Warrior Woman

Warstar

Warstar is a warrior serving in the Royal Elite of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. The character, created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, first appeared in ''X-Men'' #137 (September 1980).

Warstar is actually two symbiotically linked sentient mechanoids, a small one named B'nee who can generate electricity and a large one named C’cil who is gigantic and immensely strong and durable. B'nee rides on C'cil's back.

Warstar joined in the Imperial Guard's trial by combat with the X-Men to decide the fate of the Phoenix. Warstar was then a traitor who served Lord Samedar, Deathbird, and the Brood in their conspiracy to overthrow Shi'ar Princess-Majestrix Lilandra, and battled the X-Men.''The Uncanny X-Men'' #157-158 (May–June 1982). After defeating the Brood and the renegades, Lilandra resumed her position as the head of the Shi'ar Empire. Despite most of the Imperial Guard having joined with Deathbird against Lilandra, the team members were pardoned for their actions.

Deathbird later assumed control of the Shi'ar empire, On her behalf, Warstar battled Ch'od of the Starjammers; he was defeated along with the other Imperial Guardsmen by the X-Men and Starjammers.

During ''Operation Galactic Storm'', Warstar fought Captain America in Arizona in an attempt to abduct Rick Jones. Warstar battled Captain America, Iron Man, and Wonder Man during the Kree-Shi'ar War. Warstar was defeated by Gilgamesh and She-Hulk.''Avengers West Coast'' #81 (April 1992). Incarcerated at Project Pegasus, Warstar comes into contact with fellow Guardsman Hobgoblin. Their teammates Nightside and Scintilla break into Pegasus and free Warstar and Hobogoblin. Hobgoblin impersonates the Kree geneticist Doctor Minerva, and induces the Kree Captain Atlas to accompany him aboard a Shi’ar ship, where the Kree are outnumbered by the Imperial Guard, who then claim Captain Marvel's Nega-Bands for themselves.

Years later, in the Maximum Security crossover, Warstar and fellow Guardsmen Hussar, Neutron, and Webwing were charged for their complicity in Deathbird's coup and sent to Earth, which had been turned into an intergalactic prison planet. The quartet joined with a rogue D'Bari in an attack on several X-Men, but were ultimately defeated. When the Maximum Security storyline resolved, all alien prisoners were removed from Earth, and Warstar, Hussar, and Neutron were later seen among the Imperial Guard again.

Warstar was ripped in half when the Guard fought for their new emperor Vulcan against the X-Men and Starjammers, but Warstar survived and were carried away by their fellow Guardsmen.

During the war between Vulcan's regime and the Inhuman-ruled Kree Empire, Warstar was seen menacing Nova Corps Centurions on the Kree planet Kaiphas, but was stopped by Nova Prime Richard Rider. Both B'nee and C'cil were apparently decapitated by the Nova Prime, with B'nee's head completely missing and C'cil's reduced to a smoking mass.

As a mechanoid symbiote, Warstar is difficult to actually kill, and he appears in a number of later Imperial Guard missions, including "Infinity," the "Trial of Jean Grey," "Time Runs Out," and the return of Thanos.

Leiko Wu

Leiko Wu is a fictional secret agent in Marvel Comics. The character, created by Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy, first appeared in ''Master of Kung Fu (comics), Master of Kung Fu'' #33 (October 1975).

Leiko Wu is a British Chinese, Chinese-British MI-6 agent. Upon joining, she entered a romantic relationship with Clive Reston, but she left him for Simon Bretnor, who later became the villain Mordillo. She soon joined back up with Reston along with his new allies Black Jack Tarr and Shang-Chi, the latter of whom she developed feelings for. Together, they defeated Mordillo. She continued to go on several missions with Shang-Chi and Reston which would usually cause awkward tension among them. Wu would also help Shang-Chi defeat his father, Zheng Zu, Fu Manchu, on a couple of occasions.

