History:
(Adventures of Spider-Boy
#15) - Lethal made his first appearance and presumably faced-off
against Spider-Boy (Pete Ross).
(Assassins#1 (bts)) - Brought together by corrupt New Gotham
mayor the Big Question (Edward Nigma
Fisk), Lethal and his fellow assassins,
Deadeye (Bill Lawton) and
Wired (Nathan Chase), discovered that
they had defeats at the hands of the same women
(Dare and
Catsai) in common. Together, Lethal,
Deadeye, and Wired figured they could teach their mutual enemies a lesson
in respect. Working for the Big Question made them think that the road
to riches was all puzzled out . . .
(Assassins#1) - "Political Suicide" - Lethal attacked
Dare (Slade Murdock) and
Catsai (Elektra Kyle) in an elevator
shaft within Arkham Tower as the two
assassins were on a mission to kill the Big Question. Dare avoided
Lethal's initial attack by using her internal "radar" sense to track and
catch his throwing blades in midair. Catsai's pet cats then tripped
Lethal, but he soon recovered and began to fire bullets at Catsai.
But Catsai gracefully dodged the firestorm and used her blade-tipped whip
to ensnare Lethal while Dare delivered the deathstroke with her sword.
The female assassins left Lethal for dead.
