Like many others in this list, the movie version of Lady Deathstrike traveled a different path to her character in the comics. But we aren’t going to complain when the upside is that we get to look at the delicious Kelly Hu and her lovely, erm, acting talents. This version of Deathstrike is another one of meaty-faced William Stryker’s brainwashed mutants. She shares all the abilities that make Wolverine so goddamn killer: cat-like agility, bear-like strength, regenerative flesh and an adamantium skeleton for good measure. She even has long adamantium fingernails for five-fingered stabby fun. The single thing she lacks, though, (apart from his pointy haircut and stubble) is perhaps Wolvie’s resourcefulness, as despite getting the better of him during their fight scene in X2, Wolverine manages to send her to a metallic demise by giving her a good pumping (with adamantium).
