Shit, I also totally forgot Danny had a sister... man I don’t remember any of the early Iron Fist stuff.

Hmm at the start of this there was a second I thought “maybe Danny’s sister is coming back” but no instead we get her desiccated corpse.

DEATH STING

When Danny had to face the Test of the Many and the One years ago, he benefitted from some unexpected help from a masked woman who fought with the skill of the demon. Once her identity was discovered, she was forced to flee K'un-Lun with her teacher-- seeing as teaching a woman the martial arts was against the traditions of the Heavenly City.

Miranda and Conal became captives of the H'ylithri who were sentient plant-based lifeforms indigenious to the realm of K'un Lun. Miranda and Conal were being held prisoners inside plant pods and Iron Fist tried to save them. However, Miranda supposedly died when Iron Fist was overwhelmed by the H'ylithri.

She was brought back to life by the H'ylithri and returned wearing the costume of the super-villain Scorpio, calling herself Death-Sting. The H'ylithri wanted her to retrieve the Scorpio Key from a SHIELD facility so it could provide the unique sustenance the H'ylthri needed to survive.

Death Sting hired Sidewinder to steal the Scorpio Key but he was killed in the process. A man named Sharyd showed Danny Rand a picture of his imprisoned sister Miranda and told him to steal the Zodiac Key in order to ensure her safety. Iron Fist successfully retrieved the Key and freed his sister. Danny told Miranda to leave with the key while he went after Death Sting. However, Joy Meachum was drugged and her assailants put her in the Death Sting costume to throw Iron Fist off.

Miranda brought the key back to the H'ylthri and Iron Fist eventually found her. Miranda told Danny that the H'ylthri promised to make her normal again with the Scorpio Key. After convincing his sister they were lying, she used the Scorpio Key to help Danny and destroy the H'ylthri.

Miranda's body was not found after the explosion and presumed dead. However, some sailors found Miranda's body in the ocean. The explosion of the pods rained enough of their life-giving elixirs onto Miranda and she survived the experience. The current whereabouts of Miranda are unknown.
