Origin

Commedia Dell'Morte translated The Comedy of Death are a group of assassins from Europe dressed as "stock characters" from classical opera. The group is led by Pagliacci and also consist of Mister Punch, Pantalone, La Signora and Captain Scaramouche. They claim to be Europe's greatest assassins and they come to New York City in search of one of their members named Columbina. This group competed with a mercenary known as Crime-Buster for the same contract on a Camorra mafia informant when he had kidnapped Columbina and brought her to the states. Crime-Buster is later found dead in his apartment and the Comedy of Death confront the new Power Man after he leaves the apartment of the dead mercenary. Iron Fist comes to the aid of his partner and a brief scuffle occurs. Pagliacci tells Iron Fist that he will not leave the country without his beloved Columbina before escaping from the police. El Aguila would see Danny Rand during a meeting and informed him that the Commedia Dell'Morte are quite renowned on the other side of the Atlantic and he fought them to a standstill in Grenada before he lost his mutant powers.
