Rob Liefeld Genderflips More X-Characters in Deadpool Badder Blood #2

At the end of the second issue of Deadpool: Badder Blood, we get a closer look at her, courtesy of Rob Liefeld.

In the first issue of the new Deadpool: Badder Blood series, Rob Liefeld introduced Shatterstorm, a female parallel to his previous creation Shatterstar from Mojoworld's Shatterstar. He stated "Shatterstorm is her own woman entirely and not a derivative. Shatterstorm hails from Mojoworld and was born and bred to fight in the same Arena Games that forged Shatterstar, a legend among all Gladiators in the Mojoverse".

But solicits also mention a character known as Arcata. And at the end of the second issue of Deadpool: Badder Blood, we get a closer look at her, in front of the Murderworld videoscreens.

Looks like we're getting another genderflip to add to the Rob Liefeld collection.

Arcata, a female version of Arcade, the supervillain created by Chris Claremont and  John Byrne in 1978 for Marvel Team-Up #65, fighting against Spider-Man and Captain Britain, as an evil genius of the James Bond school who works as a mercenary with the elaborate traps of Murderworld. He became an X-Men villain but also targeted the Avengers with Avengers Arena. How Arcata differs from Arcade? I am sure that is to come as well…