Sometime after her relationship with Shang-Chi ended, Leiko is murdered by Razor Fist while working undercover in the Triad (organized crime), triads for MI-6. Leiko's murder prompts Shang-Chi to return to London, where he reunites with Tarr and his former enemy Skull Crusher, who alleges that Leiko planned to defect MI-6 for him. When Razor Fist's employer is revealed to be White Dragon (comics)#White Dragon II, White Dragon, Skull-Crusher's rival triad clan leader, Shang-Chi and Skull-Crusher arrive at White Dragon's estate, but are captured by Shang-Chi's brother Midnight Sun (Marvel Comics), Midnight Sun, White Dragon's master. Midnight Sun decapitates White Dragon and Skull-Crusher for the Mao Shan Pai ritual, which requires the heads of the triad leaders. Instead of granting him the powers that the ritual would grant him, the spell instead resurrects Leiko due to Skull-Crusher secretly making her the leader of his clan before her death. Leiko uses her newfound powers to main Razor Fist and summons the spirits of the dead triad leaders to drag Midnight Sun back to their realm. Shang-Chi is unable to bring his former lover back to her normal self and she flees when Tarr arrives at the estate with backup. Leiko is later seen taking a photo that Shang-Chi leaves behind at her grave of the two of them.

Leiko eventually resumes her duties with MI-6. When MI-6 discovers that Zheng Zu's (Fu Manchu's real identity) organization is active again, Leiko visits Shang-Chi at his new residence in San Francisco to warn him, only for the two to be attacked by unknown assailants. The two are rescued by Shang-Chi's previously unknown half-siblings, Brother Sabre and Sister Dagger, who reveal that Shang-Chi has been chosen by Zheng Zu's spirit as the new Supreme Commander of the Five Weapons Society, the true name of their father's organization. Sabre and Dagger request Shang-Chi's help in overthrowing Sister Hammer, the illegitimate leader of the Society and his long-lost full sister, Shi-Hua, who sent the assassins to kill her brother in order to consolidate her rule. Leiko flies Shang-Chi back to London, where the House of the Deadly Staff and Sister Hammer are located. Despite Leiko's offer to help, Shang-Chi insists on confronting his sister alone.

Leiko provides Shang-Chi with information via phone call regarding a map leading to his uncle Zheng Yi's grave and attempts to prevent an MI5-led raid on the House of the Deadly Staff; the leading officer ignores her warnings and leads an assault, only for him and his forces to be massacred by Shi-Hua and her henchmen. When Shi-Hua and her jiangshi army attack London, Lekio and MI-6 help defend the city with Shang-Chi and his siblings. After the army is defeated and Shi-Hua is subdued, Leiko attempts to shoot her in the head, but the bullet is caught by Shang-Chi, who allows his sister to flee.

While Shang-Chi is still in London, Leiko approaches him on behalf of MI-6 and asks him to steal the mystical Equinox Blade from the British Museum before it could be auctioned off due to the danger the sword poses. Leiko guides Shang-Chi via earpiece through the museum's security systems, but he encounters Lady Deathstrike, who had just stolen the blade and used its power to steal the souls of the museum's guards. After a prolonged struggle and with Leiko's help, Shang-Chi knocks Deathstrike out of a window and destroys the blade, freeing the souls it consumed to return to its victims. For his trouble, Leiko treats Shang-Chi to gelato.

Leiko and Shang-Chi spend holiday together in Seoul, where they witness several gas bombs detonate across the city, turning victims into trees. After helping Shang-Chi and List_of_Marvel_Comics_characters:_W#White_Fox, White Fox rescue civilians from a gas explosion, Leiko receives a broadcast of similar explosions happening in major cities worldwide. The three track the origin of one of the diffusors to an Advanced Idea Mechanics, A.I.M. laboratory in London, where they encounter scientist Jessa Chen, who claims she and other scientists are being forced against their will to create the bioweapon, named the Gelsemium Molecule. Leiko takes Chen to safety while Shang-Chi and White Fox fight A.I.M. guards. While they are alone, Chen reveals herself as Doctor Gelsemium, the true mastermind behind the Gelsemium Molecule and uses her tree-like physiology to restrain Leiko before exposing her to a Molecule sample. Gelsemium takes Leiko to another laboratory in the Pacific Northwest, where Leiko begins transforming into a tree. Shang-Chi and White Fox find Leiko through her tracker and fight Gelsemium. Leiko is able to free herself and uses her own tree physiology to free Gelsemium's test subjects and fight her. After Gelsemium is defeated, Leiko is cured with an antidote which later supplied to Gelsemium's victims around the world.

She possesses supernatural powers since her resurrection and knows martial arts, espionage, and firearms.
