La Signora is a 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 La Signora, Mister Punch, Pantalone and Captain Scaramouche. La Signora is married to Pantalone and as beautiful as she is, she is also quite vain and socially striving. 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. La Signora draws blood from Iron Fist with her bladed fan before getting knocked down by his palm strike to her stomach. La Signora and the rest of Commedia Dell’Morte escape before the police arrive. Â
