Biography[]
Aisha Axton was the owner of a small sports memorabilia store in Harlem. The store was developed in honor of Aisha's father, former professional baseball player, Eddie Axton. When crime boss Cornell Stokes sent his thugs out to rough up the neighborhood, several of them trashed Aisha's shop. A henchman named Zip stole Eddie Axton's championship ring.
Aisha expressed her misery over the event to Luke Cage, who promised to get the ring back. Aisha blamed Stokes for her family's troubles and found the moment to avenge herself at the funeral of Henry "Pop" Hunter. She had a handgun in her purse, which she intended on using to murder Stokes, until Luke sat next to her, and assured her that he took care of the issue. He grabbed Aisha's handbag, and crushed the gun so that she could not engaged in any foolish endeavors.
