Iron Fist is supposed to be pretty young. He is 19 when he defeats the dragon Shou-Lao the Undying and in his early twenties when he returns to New York. Luke Cage and various other characters call Danny Rand kid a lot in the old Power Man and Iron Fist comics.
Quake (Daisy Johnson) on Agent's Of Shield is Asian and a hero. Hogan the grim in Thor, Agent May and Howling Commando Jim Morita are Asian as well.
