Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man

2x13 - Journey of the Iron Fist

A lone arachnid against impossible odds, you say?

Don't make me laugh!

Your kung-fu is no match for my Spider...

...foot.

Better to pay attention than to pay for mistakes.

Better to have a coupon and not pay at all!

Wise and easy on the wallet.

Not for nothing, but my weekly sparring sesh with Iron Fist

is way un-Zen today. What is it with you?

Patience takes practice, and practice makes perfect.

The spirit of a K'un L'un warrior beats in you.

Yeah, speaking of beating,

I'm getting tired of this one.

Can I have my web-shooters back?

'Cause I'd like to start, you know, winning.

There is no dishonor to be found in one's abilities.

Your web-shooters are only a tool.

You are more. Now, again!

You're not even paying attention, are you?

There's something in the air.

That smell? It's just Brooklyn.

No. Change is coming. Look out!

Whoa! That, that was faster than my spidey-sense!

A ninja?! No way! I've never kicked ninja booty before!

This is no game. Remember, "arrogance comes before the fall."

And me without my web-shoooooters!

That was... wow. I've never seen you use that much power.

It isn't over. Grab your web-shooters.

What about all that "using one's ability" talk?

Repetition begets skill.

Neither lie in you against this assassin.

- Did you just insult me? - Hurry!

There is no honor in you!

Iron Fist!

Spidey say, fists are nice,

but tools sure do come in handy sometimes.

While I can stand I will not stand for this!

I will teach you the honor of K'un L'un!

What he said!

Yo, dim-jitsu!

Your kung fu is strong,

but not as strong as that truck. Buh-bye.

- Thank you. - Don't thank me.

Tell me what the heck was up with that ninja and...

Daniel Rand.

- Is that Papa Fist? - No, he's...

I'm sorry, Spiderman. I don't have time to explain.

Thank you for allowing me to be a guest in your home.

Keep my worldly belongings.

- I have no more need for them. - What's going on here?

Who was that ninja dude who just handed us our bottoms?

Why are you talking crazy?

Who's the short-stack?

He's come to take me home.

You have been a great friend. Goodbye.

Home? The tricarrier's your home!

Danny, this doesn't make sense! Even for you!

May our paths cross again. Namaste.

Uh, so yeah, we're not just gonna let this happen, right?

Rand Industries? That's funny, Danny's last name is also Rand.

I'm spidey-sensing a connection.

Rand Industries!

America's leader in aerospace technology!

Building a better tomorrow and beyond.

Has anyone seen my incense?

Danny's loaded?! Why would Danny dollar signs sleep on my floor?

Zen or not, a floor's a ... he said I could have all his earthly possessions!

Time out. Rich would rock, but I'd lose Danny.

Nope. It wouldn't be enough! Obviously!

Roll travel map!

I'm not one to hitch a ride,

but as flies the Iron Fist, so goes the Spiderman.

Though something tells me I should've packed a parka.

I wonder if S.H.I.E.L.D. delivers. Brrr!

So this is the mystical city of K'un L'un?

Bea-u-ti-ful!

Even my spidey-sense is feeling groovy.

Whoo! And freezing!

Investigate Spidey-thermals.

Intruder!

Oh, no no no! No no! Visiting! Not intruding.

I'm actually here as Mr. Fist's plus one.

Y'know? Iron Fist? Surfer dude?

Bandana? Can I get some hot tea?

No outside infidels may trespass on the sacred ground of K'un L'un!

So much for hospitality!

Whoa whoa whoa!

How are you doing this without sleeves? I mean seriously.

Stand your ground and fight me with honor!

Stop! He's my guest.

Iron Fist, glad to see you have not grown soft and plump

in the outside world, brother.

- He's your brother? - A brother in faith, not blood.

You have forgotten yourself, Daniel.

If you throw your lot in with this fool, you shall suffer the same fate!

Gladly.

He did that with his fingers?

Does everyone here excel in the tail-kicking department?

You have forgotten yourself, Scorpion.

Scorpion? Oh! The tail and the angry and I... I get it.

The infidel is under Iron Fist's protection.

We must honor this right by our own law.

- Infidel is bad, right? - Depends on your point of view.

You have an uncanny skill for being in the wrong place

at the wrong time, my friend.

Yeah, I'm also good at listening to you

tell me what's going on, but let's do it inside.

This is the monastery, the spiritual center of K'un L'un.

And warm. Don't forget warm.

- Hello, Daniel. Spiderman. - Namaste, Doctor.

Wait. That was Doctor Strange!

We're astral plane neighbors. He comes by to borrow sugar.

Anyway...

No anyway! This may all seem normal to you,

but to Spider-infidel it's totally bananas!

A ninja attacks us. You leave with a mystic sensei in a limo.

You're secretly a billionaire that drank all my orange soda.

I'm in a hidden realm!

And Doc Strange just pops in... to borrow sugar?

- Pretty much, yes. - Talk.

K'un L'un is a very special place,

the mystical heart of the world, and as such,

it has been protected from the outside for centuries.

I was a wayward child who turned my back on one empire

to embrace my destiny with another.

I was trained by the elders and told that one day

I would usher in an era of peace as the king of K'un L'un.

So I trained in the ways of honor,

defeated the dragon Shou Lao and earned the Iron Fist.

But to be king, I have to leave the outside world forever.

I was given one year to say my goodbyes and get my affairs settled.

Instead, I chose to learn. With S.H.I.E.L.D., and you.

But the monks don't trust the outside world.

They believe it to be corrupt and without honor.

That's ridiculous! We have the greatest heroes!

I mean, they're outnumbered five to one by villains,

but we, we have some good TV. And the corn dogs?

There's much to learn from the outside,

but the monks are set in their ways,

and I am honor-bound to... to...

- Danny, you don't look so hot. - ...take the throne.

Worse, if I don't, Scorpion is next in line.

K'un L'un would fall under his rule.
