Deal with Stokes
"Salvador and his brothers have agreed to let us come in on the ground floor. We can own this whole goddamn city."

- Pistol Pete to Mama Mabel

Pistol Pete had taken Cornell Stokes to an audition before stopping off at Spanish-Harlem to meet with Salvador Colon, leader of Colon Crime Family. Pete conspired with Colon to involve the Stokes Crime Family in drug buisness without Mabel's knowledge. When Mabel found out about the conspiracy, she ordered Cornell to kill his uncle.

Weapons Deal
Many years later, Cottonmouth met with Domingo Colon, Salvador's brother and current leader of Colon Crime Family, in Harlem's Paradise to talk about a newly formed partnership. Colon and Stokes discussed a deal about weapons designed by Hammer Industries. While they talking, Colon's and Stokes' men met at the junkyard to complete the deal. However, Shameek Smith, Dante Chapman and Chico Diaz attacked them, killed all gangsters at the junkyard and stole money. At next day, Colon contacted with Stokes. Stokes claimed that it wasn't an inside job because his men was killed too. However, Colon hang up on.

Against Stokes
"Better get that Spanish dictionary. Domingo Colon just declared war on us."

- Cottonmouth

Having heard about incident at Crispus Attucks Complex, Colon and his men visited Cottonmouth inside Harlem's Paradise. Upon arriving, they were threatened by Zip. Cottonmouth however accused Colon of being the one who had organized the attacks on his own safe houses, which had cost Cottonmouth thousands of dollars, although just firmly Colon denied any involvement in this.

Colon explained that if his own people had attacked Cottonmouth's organization, then Cottonmouth himself would have likely been killed as a result. Going into his jacket, Colon accused Cottonmouth of breaking his word, questioning what Diamondback would think of these recent actions. Colon and Stokes then looked at each other for a while before Colon then threatened him in Spanish and walked out of Harlem's Paradise, with Cottonmouth knowing they were now at war.

Raid of Colon's Gym
With information from Dave Griffith, Luke Cage learned that center of Colon's activity located in Colon's Gym. Cage went to gym to speak to Colon. Colon ordered his people to kill Cage but bullets bounced off Cage's unbreakable skin, causing them to ricochet across the gym, forcing Colon to dive into his office and take cover underneath his desk. Cage then easily dispatching all of Colon's remaining bodyguards, even throwing one man through the window of Colon's office. Cage then calmly walked into Colon's office and confronted the terrified Colon who backed into the corner out of fear. He demanded to know where Hammer Industries weapons is and threatened him. Colon informed Cage that the guns were downstairs and let him take them.

Massacre at Colon's Gym
Colon focused on rebuilding the damage done to Colon's Gym when he was interrupted by the arrival of Mariah Dillard. Dillard told Colon that she intended to ensure that Cottonmouth's criminal empire continued, noting that she needed Colon's help to ensure that this happened, as well as those who Cottonmouth had done business with before his death. Although Colon noted that not everybody who worked with him had liked Cottonmouth, he agreed that he had been able to get the work done without much needless violence.

When Dillard insisted that he bring together the criminal bosses, Colon promised to get into contact with Jacques Alef, Neville Barnwell, Juan Carlos Castro and Peter Hong, noting that it would take him a few days to arrange the meeting, although Dillard insisted that the meeting had to take place that night in the gym before walking out and leaving Colon behind.

As requested, Colon gathered the criminal bosses and hosted them inside Colon's Gym. Dillard informed the group that now that Cottonmouth is dead she would now be making a few changes to how his entire criminal empire would be run for the next few years. Before she finished, Diamondback came to the gym and executed all crime leaders and left Colon alive.

Attack on Diamondback
"We got the drugs. We got that money. But with the guns, we can control everything. Here, the islands, further south. We'd be unstoppable." "So what are you saying?" "We take him out. We go after what's ours."

- Domingo Colon and Ricardo

Calling a new meeting with Ernesto and Ricardo, Colon made clear that this is the perfect time to take over as the leaders of the criminal underworld now dead. Noting he witnessed the massacre, Colon claimed that with their guns, they would be unstoppable and agreed to kill Diamondback.

Arriving inside Diamondback's Warehouse Hideout, Colon brought Ernesto, Ricardo and several of his men. Diamondback drew his guns as the two enemy crews began shooting at each other. At the gunfight, Ernesto and several gangsters from both sides was shot and killed. However, Diamondback wear his battlesuit and used him to brutally kill all Colon members. Domingo was mortally wounded and later was found by Luke Cage. Colon described it as something not even Cage could stop before Colon then died from his injuries.

Pushed Out
"He pushed the Colon brothers out the coke biz once Domingo died."

- Shades to Mariah Dillard

With Domingo had died, Colon brothers was too weak to hold down in drug buisness. Arturo Rey III took an advantage and pushed them out from buiness and took out all their assets.
