Po VS Iron Fist is a What-If? episode of Death Battle by Howsitgduud, featuring Po from the Kung Fu Panda series and Iron Fist from Marvel Comics in a Kung-Fu fight between two masters of Chi.

Description

Kung Fu Panda VS Marvel! Both have mastered Chi, but who is the better warrior?

Interlude

Wiz: Chi, translated as “energy flow,” is the life force that every living being has, and is the basis for every medicinal practice in China.

Boomstick: And these two have mastered Chi to do one thing and one thing only: beat the shit out of people!

Wiz: Like Po, the Dragon Warrior,

Boomstick: And Danny Rand, the Immortal Iron Fist. He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick.

Wiz: And it’s our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!

Po

Wiz: Tigress. Monkey. Mantis. Crane. Vipress. These masters of Kung Fu are the Furious Five, trained by the Kung Fu masters Shifu and Oogway, they are the most powerful Kung Fu warriors in all of China.

Boomstick: However, there was a noticeable gap in this team. You see, God came down and gave Master Oogway, what else, a prophecy. The prophecy says that there will be a Dragon Warrior that will come along, learn the secrets of the Dragon Scroll, save China, blah blah blah chosen one crap.

Wiz: Nobody realized, though that the Dragon Warrior would be a fat, inexperienced, clumsy panda. Long before Po was declared the dragon warrior, he was born in a clan of pandas, where they lived peacefully until tragedy struck.

Boomstick: This asshole peacock named Lord Shen found out about another prophecy that said he would be defeated by a warrior of black and white. So naturally, he killed almost all of the Pandas in the valley. Po escaped, however, in a box full of radishes.

Wiz: There he was adopted by a goose and was raised as a fan of the Furious Five. One day, he went to see Master Oogway announce the Dragon Warrior live, when he accidentally fell in and Oogway pointed at him. He was the Dragon Warrior.

Boomstick: Nuh-uh Wiz. There are no accidents.

Wiz: But you have to admit that this is a really weird coincidence. Nevertheless, to everyone’s dismay, Po was trained by Master Shifu to learn the secrets of the Dragon Scroll.

Boomstick: And train he did! Po, through the power of food, became a Kung Fu master! After a few days of training, he was able to take down Tai Lung, who incapacitated all of the Furious Five.

Wiz: To do this, he used some natural skills to his advantages. His Kung Fu resembles the Shaolin Dragon Kung Fu style, which prioritizes controlled strikes and fluid movements, similar to a dragon. Also, his chubby physique can help defend against pressure point attacks, negating them entirely.

Boomstick: Plus, he knows a legendary technique that only the best warriors know: The Wuxi Finger hold. With a single flick of his pinky, Po sends whoever’s dumb enough to get their finger caught to the Spirit realm. Skidoosh.

Wiz: Not only that, but Po has also mastered control of his Chi. You see, all Pandas are imbued with a special ability to control their Chi and use it to heal others.

Boomstick: Po’s Chi helped him take down Kai, who is specifically out to hunt people for their Chi. Yeah, Po, despite being a fat panda, has done some crazy shit in his time. He defeated Lorn Shen, who was able to absolutely annihilate Master Storming Ox and Croc, and even rallied a group of pandas to take down jade zombie versions of defeated Kung Fu masters.

Wiz: He was even able to dodge and redirect giant cannonballs. Judging by the size of the cannonballs and distance between Po and the boats, those cannonballs must have been moving at 33mph.

Boomstick: Not insane enough for you? How about Po taking a hit from one of those cannons point-blank with only a wok as a shield? Is there anything this panda can’t do?

Wiz: Well, yes. Po is a very quick learner and a great martial artist, but he’s also not really a good strategist. He normally runs into battle head-on and makes up plans on the fly. Also, he’s very naïve and can easily get overpowered if he gets overconfident.

Boomstick: Even then, Po is still as badass as animals get. You don’t stop the Kung Fu Panda.

“So, panda, who are you?”

“I am Po. And I’m gonna need a hat.”

Trivia

• The connection between Po and Iron Fist is that they are both powerful warriors with dragon motifs that come from unexpected origins and eventually became the best in the land. They have both mastered numerous martial arts styles, and have mastered using their Chi in battle to deliver powerful attacks (The Wuxi Finger Hold and The Iron Fist, respectively). They are both also key members of crime fighting groups (The Furious Five and the Heroes for Hire, respectively).
