Powers: Uncertain. However, it appears that Silver Fox certainly had an anti-age (and healing) factor similar to that possessed by Wolverine and Sabretooth. She may also have possessed claws, but whether they were natural is unknown. Little is known for sure about Silver Fox's life. For many years Logan thought that she had lived with him in Canada. She was a Native American and he was a frontiersman. They enjoyed some happy times together. Then Sabretooth killed her on Logan's birthday, ostensibly when she rejected his advances. Or so Logan thought.

Silver Fox reappeared during the period when Wolverine tracked down the members of the Weapon X staff and discovered the studios where many of the memories he thought were his were staged. Apparently, she killed the Professor who had been in charge of the program after Logan left. At this point it was revealed that Silver Fox controlled a section of Hydra.

Shortly thereafter, Silver Fox captured the assassin Reiko, and allied herself with Reiko's boss, Hand Jonin Matsu'o Tsurayaba. Matsu'o was in the process of trying to buy Clan Yashida's underworld connections before Mariko Yashida severed them entirely. Silver Fox duped Reiko into poisoning Mariko, giving Matsu'o what he wanted. Silver Fox's motivations in this are unclear, though it could simply have been jealousy.

Later, when Mastodon, a member of the Weapon X "team" died due to the failure of his anti-aging factor, Silver Fox reunited with Logan, Creed, Maverick and Wraith. She was very cold to Logan, and seemed not to remember having spent any pleasant time with him. The Weapon Xers infiltrated a secret base and confronted the man who had implanted them with their false memories: Aldo Ferro, the Psi-Borg. Ferro actually took control of their minds and this time made Creed actually kill Silver Fox. After Ferro's defeat, Logan called in a lot of favors and actually found the cabin where he really had lived with Silver Fox a lifetime ago, vindicating his one truly happy memory. He got permission to bury her there, and used the part of the door with "Silver Fox + Logan" in a heart that he had carved into it as a headstone.
