Misty Knight

I marathon watched the Luke Cage series on Netflix last year. The series had an attractive Police Detective named Misty Knight which I wound up looking up afterwards. Misty is actually based on a comic book counterpart. She tends to guest in star in other series with more well known characters particularly members of the Marvel Team the Defenders like Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Misty did co-star in a series called Daughters of the Dragon. I read the series recently and discovered that Misty had a couple of barefoot scenes in it.
Just to clarify...Misty is the character in red. Her partner in the series Colleen Wing (the woman in white) actually has a live action counterpart in Netflix series Iron Fist as well. 
(These are from Various Issues of the Daughters of the Dragon Series)
Let's post some pictures of her Live action action actress Simone Missick as well. :-)

One area where Misty differs from her Luke Cage Live action counterpart is that she has a bionic arm in the comics (although that could change given the events of the Defenders series). Daughters of the Dragons takes place later in Misty's career and she's left the police force to become a Bounty Hunter tracking down criminals who skip bail with Colleen. She's also in a relationship with Danny Rand aka Iron Fist.

It's worth noting that one of the writers who worked on the Daughter of the Dragons series is Jimmy Palmiotti. He's a very fun writer and we've seen a lot of the characters that he has written for appear on the site such as Power Girl, Harley Quinn, and Starfire. (He usually collaborates with his wife Amanda Connors.) I think one of the reasons that we luck out with his comics so often  he tends to to depict characters in casual settings in addition to action scenes. It adds a lot of depth to his characters. He also has a great sense of humor and uses the attractiveness of female characters for comedic effects so we can find them in scantily clad attire a lot. ^_^

As a character, Misty is very cool. She's intelligent but her signature trait is that she's a badass. While her partner Colleen has the skilled Martial Arts techniques to back her up, Misty is all about Raw style. She has a lot spunk and a mean right hook. You don't want to get on her bad side.

Ok guys... that'll do it for Misty. As always though more to come soon!
