You may be, but also there are at least six other characters named Scythe that I'm AWARE of in the Marvel Universe.

Apparently it doesn't kick in until adulthood, for some reason, most likely being that it's chi training that keeps it working. The comic plays the trope loosely.

This is very much a plot point, guys.

Yet she still comes closer to killing Danny than any of the other Hand Assassins here. A fully powered Bride of Nine Spiders would WRECK a Danny at this stage of his training. Heck, she'd wreck the Danny from before his 90s resurrection.

Seems odd that she'd sign on with the order that her own was meant to destroy, apparently, at any rate. :)

There are FAR worse ways to find that fact out. Like by seeing it happen on-panel, which is why I know. Considering that reveal is after she'd been played for laughs as the charming not-entirely-sane Cloudcuckoolander for multiple arcs before, it's disconcerting on an entirely different level.

Nope! She's the one female Iron Fist we know about. She gets a spotlight flashback issue in the Immortal Iron Fist run, and her legacy is the reason that Lei-Kung, despite the city not allowing it, trains every woman he can.

I will say this: she doesn't lie again in the entire rest of the series, so that's what makes this ONE exception fascinating.

My theory WAS that, as Crane Mother, she would be able to mystically draw on the life forces of everyone who consumed the heroin to fuel her chi… but since the show has decided that Crane Mother is a different thing than the comics, that's out.

Comics-Scythe is very physically different, to the point where it never occurred to me that the character was him… especially since he's a lot closer to Shang-Chi foe, Zaran the Weapons Master.

The point being that he has a little ACTUAL experience behind the wheel of a real car. The show seems to want us to think specifically THIS car, but never says as much and I'm 90% sure that the timeline doesn't fit.

I kept hoping he'd pop up again in the third act, but no.

I will say that the show makes it abundantly clear that Danny's pretty much been brainwashed as part of his training, and it's the doubts about that which arise after he fought Shao-Lao that caused him to leave the city.

He didn't. He confirms it later in another episode. :)

The Pirate Queen of the Pinghai Bay, Wu Ao-Shi, would beg to differ.

Which would make a lot of sense if she wasn't already in control of the entire city via corruption, apparently, anyway. The shows (and I'm including the others here) still haven't explained her endgame.

While I can only assume that the show must have called the guy Scythe, he's a LOT closer to Zaran the Weapons Master, a Shang-Chi foe. Enough so that I didn't think that he was anything but. The Bride of Nine Spiders is, canonically, both creepy as all hell and also an Immortal Weapon like Iron Fist, which is why I…

Canonically, her chi power would mean the exact same thing would happen.

One thing I loved is that he clearly has heard this so many times it's rote repetition from Lei Kung, but he also has absolutely no idea what it actually means.

He looks so much like Zaran the Weapons Master that I assumed it was him.
