6) Jeri Hogarth
Let’s be clear: Carrie-Anne Moss is awesome, and Jeri Hogarth can be an interesting character, too. However, the lawyer only makes a fairly small contribution to Iron Fist (or at least, it’s first six episodes), which means she can’t be placed any higher up this list. Even if she is Trinity from The Matrix.
Fulfilling the (originally male) character’s role in the comics, Hogarth acts as the Rand family attorney and, as such, her function in the narrative is wholly to get Danny back his company. After that’s done – and not really due to her actions, rather the will of Harold Meachum – she disappears.
Still, we do find out there’s been a change in the character since the events of Jessica Jones. In that series, she was a far more ruthless woman, using the mind-controlling Kilgrave for her own ends. Seeing as that resulted in tragedy, however, it seems she’s now a slightly less prickly, more principled character.
