History

The Fist is an elite warrior clan created centuries ago as the legendary rival to the Hand ninja cult. After the Hand came under the control of a new leader, the bloodthirsty vigilante Punisher, Daredevil and Elektra founded it anew.[1] Starting with the recruitment of mercenaries and allies such as superhero psychologist and therapist Doc Sasquatch, former Daredevil mentor Stick, and police detective Cole North, the brunt of the Fist's muscle was composed of supervillains liberated from the Myrmidon metahuman prison.[2] After months of training and work with Doctor Samson, the Fist faced the Hand, losing the battle but escaping with a magical talisman that could be used to destroy them for good.[3] However, before this final victory could be achieved, a coordinated attack by The Hand (who revealed that Stick had been dead for months and replaced with an undead imposter) and the wealthy Stromwyn family (who bombed the Fist's stronghold with a chemical called Re-Cid that generated murderous rage in anyone who breathes it) destroyed the Fist's entire leadership structure.[4] The Avengers and Spider-Man arrived soon afterwards, arresting Elektra and most of the supervillains.[5]
