6	''Daughters of the Dragon'' was a 2006 limited series by Creator/MarvelComics, starring the bounty hunters Misty Knight and Colleen Wing.
7
8	A number of C-list villains break into the house of Ricadonna, a rich woman, and steal the contents of her safe. Knight and Wing go after the villains, but find out that some other villains are seeking and killing them. That was arranged by Ricadonna herself, as the villains also stole a chip (ignoring its real value), and she wants to retrieve it at all costs. She finally got it from Misty Knight, cutting her bionic arm with an adamantium blade in the process.
9
10	Tony Stark gave her a new bionic arm, and they go after Ricadonna. The chip contains a virus that may destroy any financial or security software, and will sell it to the best buyer. With the aid of Iron Fist, they cancel the sale and detain her.
11
12	A new series written by Jed Mackay began in 2018.

16	----
17	!!''Daughters of The Dragon'' contains examples of the following tropes:
18
19	* AchillesInHisTent: Misty and Colleen need help from the Punisher, but why would he lend them any weapon? Because they are cute? Forget it. Because they are going after a number of criminals, gangsters, ninjas and some costumed weirdos? Hm. That's something else. He may even help himself, if it wasn't something [[ItsPersonal personal]].
20	* BigGood: Tony Stark. He built Misty Knight's bionic arm, has no problem to provide a new one, provides them with other stuff they may need, and may even help as Iron Man if so required.
21	* BookEnds: The story begins with Misty Knight and Colleen Wing detaining the fugitive Rhino, and Collen destroys Misty's car in the process. It ends the same way.
22	* CarFu: Colleen Wing stopped Rhino with Misty's car. Two times. Misty is '''not''' pleased.
23	* CombatPragmatist: A master ninja told Colleen Wing that a warrior will use anything at his disposal to win. She opened her clothes, revealed her boobs, and attacked him in the brief moment he got DistractedByTheSexy.
24	* ItsPersonal: Ricadonna cut off Misty Knight's bionic arm. This is not a fight for Iron Man or Punisher. Only her friends, Colleen and Iron Fist, may help. And when they get to Ricadonna, only Misty can defeat her.
25	* LovelyAngels: Misty and Colleen. They're even the page image.
26	* MsFanservice: Misty and Ricadonna, to the point that we saw them both right after taking a shower.
27	* PricelessMingVase: What's the point of detailing how much does Misty loves her new car? That we crack some jokes when Colleen destroys it, of course.
28	* PunchClockVillain: Loads and loads. Including the Mad Juggler, who fought against the [[ComicBook/Champions1975 Champions]] one... several times!
29	* SpiritualSuccessor: ''ComicBook/HeroesForHire'' is a successor of this limited series, starred by Misty Knight and Colleen Wing. Stark, Humbug, Orka, Otis and Ricadonna, have all appeared there as well.
30	* SpyCatsuit: Colleen Wing used one of those, but contrary to tradition, it's pure white.
31	* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Colleen Wing is not a fan of villains talking during fights.
32	-->Hey, shut it, this isn't an audition for a Shaw Brothers movie. Fight or surrender, just pick one and let's go!
33	* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Ricadonna thought that she could play this on Misty Knight, and said that she had committed no crime, so she can't do anything to her. She was mistaken: selling intelligence to terrorists ''is'' a crime.
