The team was first brought together by Daredevil to take down the Punisher but ended-up doing various other missions together, with the Punisher even helping them out from afar. The team fought against Ulik and later an army of interplanetary crooks in the Maximum Security crossover. The band of heroes started to become a real team when the superhero Moon Knight funded them and provided a headquarters. However, not long after they established themselves as a team, their headquarters was destroyed in a fight against Shang-Chi's mortal enemy Zaran and his ninjas. Although the team defeated their adversaries, they soon stopped seeing the potential of working together and quietly disbanded. The team did however team up once more to face another threat. That was the last time they where together. The "team" included Black Widow, Dagger, Cloak, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Moon Knight, the Punisher, Shang-Chi and even Ghost Rider for some time.

MONITOR'S NOTES: Defenders or Marvel Knights?[]
Try as I might I will not understand why Marvel decided to call the Netflix Marvel series The Defenders when it should have been called Heroes for Hire or Marvel Knights. These four characters fit better with the Heroes for hire or Marvel Knights since most characters from the comic books where under this headline.
