10 Super-Bad Comic Book Girls You Don't Want As Your Valentine

8. Lady Deathstrike €“ Yuriko Oyama

Lady Deathstrike There's a great deal of insecurity in this bad girl. First appearing in Daredevil #197 where she had to help Daredevil deal with some severe Daddy issues, Yuriko eventually transforms herself in Lady Deathstrike by undergoing the adamantium bonding process at the Body Shop in the Mojoverse. Yeah ... in any other article that wouldn't make sense. The adamantium bonding process was Yuriko's father's invention. As Wolverine's skeleton was proof that he had somehow stolen her father's secret, Lady Deathstrike was obsessed with besting Wolverine in combat to satisfy her sense of honour. She augmented herself through cybernetic means and also subjected herself to the painful adamantium process to make this happen. Some people buy bigger cars or nicer clothes. This woman? She gets unbreakable talons and robotically powered muscles. What sort of a valentine could you expect to receive from Lady Deathstrike? Well, if you're someone she's trying to one-up: your liver. If you're lucky, then you can expect a painful and penetrating lesson about honour, adamantium-style.
