Who is Nu-An?

Nu-An is a denizen of K'un-Lun, the mystical city at the heart of Iron Fist's mythology. He inhabits the same rarified world as Yu-Ti and Lei Kung the Thunderer, figures central to Danny Rand's origin and training.

Nu-An is a Bronze Age Marvel creation who stepped onto the page in the landmark 1974 debut of Iron Fist in Marvel Premiere #15 β€” a collector-celebrated key issue that introduced readers to the mystical world surrounding Danny Rand. Conjured by the legendary team of Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, Nu-An inhabits the same rarified corners of the Marvel Universe as Yu-Ti, Lei Kung the Thunderer, and Wendell Rand, figures deeply woven into Iron Fist's mythology. Over a remarkable 45-year publishing span across titles like The Immortal Iron Fist and Iron Fist: Wolverine, this character has proven a quiet constant in one of Marvel's most beloved corners of the Bronze Age and beyond β€” a testament to the enduring richness of the world Thomas and Kane built.
