They first appeared as a team in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #32 (January 1977) [1] in a story titled Daughters of the Dragon written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Marshall Rogers.

In the context of the story, the name comes from an attempted slight from Iron Fist foe Davos, the Steel Serpent, said in a tongue-in-cheek way while he flees from the two heroines.

Misty Knight and Colleen Wing were featured in the Luke Cage and Iron Fist Netflix series, which take place in a shared universe.

The success of the duo led Marvel to launch a new Daughters of the Dragon comic in 2018, by Jed MacKay and Travel Foreman.
