Silver Fox is kind of a question mark. Initially she wasn't, but when she reappeared (assuming it was the same girl and not someone else brainwashed to think it was her) she showed some signs of mutation. Itsu wasn't, in fact very few of his real relationships have been with mutants. He tends to go with humans for love or long standing flings (Rose, Itsu, Mariko, Yuri, Tyger, Melina).

Basically the only mutant we can say for sure he was serious about is Jean and he knew that was doomed from the start.

Thanks, jrpbsp. I looked up Silver Fox on Wiki and it's just confusing.

I find it interesting that most of his women are not mutants. This works for me...writing a story and this fits in nicely! :boogie2:

I'm attracted to the whole Itsu story but has there even been any books written about it? Or has it just been written a bit here and there, in flashbacks?

Itsu seems to have been created by Daniel (@#$%*&^) Way solely for the purpose of inflicting (@#$%*&^) Daken upon Wolverine canon. Otherwise, she's just another dead woman in Logan's life.

I don't consider Rose as part of his long standing flings or (romantic) loves. Yukio fits the bill as a non-mutant lover.

I am not familiar with Yuri. Who is she?

Here's what Wikipedia said about Yuri:

"In The Amazing Spider-Man #663, a new Wraith appears, targeting Mister Negative's criminal syndicate. During one such attack, the Wraith unmasks to reveal the face of Jean DeWolff.[14] It is later revealed that the Wraith is really Yuri Watanabe, a NYPD captain pretending to be the ghost of the DeWolff to scare the criminals she targets.[15]"



This is from ComicVine, probably more than you needed to know!


"Yuri Watanabe is a NYPD Captain who rose through the ranks alongside Jean DeWolff, and is an ally of Spider-Man. She is also the current Wraith.


Captain Yuri Watanabe rose through the ranks with Jean DeWolff and under Captain George Stacy.

Years later, she was on the scene to make arrests at a known bar occupied by supervillains, that had been broken up by Spider-Man and Daredevil.

She later investigated a gangwar between the Maggia (Which had Mysterio pulling the strings of a Silvermane robot) and Mr.Negative's Inner Demons.

She was also on the scenes of Phil Urich as the new Hobgoblin's latest attacks, including the attack on Horizon Labs.

Yuri subsequently engaged in a hostage stand-off between the madman known as Massacre. Massacre then blew up the west wing of the bank, killing seven of the hostages. After Spider-Man was struck by a bullet, she helped get him to safety. She and Spider-Man allowed Massacre to get away so he wouldn't hurt of kill anymore hostages. Spider-Man unfortunately forgot his spider-sense couldn't track the tracer her put on Massacre (He'd recently lost it) and the trail went cold for Spidey and the NYCPD.

When Massacre struck later, Captain Watnanabe was taken off the case under orders from Mayor J.Jonah Jameson, who'd wanted Massacre taken out for the senseless violence and death he'd caused. Massacre's method's later led Watanabe to feel she had to up her game in order to contend with the more violent, dangerous criminals, which would lead to her adopting her owncrime fighting identity.

Later, Yuri adopted the identity of the Wraith, using Mysterio equipment, including a mask of Jean DeWolff he intended to use later, and Mr.Fear's fear gas. She had acquired these items from an evidence room at police headquarters after an old pumpkin bomb "accidentally" went off and seemingly destroyed the equipment.

She used the Wraith identity and Jean DeWolff mask, as well as the fear gas, to fight crime and scare criminals into confessions. This (And the smoke emmiting equipment of Mysterio's) helped convey her as a spirit of vengeance back from the grave to terrorize the New York City criminal underworld.

She later ran afoul of Anti-Venom, who, back when he was just ordinary reporter, Eddie Brock, seemingly exposed Jean DeWolff's real killer, the Sin-Eater's true identity (The expos'e was later proven false, and caused Eddie's downward spiral that led to his becoming the original Venom). Anti-Venom was stunned by the seeming revelation that Jean DeWolff really wasn't dead, and allowed her to escape in his confusion during a battle with Mr.Negative's thugs.

Later, at a museum heist orchestrated by Mr.Negative, Yuri as the Wraith teamed up with Spider-Man and Anti-Venom to shut their operation down. In the process, she used her costume's facial recognition tech to run a match on who Mr.Negative really was, and the result accurately came up Martin Li. Thus, Li was exposed for the master criminal he truly is, as the mask broadcast its findings to every TV, computer, and smart phone in range of broadcast."

Yuri is just short for Yuriko, not anything meant to be confusing. I include Rose because she was his very first love and tended to color his feelings from then. One reason why he falls so hard for Red Heads, I expect.

Thanks for the information, WolvieRules and jrpbsp. I honestly didn't know that Logan hooked up with Lady Deathstrike. I always just thought she hated him.

I'm sure she would be happy to stick her claws where the sun doesn't shine when it comes to Logan. :'(
