Bullets are one thing for a guy with steel-hard skin, but he’ll need a power upgrade before locking horns with the Rhino and butting heads with the Hulk! It’s far from a sweet Christmas when a new foe strikes—one with ties to one of his greatest enemies! With his family’s lives at stake, Luke sure is a friend in need. Good thing Iron Fist is his friend indeed!
