Davos is a native of
K'un-Lun and the son of
Lei Kung. A gifted student of his father, Davos was one of two candidates who earned the right to challenge for the power of the Iron Fist but was defeated by
Wendell Rand, the adopted son of K'un-Lun's ruler
Lord Tuan. Davos accused Tuan of unfairly favoring his son and left the city without permission to confront the dragon
Shou-Lao. Failing to defeat the dragon, he returned to K'un-Lun in disgrace and was exiled to Earth. Twenty years later, Wendell's son
Daniel succeeds in winning the Iron Fist power and soon afterwards returns to Earth. Davos tracks Iron Fist to New York and steals his power. Since he had not earned it fairly, the Iron Fist's power consumes Davos's body and returns to Danny. Davos is later defeated by
Junzo Muto, the teenage leader of
the Hand, who then absorbs the remnants of the Iron Fist from his body, resulting in his second death.
The Immortal Iron Fist Davos is resurrected and granted power by the
Crane Mother, promising to locate and destroy the renegade Iron Fist
Orson Randall in return. His power is further enhanced after he consumes the life forces of the Crane Mother's daughters. Davos allies with
Hydra against Iron Fist in a plot to build a tunnel through the K'un-Lun mountains. Davos locates Randall in an opium den in Bangkok, Thailand and reports to the Crane Mother, who sends two of her daughters to investigate. When Davos attacks Randall, Randall allows him to kill him, claiming that he will no longer have to run. Now known as the Steel Phoenix, Davos takes part in the Tournament of the
Seven Heavenly Cities. Early in the tournament, he battles
Tiger's Beautiful Daughter, who cuts off his left hand. Enraged, Davos forms a new hand by concentrating his
chi, then nearly beats his opponent to death. The next day, the
Prince of Orphans challenges Davos to a fight instead of his scheduled opponent,
Fat Cobra. Davos accepts, only to be swiftly defeated by the Prince. Davos takes part in the rebellion of K'un-Lun after his father forces him to recognize the potential treachery of his allies by asking him to consider the possibility that there might another angle that he had not anticipated rather than constantly assuming that he was always right. He helped overthrow the Yu-Ti Nu-An and began a process of redeeming himself in the eyes of his peers. His father, Lei Kung the Thunderer, who has taken over leadership of K'un-Lun, charged him with guarding a dragon egg, from which Shou-Lao shall be reborn for the next Iron Fist to fight.
Iron Fist: The Living Weapon Davos' redemption does not last. He forms an alliance with the One, an android who had absorbed the memories of Wendell Rand, to take over K'un-Lun. The two lead their army of cybernetic ninjas to sack K'un-Lun. While the One kills Lei-Kung, Davos attempts to take Shou-Lao's egg, blinding his adopted sister
Sparrow in the process, but a young monk named
Pei flees with the egg to
New York City to search for Rand. Davos and his soldiers track Pei down and captures her and the hatchling, Gork. He then meets with the One at the Rand Building to turn New York into New K'un-Lun. Iron Fist and Sparrow confront Davos at the Rand Building, with Sparrow staying behind to fight her brother while Iron Fist takes on the One. Using the siphoned chi of K'un-Lun's citizens, the One attempts to open a portal to the afterlife to summon Wendell's deceased wife
Heather, but instead summons the
Xian fire god
Zhu Rong, who attacks the city for the One's actions in upsetting the universal order. Realizing all is lost, Davos attempt to flee back to K'un-Lun, but is stopped by Sparrow and the other freed citizens. In the ensuing fight, Davos kills Gork to gain the Iron Fist for himself. Instead, Pei receives the power and swiftly defeats Davos while Iron Fist absorbs the One's chi to vanquish Zhu Rong.
''Deadly Hands of K'un-Lun'' Davos' Iron Fist powers are restored by
Lin Feng and he joins Feng's campaign to revive
Chiyou. He leads Feng's army in ravaging the Seven Heavenly Cities and killing the Immortal Weapons. Feng then has Davos lead the War Fists to invade New York City from a portal in K'un-Lun. Despite some resistance from
Lin Lie, Feng's brother and the current Iron Fist, and Lie's friends, Davos reaches his true target: the
Inhuman Tower of Wisdom which houses a portal to
Attilan, but he is intercepted and defeated by
Karnak. == Powers and abilities ==
