Class:

Affiliations: Partner of Misty Knight (Daughters of the Dragon), girlfriend of Robert Diamond (Sons of the Tiger) Scale of Operations: New York City Occupation: Private investigator (Nightwing Restorations, Ltd.) Powers: None. Wing wields a katana, a traditional Japanese samurai long sword, and is proficient with other traditional samurai weapons, such as the daikyu (long bow). History: Colleen Wing is the daughter of Lee Wing, a professor of Oriental studies at New York's Columbia University and a Japanese woman whose name has not been revealed. (Despite their last name, Professor Wing and, to a lesser extent, Colleen look primarily Caucasian. Both have mixed racial backgrounds.) Colleen's mother's ancestors were samurai (warriors) and daimyo (feudal lords). Colleen's late maternal grandfather, Kenji Ozawa, was the head of Japan's secret service, and has been succeeded in that position by his brother. Colleen grew up in the mountains of northern Honshu in Japan, where she was raised by Kenji Ozawa. Colleen's mother is known to have been killed, but the time and circumstances have not been revealed. None of Kenji Ozawa's children survived World War II except Colleen's mother, who bore no children other than Colleen. |
Colleen was trained in the warrior arts of the samurai, in which she became superbly skilled. Then, she made her home in New York City where her father lived. Caught in the midst of a gun battle on Manhattan's West Side, she was saved from being murdered by police officer, Misty Knight. They became good friends. Later, when Knight's right arm was lost due to a terrorist's bomb, Wing encouraged Knight to rise above her depression and return to an active role in life. Knight's amputated arm was given a bionic replacement. When Knight left the NYPD, she and Colleen teamed up to form Nightwing Restorations, Ltd.
Colleen is currently romantically involved with Robert Diamond, one of the Sons of the Tiger. She and Knight are good friends with Luke Cage (Power Man) and Daniel Rand (Iron Fist).
Nightwing Restorations, Ltd. remains fairly successful, specializing in missing persons cases. The duo operate primarily out of New York City and have occasionally cooperated on cases with Heroes for Hire, Inc., when it was run by Power Man and Iron Fist. They have continued to team up with Power Man and Iron Fist when necessary, and most recently aided their new Heroes for Hire when it was funded by Oracle, Inc.
Due to Wing's samurai-style training and both partners' expertise in the Oriental martial arts, they have been dubbed "the Daughters of the Dragon".
