Bloodaxe



Bloodaxe (real name Jackie Lukus) was a villain from Marvel Comics, and an enemy of Thor and his supporting hero Thunderstrike during the 90's.

Overview
Bloodaxe's identity was initially a mystery; all early panels of the character's alter ego were depicted as being concealed by shadow or as a silhouette. Due to the sheer muscular mass of Bloodaxe (a direct result of the Asgardian curse within the axe), it was also impossible to determine whether the mortal alias was even male or female. Many supporting cast members of Thunderstrike were hinted at being Bloodaxe but many of those clues would later turn out to be red herrings to conceal her true identity.

It was only after Bloodaxe was defeated that the mortal alias was revealed to be Jackie Lukus, a confidant and love interest of Thunderstrike's alias Eric Masterson.

Story
A shadowy figure found the axe once wielded by Skurge the Executioner, and in picking it up was transformed by its magic into a powerful asgardian-like being. This new being then went into action as Bloodaxe, battling the police and slaying drug dealers and carjackers.

Bloodaxe first fought Thor when the mortal Eric Masterson was using the identity of Thor. Bloodaxe then battled Doctor Strange, and encountered Susan Austin. She then fought Code: Blue and Earth Force.

When the real Thor Odinson returned, Masterson became Thunderstrike and fought Bloodaxe again. Bloodaxe first encountered Thunderstrike when she arrived to kill a low tier villain called Carjack and his gang. Thunderstrike thwarted Bloodaxe and took custody of the axe. However, Thunderstrike later succumbed to the axe's will in an attempt to obtain more power to defeat an even more powerful villain, Set the Serpent God of Death. After Set was destroyed, Thunderstrike was possessed by the axe's murderous curse. As no-one was able to stop his rampage, Masterson chose to sacrifice himself in order to destroy the Bloodaxe curse forever.
