History:
(X-Men II Annual#3) - Benazir played a game of chess with Shinobi Shaw. moving
him into a seemingly precarious position, but Shinobi revealed he was merely
sacrificing one piece to achieve a greater long-term goal, and he swiftly
checkmated her. She questioned him on his other plot (his intended manipulation
of the X-Man Storm), and he told her it was coming along quite well.
Shinobi later introduced Storm -- drugged into an affiliation with Shaw -- to Benedict Kine, Benazir Kaur, and Reeva Payge. When Gambit and Bishop arrived to aid Storm, Benazir stimulated the development of cancer in Gambit's lungs from smoking; but Bishop slapped her unconscious, and Gambit swiftly reverted to normal. Storm threw off Shaw's control completely, defeated Shaw, and departed.
