Biography[]
Mercedes "Misty" Knight was once a police officer for the New York City Police Department until she was gravely injured on the job, resulting in the loss of her arm. She befriended Colleen Wing and founded a private investigation firm known as Nightwing Restorations. Studying in Eastern martial arts, Misty and Colleen took to calling themselves the Daughters of the Dragon. They were close allies with Power Man and Iron Fist, who ran their own agency, Heroes for Hire. Misty entered into a romantic relationship with Iron Fist, which ended upon his apparent death. Afterward, she became involved with a man named Tyrone King, unaware that he was actually Iron Fist's old enemy, Master Khan. Years later, Misty and Colleen reformed a new brand of Heroes for Hire. She also became a member of the all-female team of adventurers known as the Fearless Defenders.
