25 greatest Marvel-Netflix characters of all-time

22. Davos
Danny Rand’s closest friend and greatest enemy. Davos grew up alongside Rand in K’un L’un and the two became thick as thieves. At the completion of their training, Danny and Davos had to fight to see who would gain the right to meet the dragon in order to acquire the power of the Iron Fist. Danny won the battle and gained the power and Davos became incredibly jealous.
He always believed that he was destined to hold the power and couldn’t believe that an outsider was the person deemed worthy of the fist. So, eventually, his jealousy of Danny turned to anger. His anger was fueled further when Danny abandoned K’un L’un to return to New York.
Davos was furious as Danny had left K’un L’un unguarded in order to satisfy a personal affair. As such, he followed him to America to try to convince him to return. But Danny wouldn’t be convinced. His time back in New York had changed him and he was no longer willing to kill the Hand, so Davos accused him of being a traitor.
During Season Two, he took matters into his own hands, literally. Davos acquired the corpse of a previous Iron Fist and used an ancient ritual to steal the power from Danny. During this time, he travelled the city murdering criminals in his own twisted brand of justice. Danny eventually defeated his old friend who was then arrested, vowing that he’d have his revenge.
