Talk:Lady Deathstrike

message: Question: I'm reading William Gibson's Neuromancer and noticed a character toward the beginning who struck me as very similar to Lady Deathstrike. The book appears to predate, if not the creation of the character, the addition of her claws and abilities. Is there any evidence the book was inspiration for the comic book character?
**Stepping Razor. As I remember, her claws work differently, being little more than small retractable blades under her fingernails. In any event I would suggest a simpler inspiration for this character would be "female wolverine".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.200.32.232 (talk) 07:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

message: *Name: Yuriko Darkwind
*Group Affiliations: The Reavers (disbanded)
*Hieght: 5'10"
*Wieght: 150 lbs.
*Sex: Female
*First Appearance: Alpha Flight #133, 1986
*Origin of powers: Cybernetice implants. Adamantium laced skeleton and claws.
**Intelligence: Above Normal (possibly greater due to artificial CPU}
**Strength: Enhanced Human (Can military press 2 tons)
**Durability: Superhuman Regenerative
**Reflexes: Enhanced Human
**Speed: Enhanced Human
**Agility: Enhanced Human
**Stamina: Superhuman
**Other powers: Lady Deathstrike is an advanced cyborg designed to be several times stronger, faster, and more agile than is humanly possible.  As she still has some biological parts that do not seem to be affected by the adamantium bonding process which would be lethal to any ordinary human, it has been speculated that she may be mutant with similar powers to Wolverine.  However, there is so little left of the original biological article that is difficult to say.  She is an expertly trained assassin; master of weapons, marksmanship, stealth, and both armed and un-armed combat.
**So I'm not very good at editing Wiki pages, but I would like to note that in Ultimate X-Men, the issue Deathstrike gets her neck snapped is in Issue #65, Part 5 of Magnetic North. HPDDJ (talk) 02:10, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Detailed Description

message: My edit mentioning that Bullseye was also pursued by Lady Deathstrike due to him possessing an admantium laced skeleton was removed a few edits ago by , within a large change of text. Was this removal intentional or accidental? I do know that Bullseye had an admantium-laced skeleton, as referenced in one of the books (Predator's Smile?). There's a mention at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/2855/deathstrike.html of her having thought she was pursuing Bullseye but instead finding Wolverine. It's stated at http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/scoop_article.asp?ai=2456&si=126 that Lady Deathstrike's father observed the process of using the admantium to heal Bullseye's shattered spine, this after he'd re-developed the procedure after it was stolen. Also mentioned at http://www.classicmarvel.com/cast/lady_deathstrike.htm or a number of other places found by typing Bullseye "Lady Deathstrike" into Google.
:Bullseye's skeleton is not laced with Adamantium. After he was paralized in the fall fighting with Daredevil, Lady DeathStrike's father, Lord DarkWind (the creator of the Adamantium/Skeletal Bonding Process) only replaced the damaged bone in his spine with Adamantium. Lady DeathStrike, to avenge Bullseye's dishonor towards her father, then hoped to track Bullseye via his Adamantium implants, but the tracking equipment she used lead her to Wolverine instead. To my knowledge she never resumed her vendetta against Bullseye. Now she is even apparently his teammate in The Thunderbolts. Her quest for vengeance against those who stole from her father, namely his original Adamantium/Skeletal Bonding Formulas, should be focused squarely on Bullseye (who technically never repaid Lord DarkWind for saving his life), as well as those who supplied his stolen formulas to the scientists involved with the Weapon X Project. I don't think those avenues were ever written about, yet vendetta was the core of her character from the start. 74.244.63.126 03:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Bullseye's (non-spinal) bones, while not precicely laced or bonded with Adamantium, are reinforced with strips of it (Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe et al.), so it isn't clear where he falls on Deathstrike's hit list. Noclevername 21:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  If in fact Bullseye's entire skeleton is reinforced with Adamantium, then I stand corrected (as I don't follow Daredevil or Bullseye stories), but the procedure was not performed by Lord DarkWind. As stated earlier, he only replaced the damaged bone in Bullseye's spine with Adamantium, giving Bullseye a 50/50 chance of surviving the process. In return, DarkWind demanded the assassination of a Japanese Foreign Minister, which Bullseye implied he would carry out. After he recovered and left DarkWind's island, he welched on his end of the deal, as he was not actually "paid" by DarkWind. Bullseye recieved some Adamantium replaced vertebrae in return for an assassination he never carried out (Daredevil #197-199). Technically, he stole from DarkWind, as was Lady DeathStrike's notion when she began tracking him (Alpha Flight #33). I'd be interested to read the story about Bullseye receiving Adamantium reinforcing strips on his skeleton, if it was actually written about... the instances in "Bios" and "Handbooks" where the writers clearly have no idea what they are talking about, or are just fabricating previously unknown "facts", are pretty numerous. 74.244.63.126 03:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Perhaps its just me, but the main picture this one looks weird, if not disturbing. What exactly is displayed there? Is her leg armor split open?
I would suggest some different picture - this one probably only makes sense if you know the whole situation...--Cyberman TM (talk) 21:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Deleting what I re-added (and I only did that to preserve the article as it was before edit warring) will only keep the edit war going. You should fix up the entire section, because that is what is needed, and explain that in the edit summary. Deleting part while leaving the section still in poor quality will not help. --Spidey104contribs 15:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  A list for those too stupid to read 

message: I requested the semi-protection for this article because of the ongoing edit war that is happening on the article. I will admit that I do not know enough about the character to determine if comments in the article are correct or not. Hopefully the 10 days of semi-protection will allow everyone involved to calm down and make constructive edits. Please provide citations (issue numbers are perfectly fine for that) for information, and if you are removing information that you believe to be incorrect put an explanation in your edit summary. I am not trying to take either side on this dispute, but I'd like it if everyone was able to get along. --Spidey104contribs 03:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I started a new section because I'm not debating the content of the article. I am only trying to keep the article from being in an eternal edit war.
