CHARACTER BIOS
Dani Moonstar is a prominent member and occasional leader of the New Mutants. She’s a proud member of the Cheyenne people and a Mutant who manifested powers of illusions as a teenager. Originally she struggled with her illusion-based powers because they would only manifest as other people’s greatest fears. Now she has mastered her abilities by channeling them into powerful Neural Arrows as she fights for Mutantkind with the X-Men.
Yuriko Oyama, in a desperate attempt to punish Wolverine for stealing her father’s legacy, transformed herself into a cyborg. Now, armed with powerful healing capabilities and deadly adamantium claws, Yuriko has forsaken her humanity and adopted the title of Lady Deathstrike.
Set your reminders! Dani Moonstar arrives in-game on June 15 and Lady Deathstrike on June 20.
