Who is Montenegro?

Montenegro is the mountaineering villain who comes into conflict with Power Man and Iron Fist when he discovers that Luke Cage came into possession of a valuable coin that was stolen from him. A fierce battle takes place between Montenegro and the Heroes for Hire outside a building ledge several stories above the ground. Iron Fist prevents Montenegro from blasting Luke Cage with his alpine gun when he strikes his hand with a piece of glass. Cage would grab the grappling hook attached to Montenegro while he was distracted and starts to spin him around. Montenegro cuts the rope line and lands on the roof of another building. Montenegro escapes while Cage and Iron Fist are stuck on a building ledge. Complete with grappling hooks and his dreaded Alpine gun that fires ice, he can be seen scaling the highest mountain or the tallest building in search of wealth by any means possible. Creation Montenegro was created by Mary Jo Duffy and Kerry Gammill in 1981 and first appeared in Power Man and Iron Fist # 71.
