THE THING
For Reed Richards, there was no better choice to pilot his spacecraft than former USAF pilot Benjamin J. Grimm, who also happened to be an old friend of Reed’s from college. The cosmic rays granted Ben superhuman strength. However, the downside was that his body was transformed into an oragne, rock-like substance. For a long time, Ben was the only member of the Fantastic Four who was unable to live a normal life. After being manipulated recently, Ben has gone through a change, becoming a twisted version of himself. But is the true Ben Grimm in there somewhere…?
MISTY KNIGHT
Once a New York City cop, Misty Knight was injured while attempting to prevent a bomb attack. Her right arm was amputated and rather than take a desk job, she resigned. Later, she was given a bionic arm by Tony Stark and became acquainted with several superheroes, sharing an apartment with Jean Grey and has had relationships with both Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Currently, she remains a private detective with Nightwing Restorations, run by herself and Colleen Wing.
COLLEEN WING
The half-Japanese daughter of Professor Lee Wing, Colleen is a descendant of samurai warriors and was raised and trained in the ways of the samurai by her grandfather, Kenji Ozawa, in the northern region of Japan. She shares a very strong friendship with Misty Knight and convinced her to overcome her depression after her arm was amputated. Colleen also briefly dated both Cyclops and Bob Diamond and is a close friend of Iron Fist. Currently, she remains a private detective with Nightwing Restorations, run by herself and Misty Knight.
