Golden Claw is the villain.

Possibly.

But I assume the stabby ladies are not on the side of Golden Claw, since they were very surprised for him to be here.

Maybe?

at least one of them is his relative, and he helped out by subduing a dude they were chasing. how did you even come to this conclusion?

also, colleen wing isn't chinese!

Based on the last few arcs, being related makes it more likely you're opposing each other.

Also the woman who plays Colleen Wing in the stupid Iron Fist show this arc is built on is half-Chinese, so let's not pretend for a second that Colleen Wing being Japanese actually matters.

Remind me again the why of all this effort to shutdown a no-name reporter.

I mean, if it's because of Iron Fist there's probably a bunch of other reporters looking out for the dude -- are they going to kill every one of them?

Waaaait a second. You don't suppose NSM Claw is the super genius not-Fu Manchu he is in the 616 do you? What if it turns out that, either through deduction or through spying, he found out Pete is Spidey after the whole hospital kerfuffle?

I wouldn't put it past the strip to offset the guest hero being even worse than NSM by making the villain hyper-competant...

no, it's very simple albeit dumb as heck. the three chinese women were at that dojo looking for iron fist (because they work for yellow claw and yellow claw is fighting if, which i'm kind of sad needed to be explained), peter popped in and asked them where iron fist was, and they immediately schemed to capture him. either they think he is if's friend, or else they are characters in newspaper spiderman and they want to ask him where if is.

of course, now that he is captured they will quickly discover that peter knows nothing at all about any subject.

In fact, the longer they keep Peter to try and interrogate him, the stupider they all will become. His mind is a black hole; merely being in his presence begins to drain your brainpower, like a black hole sucking away stellar material.

He is the person who knocked Peter out with a blow to the head this storyline, so chances are pointing towards Golden Claw teaming up with Spider-Man.

I donno, if I walked into Wing's dojo having never seen a picture of her and found three women with swords out as if they're sparring, I'd ask "Is one of you Colleen Wing" too.
