Power Man and Iron Fist Dog Names

Introduction

Before they were Defenders, before they became Heroes for Hire, Power Man and Iron Fist took New York city's criminal underworld by storm. First debuting in 1972, Marvel's Power Man and Iron Fist line of comics sought to break the mold in a number of ways. The series aimed to break down the racial barriers that were prevalent in 1970's era American society, give Blaxploitation its proper due in comics, and tell stories that were much smaller in scale but that also hit close to home for many readers. Various incarnations of Power Man and Iron Fist have come and gone through the years - aiming to continue the same traditions that the original series started.

Featured Famous Power Man and Iron Fist Dog

Wolf

Our pick for this article's Featured Famous Power Man and Iron Fist Dog will certainly need some explaining. Our choice was motivated by a pivotal scene from the second season of Netflix's Luke Cage show. We'll keep things vague as not to spoil any key plot details. Suffice it to say that during a very tense scene, Luke's Father - the Reverend James Lucas - preaches to the members of his church and tells them not to give into their negative emotions in times of tribulation and hardship. To emphasize his point, he tells a parable about two wolves - one that represents Light and Justice and another that represents Darkness and Hatred.

Reverend Lucas goes on to suggests that a version of these two wolves lives inside each and every one of us, spiritually vying for our souls. Both the Light Wolf and the Dark Wolf are equal in power - one unable to completely overtake the third party. Reverend Lucas goes on to say that we're the third party in the Wolves' never-ending battle for our souls and that the Wolf that will ultimately win the war is the wolf that we choose to feed ourselves. It's a metaphor that encourages us to pay attention to where we're focusing our minds and our efforts in life. It's also not a parable that Reverend Lucas wholly came up with on his own.

"The Story of Two Wolves" is actually an ancient Cherokee tale that's been passed down from generation to generation for more than a few hundred years, as of this writing. The Cherokee people were and still are a very spiritual people who created numerous parables and anecdotes for a myriad of different reasons; from heartbreak to destiny, there's essentially a Cherokee parable for every conceivable scenario that one might find themselves in. The Story of Two Wolves has remained such an enduring tale because it applies to everyone, no matter your lot in life.

The story applies to Luke Cage and Iron Fist, who feed the Light Wolf most of the time by fighting crime and helping their communities - as much as it applies to you, dear reader, who could be dealing with any magnitude of crises at this very moment. No matter what happens to us, no matter fair or unfair that we feel life is, we each have the power and responsibility to decide which of the two Wolves goes hungry and loses and which of the two Wolves is fed and prevails.
