Crane Mother is a fictional character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics.
Crane Mother was the ruler ofK'un-Zi, one of the Legendary Cities of Heaven. In 1933, a meeting took place with all seven lords where she accused the current bearer of theIron Fist (Orson Randall), of sullying tradition because he refused to participate in the Tournament of the Heavenly Cities. In each city, an immortal weapon, such as the Iron Fist, fights for his city in the tournament. The battles in the tournament decide the order of the cities within the heavenly timeline. All council members exceptLord Tuan, the leader of K'un-Lun, agreed that Randall should face punishment. The Immortal Weapons would confront Randall and he ended up killingDavos, the Immortal Weapon of Ku'n-Zi. Crane Mother develops a vendetta against him for the death of her champion and eventually grants augmented strength to theSteel Serpent, which he uses to beat Randall to death decades later.[1][2][3][4]
The Crane Mother is alluded to in theMarvel Cinematic Universe seriesIron Fist as the namesake of a subversive organization in K'un-L'un called the Order of the Crane Mother.[5]
