Marvel's Luke Cage: 44 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

34. Misty Knight

Marvel

Misty Knight has been a supporting character in most of The Defenders' comics, as well as a hero in her own right (and as part of the Daughters Of The Dragon agency). She's a bad-ass, and in the comics is an actual superhero with an augmented arm like the Winter Soldier.

In episode 10 she's shot in the arm extremely badly, which is very much foreshadowing of the bionic arm she gets in the comics thanks to Tony Stark. It doesn't come off, but the link is definitely there.

In the very last episode, Misty also appears in a red dress that looks very much like an homage to her iconic super suit from the comics. Her hair too is based on the comic look.

As revealed before the show started, Misty Knight will appear in The Defenders mini-series (probably with her fellow Dragon).
