From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

With The Defenders, Marvel’s various Netflix series all came together, Daredevil, Jessica Jone, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist finally sharing the same screen.

Of course, many of the secondary characters from those shows also appeared, including Karen Page, Claire Temple, Trish Walker, Coleen Wing, and Jeri Hogarth.

One main player was Misty Knight, who debuted in Luke Cage last year. WARNING: Spoilers for The Defenders ahead.

Come The Defenders’ finale, Misty was helping the heroes defeat the hand, eventually losing an arm after fighting Bakuto, in turn saving Colleen and Claire.

During the very final moments, Misty is shown in hospital, Colleen revealing Danny Rand has arranged a bionic arm to be created for her.

With the second season of Luke Cage currently filming — Lucy Liu directing the premiere — Misty actress Simone Missick posted an official image from the series to Twitter. Unsurprisingly, the character now has her robotic arm.

In the comic books, Misty was seriously injured while preventing a bomb attack, leading to her losing her right arm. Tony Stark — AKA Iron Man — was the one to create a bionic arm for her.

Season two of Luke Cage still doesn’t have a release date but is expected to reach Netflix next year following the second season of Jessica Jones.
