Probable Death Battle Victor
Vs Marty McFly: Iron Fist - 99% probability of victory. Marty’s lack of combat skills
makes him no match for Iron Fist’s martial arts mastery.
Vs Robin Hood: Iron Fist - 98% probability of victory. Robin Hood’s archery would
be ineffective against Iron Fist’s agility and chi powers.
Vs T-800 Terminator: Iron Fist - 85% probability of victory. Iron Fist’s chi abilities
could potentially damage the T-800 beyond repair.
Vs The Master Chief: Iron Fist - 70% probability of victory. The Master Chief’s armor
is advanced, but Iron Fist’s mystical powers could give him an edge.
Vs Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman - 60% probability of victory. Despite Iron
Fist’s abilities, Wonder Woman’s divine powers and combat experience would likely
prevail.
