History: Misty Knight was the best marksman
in her class at the New York police academy, and graduated
at the top of her class. She became a patrolwoman for
New York's Twelfth Precinct. Her friendship with Colleen
Wing began when she saved Wing from criminal gunfire in
the course of duty. Later, she saw terrorists throw a
bomb into a bank. She seized the bomb, but before she
could throw it into a safe place, it exploded. Her right
arm had to be amputated, and it was replaced with a bionic
steel arm designed at Stark International. Due to her
injury, Knight had to retire from active duty as a policewoman,
and rather than accept a desk job with the police department,
she resigned.
Knight and Wing formed a partnership as private
investigators and called their firm Nightwing Restorations,
Ltd. Due to Wing's samurai-style training and both partners'
expertise in the Oriental martial arts; they have been
dubbed "the Daughters of the Dragon." Knight
and Wing are frequent allies of Iron
Fist and Power Man,
and Knight has had a long romantic relationship with Iron
Fist.
Height: 5 ft. 9 in. Weight: 136 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Black
Strength Level: Misty Knight possesses
the normal human strength of a woman of her age, height,
and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. Her
bionic right arm possesses superhuman strength, which
she can use to create a vise-like grip. However, since
the rest of her body has not been bionically altered,
she cannot use her bionic right arm to lift heavier weights
than she could when she had her natural right arm. (Her
back, shoulders, and legs could not support the strain
of lifting such weights.)
Known Superhuman Powers: None, aside from
the superhuman strength of her bionic right arm.
Abilities: Misty Knight is a superb detective,
an excellent marksman, a good athlete, and a fine hand-to-hand
combatant, with considerable knowledge of the martial
arts.
