"Iron Fist!"
Officer Misty Knight, who shared a mutual attraction with Iron Fist, raised her pistol and repeatedly pulled the trigger at Martin Lee.
As an outstanding graduate of the New York City Police Academy and an excellent officer who had spent years fighting gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, Misty was naturally a good shot. In fact, her marksmanship ranked among the best in the entire New York police force.
But however good her aim was, it was useless now. An ordinary police pistol could not even penetrate the negative energy barrier Martin Lee routinely maintained over his body.
Just before the bullets touched Martin, they hung suspended around him as though they had sunk into a mire. Then they lost all momentum and clattered to the ground.
Just as Martin turned his attention to Misty Knight, Luke Cage sprang out from another direction and lunged at him.
Martin raised a hand and conjured a black shield to block Luke's fist. Then the Negative Energy Shield dissolved on its own, turning into a stream of black mist that slipped into Luke Cage's body.
His other hand did not remain idle, either. He pointed his fingers like a gun at Misty Knight, who was changing magazines, and fired negative energy at her in the form of a bullet.
According to Kraft's intelligence, although Luke Cage and Misty Knight had both suffered tragic experiences, their psychological scars were not as deep as Iron Fist's or Jessica Jones's. So Martin chose despair, which Kraft had dubbed "slacker energy."
After acquiring his new abilities, Martin Lee had naturally conducted a series of tests. Combined with the practical experience he had gained during his attacks on Hell's Kitchen, he had now more or less figured out the effects of the various negative emotions.
