Quick disclaimer, I WAS going to do Colleen Wing this week, but my schedule just got EXTREMELY packed so I decided to do Harold Meachum instead. Colleen will be next week’s 101.
As I said in my Iron Fist 101, Harold Meachum wanted control of the company he co owned with Wendell Rand. So, when he, along with the Rands, traveled to K’un-Lun, he caused Wendell to fall to his death and he confessed his love to Heather!

Jeez, this guy’s a douche.
After Heather and Danny ran away from him, he started making his way back from the expedition. BUT, Meachum got lost and nearly froze to death. Residents of a small village saved him and took him to their village. His legs had to be amputated due to the damage they received from the cold. While he was recovering in the village, he learned that Danny survived!

Harold returned to the United States and led Rand’s company and prepared for Danny’s return. When Danny FINALLY faced Harold, he spared him. But, in the end, Harold would be killed by the Ninja assassin.
However, Harold’s death would not mean the end of the Meachums. His brother Ward ALONG with Harold’s daughter would start to cause Danny trouble.
Danny would eventually fall in love with Harold’s Daughter.
Before we go, I just want to add a few things. For one, I’m glad I did these two back-to-back because it looks like the Netflix series will be taking a different approach. In the show, The Rands will be in a plane crash in the mountains, and Harold Meachum does not lose his legs. Harold will be sick, like he is in the comics. Also, I think it’s safe to say Harold will have instigated the crash.
What are your thoughts on Harold Meachum? Will he be a GOOD villain for the series and earn a spot on the best MCU villain list? Comment below!!
