Lady Deathstrike Reviews

She could have just been a one-off character, having been introduced in an issue of Daredevil and seemingly forgotten afterward. Instead though, Yuriko Oyama would go on to become one of the most formidable threats the X-Men and Wolverine would face.

The daughter of the man who invented the process of bonding adamantium to human bones, Lady Deathstrike targeted Wolverine, perceiving him as someone who had stolen her father's work and must pay for his actions. After her first defeat, she willingly allowed her body to be horribly transformed, becoming a powerful cyborg in the process, and gaining her own adamantium-laced skeleton and claws to battle Wolverine with.

Lady Deathstrike's loyalties have shifted through the years, as she's worked with groups like the Reavers, the Sisterhood of Mutants and even a brief stint with the Thunderbolts during the superhuman Civil War - along with hooking up with Reverend William Stryker in a romantic pairing of the twisted. The kind of enemy who has the will and ability to slice your legs off in battle (as poor Sunfire learned), Deathstrike continues to plague the X-Men and their allies time and again.
