Notes
- 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. She was also involved in the same government program (Weapon X) as Wolverine, giving her adamantium claws that come out of her fingers. Although she is portrayed as a villain in the film, her actual orientation is unclear because she is under the effects of mind control. (Also unclear is her origin as there is next to nothing known about this incarnation of the character.) Nevertheless Wolverine supposedly kills her in a fight by a fluid adamantium injection; as she possessed a healing factor of her own, his claws could not do the job, and with her own claws coming from her nails, Lady Deathstrike had four extra weapons that she could use against him. Despite the habit of reverting comic character's deaths, her survival in the movie continuity seemed unlikely. The fight takes place in the laboratory where Wolverine underwent his own transformation. However, she surprisingly appears as a boss in the recent X-Men game based on the 3rd 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. She possibly drowned however when the damn broke.
Lady Deathstrike in X-Men The Official Game
- In X-Men: The Official Game it is revealed that Deathstrike had survived the overdose, and proceeds to battle Wolverine two times in the game. It is also revealed that Deathstrike 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 once again leaves the impression of Deathstrike's death, as she is crushed under rubble, but as we seen before, she is not so easily disposed off.
