Captain Scaramouche is a sword wielding member of Commedia Dell’Morte translated the Comedy of Death which are a group of assassins from Europe dressed as “stock characters” from classical opera. The group is led by Pagliacci and also consist of Scaramouche, Mister Punch, La Signora and Pantalone. 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. Power Man hits Scaramouche with a chi punch and knocks the assassin into a parked car. Scaramouche and the rest of Commedia Dell’Morte escape before the police arrive.
