His mutant tachyon powers are not evident here, however, as he is seen throwing giant shurikens and his supers involve empowering his katana with elemental properties and attacks revolving around lightning, fire, and ice. He is one of the two Marvel characters that doesn't speak English during gameplay, instead speaking [[Japanese language|Japanese]] ([[Colossus (comics)|Colossus]], who speaks [[Russian language|Russian]] during gameplay is the other). Although his speech is limited to mostly grunts and vocal protesting, he does utter a few phrases in Japanese: {{nihongo|Appare!|あっぱれ|}}, which means "Bravo!", in one of his victory poses and {{nihongo|Raimei-ken|雷鳴剣|}}, meaning "Thunder Sword", during his special attack.

In the game, Silver Samurai is a head of [[HYDRA]], and mentor of [[Lady Deathstrike]]. Years before Weapon X, Silver Samurai and HYDRA collaborated with [[William Stryker]] in building the [[Master Mold]] and [[Sentinel (comics)|Sentinels]] robots.
