Deathstrike was a mutant with regenerative abilities similar to those of Wolverine. She possessed super-human strength and a healing factor. She was involved in Weapon X, the same government program that gave Wolverine his adamantium claws, although Deathstryke's claws came out of her fingers and her claws were considerably thinner than Wolverine's.

Under the effects of mind control, she was William Stryker's assistant. Yuriko was involved in the capture of Cyclops. In the laboratory at Alkali Lake where Wolverine underwent his own transformation, Wolverine seemingly killed her in a fight with a fluid adamantium injection.

Later it was revealed that Deathstryke had survived the overdose, and proceeds to battle Wolverine two more times. It is also revealed that Deathstryke was an agent of HYDRA and a student of Silver Samurai. She was sent to spy on Stryker, but instead was brainwashed into becoming his bodyguard. Deathstrike's final battle with Wolverine ended when she was crushed under rubble.

NotesEdit

Lady Deathstrike/Yuriko Oyama was portrayed by the actress Kelly Hu in the film X2: X-Men United, released in 2003. In her film incarnation, she is not portrayed as a cyborg, but as a mutant with regenerative abilities similar to those of Wolverine. Also, her alias is simply Deathstryke, as opposed to Lady Deathstrike.
Although she is portrayed as a villain in the film, her actual orientation is unclear as she was under the effects of mind control. Also unclear is her origin, as there is next to nothing known about this incarnation of the character.
She surprisingly appears as a boss in the X-Men game based on the third movie, showing that she indeed survived the lethal overdose of adamantium injected in her body. In the official novelization of the film, a reference is made to her survival in the facility in which she appeared to die in X2, immobilized from the effects of the adamantium injection but alive.

In X-Men: The Official Game it was revealed that Deathstryke had survived the overdose, and proceeds to battle Wolverine two times in the game. It is also revealed that Deathstryke was an agent of HYDRA and a student of Silver Samurai. She was sent to spy on Stryker, but instead was brainwashed into becoming his bodyguard. Deathstrike's final battle with Wolverine ended when she was crushed under rubble.
