Montenegro
Context
Montenegro is a minor, obscure foe of Luke Cage and Daniel Rand. He first appeared in 1981, but he already felt dated back then. Thus he made very few appearances, though there was a nostalgia cameo in 2016.
And yet he’s genuinely skilled, and can be well-armed.

Powers and Abilities
Montenegro is a skilled mercenary specializing in various mountaineering based weaponry. He is a master climber and extremely acrobatic.
The speciality weapons (such as his very powerful piton gun, or his ice-shooting Alpine gun) were only seen during his first appearance. In later appearances he used ordinary firearms.
History
Montenegro hails from the Black Mountains (implicitly the Swiss Alps). In 1981, he tried to steal a quarter containing “prototype microcircuitry (which) dampens all electrical current around it”. He held off Power Man and Iron Fist until the authorities arrived. Fearing aerial pursuit would soon follow, he hastily departed.
in 1982, he took hostages in the US. His goal was to put pressure on an European tycoon who had been unwittingly cutting into Montenegro’s income. The criminal once again ran into Iron Fist and Power Man. The eventually freed the hostage, but Montenegro escaped.
In 2017, Montenegro was part of a tactical crew assembled by Piranha Jones. It is possible that he was killed in an explosion arranged by Tombstone to take out his rivals.
