Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bloodstrike is a comic-book series created by Rob Liefeld and published by Image Comics as part of their Extreme Comics imprint. It is a spin-off of Youngblood.The series follows the adventures of a super-powered assassination squad led by Cabbot Stone. Each member is a super-powered operative who died in the field of battle and got resurrected by a secret government program called Project Born Again. Because they need regular treatments in order to avoid dying again, the government is able to force them to go on missions that would be too dangerous for living operatives.The original run lasted for 22 issues, after which Image tried to relaunch the franchise as Bloodstrike: Assassin. There was also Cabbot: Bloodhunter, a solo miniseries focused on Cabbot, but it was cancelled after a single issue.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2012, the series was revived by Tim Seeley, with a more satirical bent, focusing on the implications of the government using resurrection technology, but was put on hiatus after eight issues. It was revived once more in 2018 by Michel Fiffe of Copra fame, this time as a three-issue miniseries called Bloodstrike: Brutalists numbered #0, 23 and 24, that plugs the continuity gap between the original issue #22 and #25 (originally published as part of a “flash-forward” event between issues #10 and #11.) | |

Vengeful Widow | |
| Bloodstrike (Comic Book) / int_101d1bb5 | comment |
Vengeful Widow: The Black Bride was a KGB enhancile assassin who tried to settle down with a nice guy and move to the countryside. The KGB instead sent a hit-squad to her wedding who killed everyone except her. She tried to clone her fiancee, but the technology wasn't there yet, and she ended up with the Dead-Eyed Grooms, an army of zombies. Now she and her zombie army go around committing atrocities for money so that she can hunt down her former bosses and kill them. Chelle Scott, the widow of former Bloodstrike director Dale Scott, keeps making trouble for Keyes and Milne after they meddle to prevent Dale from being resurrected. Eventually, she turns to the original Fourplay for help. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Bloodstrike (Comic Book) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: This series doesn't just abuse the concept of comic-book death, it works it over repeatedly with a lead pipe. The main characters die repeatedly in obscenely violent ways, only to get resurrected soon after. | |

There Are No Therapists: Averted in the Seeley reboot, where the first issue has Cabbot forced to sit down with a counselor. And then played straight when it turns out that Dr. Marilyn Hammel is just another Born Again. Later, a new counselor is hired to deal with Cabbot and his team. The new doctor works out much better. | |

Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Kennedy has chalk white skin and black hair, as does Sam. This is presumably a byproduct of their resurrections, although Sam is slightly less pale, possibly because he died of a drug overdose, whereas Kennedy was bludgeoned to death. | |

Expy: Cabbot is a thinly-veiled copy of Cable, while Deadlock is a straight-up rip-off of Wolverine, except with clawed fingers instead of Wolverine's pop-out claws. Tag also bears a strong physical resemblance to Liefeld's version of Boom-Boom from X-Force. | |
