Warning : SPOILERS before forThe shielder
-
Heroes for Hirewasn’t the only future plot line hinted at inMarvel ’s The Defenders . Luke CageandIron Fistfamously joined up in the Marvel Comics for a few run , and got to fight side - by - side on screen as part of the titular squad , but theNetflixshow also established the possibility of the Daughters of the Dragon to succeeding battle together .
Colleen Wing(Jessica Henwick ) andMisty Knight(Simone Missick ) may only just be meeting for the first time inThe Defenders , but in the comics they are the honorable of friends . The twosome first appeared in first look inMarvel Team - Up#64 ( December 1977 ) , teaming up with Spider - Man to take down Davos ( a.ka . Silver Serpent ) but enjoy their first solo field day as a team inDeadly Hands of Kung Fu#32 ( January 1977 ) . It was down to Davos - who was played by Sacha Dhawan inIron Fistseason 1 - that the twosome get their daughter of the Dragon name , one he made up to mock them .
Just like in the boob tube shows , Colleen and Misty played supporting roles not just in their own short run but in thePower Man and Iron Fistseries , Marvel Comics Presents#42 ( January 1990 ) , # 80 ( April 1991 ) , and # 149 ( March 1994 ) as well as the 2006Heroes for Hireseries . The pair ran a detective authority call Knightwing Restorations Ltd. , which Misty bulge after pass on the police effect . She had lost her right branch during a terrorist approach , when a bomb blend off in her bridge player , and adjudicate to become a P.I. or else of sit behind a desk for the rest of her career . The former cop also got a great bionic arm from Tony Stark , giving her super strength that worked a charm when investigating case got a little rough .
Of naturally , it ’s a routine different in the TV show as Misty and Iron Fist ( Finn Jones ) are n’t in a relationship , and she ’s still an NYPD detective who has both arms intact . She and Colleen fulfil for the first time just over mid - way through the new series , when the enjoy single of the superheroes are rounded up at her constabulary place . The two barely have prison term to bond , thanks tothe Hand ’s villainous architectural plan to enamor Iron Fistand get hold " the substance " of immortality , but later on , in the final episode , their friendship is forge in battle as they take on Bakuto ( Ramón Rodríguez ) .
Having allowed the Defenders to extend out their program to stop the Hand , and knowing the bomb is about to blow the building their in up , Misty rushes in to get hold Colleen and Claire Temple ( Rosario Dawson ) fighting the Hand leader and two collaborator . After take down the two spares , Misty ends up getting her subdivision chopped off by Bakutoafter jumping in the way of his blades to protect the nurse . Colleen then takes his head off and they rush the cop out to safety before the construction blows . If that did n’t show they were becoming friends , Misty waking up in her sick bed , one weapon less , to see Colleen waiting by her side for certain did .
Colleen reassures the bruise tec that she can gestate " state - of - the - art ' treatment , as the readiness is owned by Danny . Missick has been confirm to seem inIron Fistseason 2 , which could see the Daughters of the Dragon team up properly and finally give Knighting Restoration Ltd. for business sector . Given thatIron Fistis , thus far , the least well - get of all the solo Marvel Netflix shows , incorporating the Daughters of the Dragon into a solid support role could be a smart way to shore up the serial and appeal to fans who struggled to get invested in Danny ’s story . Of naturally , there are mickle of other storyline that could be lift from the source material too .
Misty once worked as a paralegal for Nelson and Murdock - so maybe she could end up being a P.I at Foggy ’s new house - and she and Colleen also used the Daughters of the Dragon title to set up a bail bondman business . There ’s also aShadowlandstoryline that Knight featured in which consider her intervene in Daredevil ’s plan to work Hell ’s Kitchen as the leader of the Hand . In that same series , Daredevil let out to Colleen that her mother run a faction of the deplorable organization , made up of swordsman and called The Nail , which her girl eventually takes leading of .
In thatShadowlandseries the Daughters of the Dragon work together with the Heroes for Hire which could mean that , like the Marvel Comics , we can have a bun in the oven more crossover storyline not just inIron Fistbut alsoLuke Cage , Daredevil , Jessica Jonesand evenThe Punisher , which is gestate to premier on Netflix in November .
Or , if Netflix is experience generous , asolo girl of the Dragon serieswould be perfectly satisfactory too .
