Pantalone 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 Pantalone , Mister Punch, La Signora and Captain Scaramouche. 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. Pantalone throws a number of daggers at Iron Fist but he blocks them before they can draw blood. Iron Fist would toss Pantalone into a car and set off an alarm. Pantalone and the rest of Commedia Dell’Morte escape before the police arrive.
