls of solid concrete, exert control over their entire nervous system, rapidly heal from wounds, and react to things with superhuman speed. The current Iron Fist is a young man by the name of Daniel "Danny" Rand. Danny's father, Wendell Rand, used to live in the mystical city of K'un-Lun; through a series of unfortunate events, a young Danny found his way to the fabled city where he trained to be a master martial artist.

Iron Fist Inspired Dog Names In Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog With an Iron Fist Name

Daniel

Dog loving Iron Fist fans will be happy to know that there's a very famous Beagle out there who shares a first name with the current and most well known Iron Fist, Daniel Rand. Daniel the Beagle is a dog with an incredible story behind him; long ago, when he was much younger, Daniel and 17 other dogs were put into a gas chamber. All of the dogs who were locked in that room perished by way of an inhumane death penalty - all of them except Daniel the Beagle, who miraculously survived despite only weighing 20 pounds.

Now a room full of carbon monoxide would be fatal even to a fully grown human adult, so the fact that a very young dog could survive such an ordeal was truly a surprise indeed. Daniel's miraculous survival of the events that transpired was so shocking that it caught the attention of Eleventh Hour Rescue, a dog rescue organization that's devoted to the cause of saving dogs that are on Death Row. Eleventh Hour Rescue took Daniel in and gave him a home with Joe and Geralynn Dwyers on November 10th of the year 2011. Since then, Daniel the Beagle has served as something of a mascot for the Eleventh Hour Rescue organization as well as a symbol of the perils that can arise from gassing animals. Daniel's Dream is an outreach program that was named after Daniel the Beagle that tries to rescue as many dogs as possible who are in a similar predicament that he was in before being rescued.

Surviving an encounter with such massive amounts of poisonous gas genuinely sounds like a feat that Iron Fist has pulled off numerous times thanks to the chi of Shou-Lao that Daniel Rand is able to manipulate. We believe that if the Immortal Iron Fist ever caught wind of this story, the martial master would be initially incensed to learn that dogs are being treated in such a fashion. However, we also believe that Iron Fist would be proud to hear of Daniel the Beagle's miraculous survival and test to see if the dog had any latent chi powers of his own.

Another famous dog who shares a name with the modern Iron Fist is an adorable Shih Tzu named Danny. Danny the dog is the star of a children's book created by Sid Shapira.

Iron Fist Inspired Dog Name Considerations

Iron Fist, as a character, was created by Roy Thomas, Gil Kane, and Bill Everett for the express purpose of injecting some Kung Fu into the Marvel Universe. In many ways, some more apparent than others, the very character of Iron Fist was created to serve as a loving homage to the great martial arts masters of history as well as a number of the films many of those figures had starred in back in the day; as Iron Fist, Danny often incorporates flying kicks and One Inch Punches into his move set in order to reference the late and great martial masters Bruce Lee. Many of Danny's other moves were borrowed from equally legendary figures such as John Saxon, Jim Kelly, Shiro Saigo, and even Chuck Norris! So if you're a huge fan of martial films, and appreciate the mystical twist Marvel put on martial arts via Iron Fist, consider naming your dog Immortal or even Living Weapon after some of Danny's aliases that indirectly reference the Hong Kong and Kung Fu films of old. Conversely, if you're just a huge fan of the Iron Fist character and the way he uses chi to pull off incredible feats, consider naming your dog Danny, Daniel, or Dragon after the Immortal Iron Fist.
