Misty Knight (Simone Missick) has a new look. An extra-durable one.

Yup, this daughter of the dragon has finally gotten the upgrade that allows her to match her comic-book counterpart: She now wields a prosthetic bionic arm — spoiler alert! — to replace the one the Hand villain Bakuto (Ramón Rodríguez) sliced off in Marvel’s The Defenders. And for those who need a refresher, at the end of the team-up series, Misty wound up recovering in a hospital owned by Danny Rand (Finn Jones) and watched over by Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick).


Clearly, she’s back in action by the time she appears in Luke Cage season 2 — and below, EW has the exclusive first look at the NYPD detective sporting her high-tech enhancement alongside Luke (Mike Colter) and his unbreakable skin:

Marvel, as usual, is keeping details of how and when Misty gets her bionic arm under wraps, but in the comics, Misty’s bionic arm was designed by Tony Stark and Stark Industries after she lost the limb in a bombing. The arm grants her superhuman strength and a slew of other abilities involving energy blasts and gravity fields and even a nifty ability to control robots.

Took them long enough

 

[spindashing]

YES

 

[strafer]

Luke, I'm already a demon.

 

[Shaanyboi]

YAY

 

[Volimar]

Don't they say how she's gonna get her new arm at the end of Defenders?

 

[xKilltheMx]

lol they went the cheap route with the arm but I dont blame them.
Excited for season 2.

 

[Einchy]

Hey, that actually looks really cool.

 

[Toa TAK]

Looks like she's armed to the teeth.

Spoiler

I mean the gun.

 

[Peanut0423]

SIMONE THE GODDESS

 

[Father_Brain]

I'm surprised she's not wearing an ordinary prosthetic. Seems out of place in the Grounded and Realistic Netflix Marvel Universe

 

[richiek]

Misty and Bucky should have an arm wrestling match.

 

[Caspel]

I'm down! Looks great.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Uh, The Defenders was pretty bloody explicit....

 

[caliph95]

Uh, The Defenders was pretty bloody explicit....

I think they meant after that

 

[mrjohill]

Don't they say how she's gonna get her new arm at the end of Defenders?

I think Colleen says that the hospital was working on some experiments or something because it's owned by danny

Netflix ain't got time for that. Maybe some enhanced strength. It will be an advanced prosthetic provided by Rand Enterprises. At most they will have a few scenes with her experiencing phantom limb syndrome. That's it.

She can only use it once per episode

 

[Dalek]

lol

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Maybe we can get a Robert Downey Jr. cameo? That would be cool. Also I learned in the comics the arm can shoot beams and can control robots, but I think in this it will only be punching through stuff, breaking locks, and lifting people.

Took them long enough

I criticize the pacing of the Netflix shows as much as the next person, but having her get her hand cut off and replaced in the first season of LC would've been pretty ridiculous, that's one of the few plot points paced fairly well all things considered.

 

[Anung]

Cancel Iron Fist and give me a Misty Knight/Coleen Wing show please.

 

[batman2million]

Quality of these Marvel Netflix series are really deteriorating. I think they need to have shorter seasons and a more focused narratives.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Phil's arm > Misty's arm.

 

[kunonabi]

Looks pretty good actually.

What has this got to do with Misty's new arm?

 

[Slayven]

Phil's arm > Misty's arm.

Phil only has a forearm

 

[Not]

I'd rather watch this

Why didn't this happen

Is this Scott Buck's fault, too?

 

[Mesoian]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

That didn't help Defenders

IF set up Wing-Rand.

 

[Big Blue]

I'd rather see that than CGI. I think it looks good.

No one wants to see this Misty with Danny. Like I can't even imagine her falling for this version of him.

 

[SargerusBR]

METAL ARM FUCK YEAH BOIS

 

[Shaanyboi]

No one wants to see this Misty with Danny? Like I can't even imagine her falling for this version of him.

They set up such an unlikable version of Danny. This page seems like a complete impossibility at this point.

 

[spyroflame0487]

It looks great, although a bit "boring" i'd say. Danny (or Tony, if maybe his company is also partially funding it?) should convince her to get it painted gold later in the season.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

I'm c̶u̶m̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ so excited.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Arms itself looks good, and not especially far fetched in terms of technology. The hand could use some post effects to look less like a glove.

 

[Emwitus]

Freaking spoilers

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Cool.

Now just make an entire season worth of watchable shit, instead of just one half.

 

[The Elite]

Freaking spoilers

Thanos is in this too?

 

[Brazil]

Easily the worst character in the entire Marvel Netflix mess.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Easily the worst character in the entire Marvel Netflix mess.

Misty?

Nah.

 

[Rhaknar]

I get that they are going with a real life prosthetic look (I guess?) but I wanted my winter soldier-style arm

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Easily the worst character in the entire Marvel Netflix mess.

Misty? Danny, Luke and Matt are all tied just above Karen and Claire.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Easily the worst character in the entire Marvel Netflix mess.

Pretty sure the thread title said Misty not Danny.

I'm blaming the entire Netflix MCU for failing to give us this. Colleen and Danny are boring and Danny is terrible.

Easily the worst character in the entire Marvel Netflix mess.

Karen, Colleen, IF Claire, Danny, and the entire Hand would have a word with you.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

That woman... my goodness.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Easily the worst character in the entire Marvel Netflix mess.

What? Explain yourself.
