Master Martial Artist: Cheng gave the highly-trained Danny Rand an extensive bout, managing to compete with his extremely capable Kung Fu skills. However, his constant state of intoxication often has him telling jokes and falling asleep, making him to be a nuisance for Madame Gao and his allies in the Hand.Ĭheng swiftly fighting against the Iron Fist Zhou Cheng greatly values his honor and takes his vow as the sworn defender of the Hand very seriously. But unlike you, I've remained true to my vow." ―Zhou Cheng to Iron Fist Rand asked Temple if Cheng was okay, and she replied that he was not. Horrified by what he had done, Rand backed away from Cheng and Temple checked his pulse. Claire Temple and Colleen Wing then arrived, bringing Rand to his senses. The enraged Rand knocked Cheng through a door and straddled him, beating him to a bloody pulp. Cheng threw the flask at Rand, who grabbed it and smashed it over Cheng's head as he came to attack. Rand insisted that he was there to stop the greatest threat to K'un-Lun and Cheng declared this a lie, that Rand was wearing his oath like a mask and had come to punish rather than protect, and accused him of having no honor. Rand struggled to his feet and went after Cheng, knocking him into a wall and temporarily overpowering him.Ĭheng threw an object at Rand but missed, and as he stood he grabbed another flask and stated that unlike Rand he had remained true to his vow. Angered by this, Cheng attacked with renewed fury, causing Rand to bleed internally with a kick to the stomach. Rand told Cheng his masters were murderers and broke his flask. He stood once again and grabbed a hold of Rand, stating that the one thing they had in common was that they both swore an oath of protection. He awoke and rolled over into a pose, telling Rand that while he was not impressed by his fighting, he very much liked his haircut. Rand retorted that a man only fought with his mouth when his fists were lacking.Ĭheng attacked once again, flipping through the air and kicking Rand in the stomach, before momentarily falling asleep again once he hit the ground. As the fight progressed, he mocked Rand, comparing him to a child throwing a tantrum rather than the great warrior the Iron Fist was supposed to be. He continued to drink as they fought, even offering Rand a taste of it. Cheng attacked Rand with his skills in Zui quan, even striking him with the flask he had been drinking from.
He then challenged Rand to combat and the two got into a ninja stance. Rand questioned Cheng on what his master would think of his drinking, to which Cheng replied that he insisted upon it.Īs Cheng staggered to his feet he explained that while some chase the dragon he needed to keep his sedated, otherwise bad things would happen.
Cheng proudly declared himself to be the disciple of Ch'i-Lin and the sword defender of the Hand. Cheng refused to move and Rand insisted that he did not want to fight him, but would if he had to. Cheng angrily asked Rand what he was doing there, and Rand explained that he needed to enter the building and attempted to bribe Cheng to finish his nap elsewhere. Once they had entered, he closed the door, sat back down and went back to sleep.ĭanny Rand, who had watched from a distance, approached Cheng and woke him.
She ordered him to open the door to allow them entry and he stood up in a drunken stupor and fulfilled her demand.
Zhou Cheng slept at the door of Madame Gao's compound in Anzhou and was woken by her when she arrived with her bodyguards. Tell me, Iron Fist, where's the honor in that?" ― Iron Fist and Zhou Cheng Ĭheng sleeps outside of Madame Gao's base You're here to punish, not protect! You're wearing your oath like a mask.
