Kayla Silver Fox is asupervillain appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. She works for the terrorist organizationHydra and is also known as a former love interest forWolverine.
Lynn Collins portrays Silver Fox in the 2009 filmX-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Silver Fox first appeared inWolverine (vol. 2) #10, and was created byChris Claremont andJohn Buscema.
Silver Fox is a member of theFirst NationBlackfoot Confederacy.[1] In the early to late 1900s, she lived withWolverine as his lover in Canada. She was allegedly murdered bySabretooth on Wolverine's birthday,[2] but is later revealed to be alive and a member of thecovert opsTeam X. Fox eventually betrays Team X and becomes a member ofHydra, a subversive terrorist organization.[3]
Silver Fox reappears during the modern period when Wolverine tracks down each member of theWeapon X staff, discovering the studios where many of his memories, which he believes to be real, were staged. Allegedly she kills the professor who had been in charge of the program after Logan left. At this point it is revealed that Silver Fox is in command of a section of Hydra.[4]
Shortly thereafter, Silver Fox captures the assassin Reiko, and forms an alliance with Reiko's boss, Hand JoninMatsu'o Tsurayaba. Matsu'o is in the process of trying to buy Clan Yashida's underworld connections beforeMariko Yashida severs them entirely. Silver Fox dupes Reiko into poisoning Mariko, giving Matsu'o what he wanted. Silver Fox's motivations in this are unclear.[5]
Later, whenMastodon, a member of Weapon X, dies due to the failure of his anti-aging factor, Silver Fox reunites with Logan,Victor Creed,Maverick, andWraith. She is cold to Logan and seems not to remember having spent any pleasant time with him. The group infiltrates a secret base and confronts the man who had implanted them with their false memories: Aldo Ferro, the Psi-Borg. AfterCarol Hines dies of fright at the hands of Ferro's transformation, Ferro takes control of their minds and this time makes Creed kill Silver Fox.[6] After Ferro's defeat, Silver Fox was to be buried in Salem Center. At the church, Logan discovered that her body has been prepared for flight. The father at the church notifies Logan that "a brick wall with an eyepatch" gave the order. Suddenly, aS.H.I.E.L.D. carrier arrives withNick Fury, who states he never imagined the day when a top-ranking Hydra member would get a full honors S.H.I.E.L.D. burial. Wraith appears as well, having orchestrated the entire funeral, stating "Salem Center meant nothing to her". Wraith tells Logan that they found the cabin where he really had lived with Silver Fox a lifetime ago. He gets permission to bury her there and uses the part of the door with "Silver Fox + Logan" in a heart that he had carved into it as a headstone.[7]
Before beheading Sabretooth, Wolverine expresses his doubt on whether or not the events of Silver Fox's return actually happened, but admits the pain and loss he felt during that time was real.[8]
Silver Fox possesses an accelerated healing and an age suppressant, allowing her to retain her looks after years of being separated from Logan.
