The Jade Cobras[1] are a notorious gang who extorts businesses in Chinatown.
History[]
The Jade Cobras, led by Eyepatch, became one of Chinatown's more notorious gangs and caught the notice of the FBI.[2] Special Agent Michael Wu, as part of an assignment, infiltrated the gang and became one of its soldiers, dubbed "Shades" after his frequent use of sunglasses.[3] During Chinese New Year, they paid a visit to Mr. Chen's Antiquities Shop. The gang learned Mr. Chen couldn't pay them due to a lack of business. Eyepatch had his men start destroying property to prove their "services" were needed. Chen's daughter Jodi intervened and promised to have the money in two hours. Eyepatch sent Goatee and Shades to tail her and make sure she made good on her word. Jodi took The Dragon's Eyes and accidentally released Gu Mo who then possessed Chen. Scar was tossed out the store. Eyepatch ran for it but Gu Mo extracted his and Scar's bones. A police officer found them and took them to Bellevue Hospital who in turn summoned the Extreme Ghostbusters. With time run out, Goatee and Shades cornered Jodi in an alley. Shades pulled his gun on Goatee but Jodi activated the Eyes and knocked Shades out with a trash can lid. She then twisted Goatee up in his chains and ran away. Goatee was taken underground to Gu Mo, who took his bones. The Jade Cobras and all other victims were restored to normal when Gu Mo was captured. Goatee made his way to the surface and lunged himself at Wu. Wu got him in an arm lock and had an officer arrest him.
