10 Most Powerful Characters Killed By Wolverine

10. Lady Deathstrike

Professor Kenji Oyama was a Japanese scientist who created the adamantium-bonding process that Weapon X used to coat Logan's bones with the unbreakable alloy. A kamikaze pilot during World War II, he felt intense shame when he failed to die after his plane exploded. Rather than seeking therapy, he ritually scarred the faces of his children and became a criminal under the alias Lord Dark Wind. Kenji's own daughter Yuriko later killed him in revenge for the death of her brothers and the scarification.

Thus began Yuriko's own turn towards the dark side, as she sought to right the wrongs done to her father that had turned him into a monster over the years. One of those wrongs was the theft of the adamantium-bonding process, which led to the newly named Lady Deathstrike starting a lifelong feud with Wolverine for being the recipient of the alloy. She also hunts adamantium stockpiles all over the world.

A version of Yuriko appears in the 2003 film X2, this time a brainwashed mutant with similar powers and origins to Wolverine. This one ironically dies when Wolvie decides to give her more adamantium than she can handle, filling her up to the eyeballs with the stuff in one of the film's most gruesome sequences.
