Biography
Lord Deathstrike
He had been hired by parties to assassinate a Chinese man who was in a highly defended bunker in China. Upon receiving his expensive fee, he went to Argentina where he fired a specialised round from a sniper rifle that drilled through the ground from there to China thus killing the target. He was then given a contract by the Red Right Hand to find and kill Mystique. Lord Deathstrike found his quarry where he used a sniper rifle to lodge an explosive bullet in the dark thus badly wounding her. Despite her injuries, Mystique managed to evade Lord Deathstrike and went on the run with him in close pursuit. He eventually tracked her down but the shapeshifter used her power to enter into a store and purchase guns to fight back against her attacker. Around this time, Wolverine had arrived who wanted information on the Red Right Hand with Lord Deathstrike tasked with preventing Mystique from revealing what she knew of the group. Wolverine managed to defeat Lord Deathstrike who Mystique then shot a bullet but his mask protected him and in the moment he managed to escape by phasing through the ground. Wolverine then killed Mystique during a confrontation between the pair and though he failed in killing her it was Lord Deathstrike who recovered her deceased body where he brought it to the black market. Once there, it was put up for a bid at an auction with it eventually being sold to a group of ninjas. (Wolverine v4 #9)
