Background

Darryl Sheppard was only a young child when the U.S. Air Force transport plane she was on crashed down on a small island to the north of Japan, leaving her the sole survivor. The locals took the youth in, and raised her as a member of their community, complete with their devotion to the martial arts. Samuree was trained in a broad array of Eastern martial arts (her adoptive island was a centuries-old polyglot of martial artists and warrior cultures) and is one of the deadliest martial artists on Earth. Then her adoptive home island was invaded by a corporation with US military ties who proceeded to perform hideous experiments on the islanders they did not immediately execute for fighting back. The experiments conducted on her as a child included super-steroids to induce greatly-enhanced musculature.

Eventually she was found and adopted by a U.S. Air Force Captain, Gideon Pierce. She grew up to be a strong willed woman with a desire to do right, and when terrorists took control of New York’s Museum of Natural History, she teamed up with the Revengers (Megalith, Armor, and SilverStreak) to stop them.
