Am I the son of a panda? The son of a goose? A student? A teacher? Turns out... I'm all of them. I am the Dragon Warrior...

—Po Ping

Master Xiao Po Ping (born Li Lotus) is the main protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda series. He appeared in the 145th episode of Death Battle, Iron Fist VS Po, where he fought against Iron Fist from Marvel Comics.

History

Xiao Po Ping was born as "Lotus" in a remote farming village populated entirely by pandas. There, Lotus grew up happily with his father, Li Shan, and mother, until one day, the village was attacked by the evil, power-hungry peacock Lord Shen, who sought to avert a prophecy by eliminating any threat to his future rule. As a last resort to protect her child, Lotus's mother hid him in a crate of radishes, which would be eventually shipped far away to the Valley of Peace, where the owner of a noodle shop, Mr. Ping, found the baby panda and took him in, giving him the name "Po" and raising him as his own son.

While Po lived a relatively peaceful life since, he developed a fascination with kung fu and hoped of one day becoming a kung fu legend alongside his heroes, the Furious Five. After many failed attempts to get inside a tournament which would determine which of the Furious Five will become the Dragon Warrior, one who would surpass all in the martial arts, he finally got in as Master Oogway took this as a sign that the universe had brought them all the Dragon Warrior. Although he was looked down upon at first, after receiving training from the Furious Five and Master Shifu, Po would go on to protect the Valley and beyond from dangerous forces, finally accomplishing his dream of becoming a kung fu master. Through determination and creativity, Po would not only prove himself worthy, he would surpass all expectations, becoming a fighter truly deserving of the title of the Dragon Warrior.
