The Hand


The Hand is an organization of classically-trained ninjas, who are feared throughout the Far East. They are also familiar with modern weaponry, although they tend not to use it. With the exception of the group led by Matsu'o Tsurayaba and working with Fenris to secure the carbonadium synthesizer for Omega Red, all of the Hand's genin (assassins) appear to be Asian and wear traditional ninja costumes. The Hand is led by a number of jonin (masters), to whom loyalty and life are pledged. The Hand has come into contact with Wolverine many times, all to their regret. They also used their arcane knowledge to merge Kwannon and Psylocke (with Spiral's help). The Hand strives for power, and will use political maneuvering as well as subtle and deadly force to achieve it. The genin also have the ability to turn their bodies to mist when they are killed. Former Group Names: None. Subgroups include Dawn of the White Light death cult
