Iron Fist #1

Universe 1198: Death at the Crater

Kang Rauma never meets Hari. He fights his way alone through the mountains and reaches the Oscide crater at night. As he touches the meteor, its cosmic energy overloads his body. His heart explodes with raw power, shattering his ribs; his fists crack the ground as he collapses. The villagers who arrive later see only a burned corpse, fists still clenched, and a smouldering fragment of Oscide beside him. In this universe, Kang becomes a cautionary tale about greed and impatience. The Oscide sword is never forged. Without Kang’s ascendance, the mountain valley becomes a myth, “the place where a ghost burned bright and vanished.”

Universe 2144: The Oscide Fist

Instead of forging a sword, Kang presses Oscide shards directly into his fists, letting the metal fuse with his bones. His skin becomes silver-threaded, knuckles glowing faintly. He loses some dexterity but gains impossible power: every strike releases a shockwave like thunder. Villages collapse under a single blow; avalanches start when he trains in the peaks. Hari flees, realizing Kang has chosen the path of destruction. Here, Kang is no sentinel but a living weapon—a walking wall, unstoppable but untamed, feared across Asia as the “Fist Meteor.”

Universe 3880: The Sword Saint of Tibet

Kang listens to Hari, trains for years in discipline before wielding the Oscide blade. He becomes a wandering monk-warrior, defending villages from bandits without killing them, using the flat of his blade or his fists to disarm rather than destroy. In this timeline, Kang’s legend spreads as a protector, a Tibetan sword saint who teaches the art of balance between strength and restraint. Instead of a wall, he becomes a bridge between mercenaries and innocents. Oscide hums quietly at his hip, a living reminder of the stars.

Universe 4729: Mercenary Emperor

Kang kills Hari at the crater, takes the Oscide metal, and forges his own monstrous cleaver. He sells his services to the highest bidder—warlords, syndicates, and rogue governments. The blade channels energy blasts that can flatten fortresses. Within five years, Kang becomes a shadow emperor of the Himalayas, commanding armies of mercenaries who wear Oscide-infused armor. The world fears the “Iron Wall of the East.” This is Kang without a mentor, a testament to power untempered by conscience.

Universe 5066: Oscide Rejects Him

When Kang touches the meteor, Oscide refuses him—its energy slides off his skin like oil. But Hari still arrives and teaches him ancient Sentinel techniques. Kang never gains the blade but attains superhuman speed, perception, and control of chi. He remains mortal but can outfight enhanced soldiers. His fists break weapons without harming the wielder; his feet glide across snow without leaving prints. Without Oscide, Kang becomes legend through discipline alone—“the empty-handed wall.”

Universe 6137: Oscide Beast

Instead of forging a blade, Kang ingests powdered Oscide fragments to “internalize” the power. His body mutates, muscles hardening into silver scales, eyes glowing like molten metal. He becomes more beast than man, moving on all fours when enraged, fists that can punch through tanks. Hari tries to save him but Kang flees into the high mountains, hunted as a monster. Villagers whisper of a silver demon in the snow whose roar causes avalanches. In this world, Kang’s quest for power strips away his humanity.

Universe 7420: Sentinel Recruit

Hari successfully recruits Kang into the Sentinel agency. Kang forges a slender Oscide sabre designed for speed and precision. He learns tactics, stealth, and global threat response. His “wall-level” power becomes a shield for others: he intercepts assassins, disables rogue nukes, rescues civilians from collapsing buildings. He’s still feared but now operates as part of a team, codenamed “Wallbreaker.” In this universe, Kang is a true hero, his fists and blade a frontline against cosmic and terrestrial threats alike.

Universe 8029: The Oscide Forge

Kang doesn’t just make one sword; he becomes the world’s only Oscide smith. He forges weapons for worthy warriors, each blade attuned to its user. His own weapon is a twin-sword style, complementing his martial arts. Hari becomes his partner, turning the forge into a hidden Sentinel outpost. Together they train a new generation. Kang still fights, but his legacy is not the battles he wins, but the weapons and warriors he creates.

Universe 9012: The Wall Killer

Kang grows obsessed with testing his new Oscide sword against fortifications. He razes ancient monasteries, tears down stone citadels, and declares himself “the Wall Killer.” Hari dies trying to stop him. Entire regions become wastelands where he’s passed. The world eventually unites to stop him, but only nuclear strikes slow him, and even then he crawls from the ashes. This is Kang as villain, the embodiment of unchecked martial ambition.

Universe 10,055: Duel of Legends

Hari trains Kang for years, then reveals another Sentinel trainee—Solaris, drawn to Earth decades earlier. Kang and Solaris spar, fists and blade against cosmic light. A rivalry forms; each believes the other’s path threatens humanity. Their final duel takes place atop the Himalayas. Oscide sword flashes like silver lightning; Solaris’s beams carve valleys into the snow. Only one survives the clash: Kang, broken and scarred but victorious, standing with his blade planted in the ice while cosmic particles drift away on the wind. He becomes a solitary guardian of Earth, forever haunted by the opponent he had to kill.
