Steel Serpent

One of the better known enemies of Iron Fist, Steel Serpent is also a K’un-Lun martial artist, having defeated Danny Rand on several occasions during their confrontations. There is no word that he’ll appear on Netflix next year. However…

However, Madame Gao will make an appearance, as it was revealed in the trailer. Madame Gao also appeared in the first season of Daredevil, where she was just a drug lord. The connection between her and the supervillain is the drug she was selling, a brand of heroic called Steel Serpent. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Especially if we take into account the skills Madame Gao showcased when she was confronted by Matt Murdock.

Of course, this is just a rumor. However, the first season of Iron Fist does need a big baddie, a boss for Zhou Cheng, and someone who has taught Gao how to channel chi energy. And that big baddie could be Steel Serpent.
