Ward Meachum is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. In his original appearances in comics, he is depicted as the brother of Harold Meachum and the uncle of Joy Meachum. In the Iron Fist TV series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ward is portrayed by Tom Pelphrey and is depicted as the son of Harold and the brother of Joy.
Ward Meachum first appeared in Marvel Premiere #19 and was created by Doug Moench and Larry Hama.
Ward Meachum is the brother of Rand-Meachum Inc.'s CEO Harold Meachum. After Iron Fist was blamed for the death of Harold (who was killed by a ninja sent by Master Khan), Ward and his niece Joy Meachum hired villains to dispose of Iron Fist.
Ward Meachum first hired Steel Serpent to help get revenge on Iron Fist. Due to Ward having criminal connections, Steel Serpent stated to Ward that he couldn't work for him. After beating up Ward's bodyguards and leaving Ward alive, Steel Serpent states that his debt to Joy is paid and that he will take revenge on Iron Fist on his own.
Ward Meachum began to collaborate with Master Khan when Ward tried to steal the Power Gem of Quon from Danny Rand. Master Khan sent his minion Ferocia to help Ward. Then Ward Meachum enlisted Shades and Comanche, giving Shades a special laser-shooting visor and Comanche a set of trick arrows to take down Power Man and Iron Fist. Upon obtaining the Power Gem of Qon, Ward and his men placed the Power Gem on a pedestal which they used to bring Master Khan back to Earth. Master Khan then told Ward about the Power Gem of Quon taking away Shou-Lao's powers from Iron Fist, which would give his dragons the power to kill Iron Fist. Master Khan is forced to fight Iron Fist when the Heroes for Hire attack. While Iron Fist was able to destroy the Power Gem of Quon to send Master Khan back to K'un-L'un, Ward and his men were arrested after the battle.
