Is that really just a tiger? Look at the face on it. It looks like a gargoyle. It's only got three toes on each foot. Seems suspicious to me.
Is Danny wearing a fuschia suit to provoke bullies into calling him a sissy, so he can beat them up?

Danny Rand's tiger restraining skills are second to none. It's a fact.

Ooohh! Tiger punching! Like cow tipping but more extreme! Seriously, PETA is going to be all over those guys.

I like that Luke Cage used to wear his sweet threads that were his costume ALL THE TIME.

PS - Yellow shirt with v-neck and flair coller, tiara, and chain belt = costume

Rocking a black T and a skull cap - NOT A COSTUME

...sorry, I'm very touchy about Power Man.

I'm right there with you, brutha. The tiara and the "Sweet Christmas!" faux-jive might have been intended to be stereotypical, but they missed the mark so far as to make Power Man a thing unto himself. Turning him into each successive decade's stereotypical badass black guy only diluted the initial appeal of the character.

I think it bears mentioning that this all happened in an attempt to steal the Fantasticar from an car show by a guy whose "power" involved wearing a metal helmet and running into people.

And that, Cassino, is what makes it great.

I love about Power Man and Iron Fist! What I love most is that they're such a great buddy duo, but such a lousy actual team. I mean, they're basically the male models of the Marvel Universe. Shouldn't the guy with steel-hard skin actually tackle the tiger and let the guy whose fist is like unto a thing of iron punch it?
