Deathcry (Sharra Neramani)

In Marvel continuity Deathcry is a Shi'ar whose true name was taken by imperial decree. Sources state that Lilandra Neramani stripped Sharra of her given name and assigned her the mantle/title "Deathcry," ordering her to protect the Avengers on Earth after an incident tied to her violent past. In later summaries (Chaos War material) it is revealed her true name is Sharra Neramani and that she was dispatched to Earth after having killed a member of her own platoon in a drunken rage over a mutual lover; her exact parentage is described in sources as ambiguous (she is described as the niece of Lilandra and may be descended from or apparently the daughter of Deathbird in some accounts). During her service she hid her youthful age, became an honorary protector/member of the Avengers for a period, then later returned to Shi'ar domains and subsequently appears in other storylines (imprisoned in the Kree, selected to fight the Phalanx, and among the dead during Chaos War).

Sources describe Deathcry as a female Shi'ar — an avian-like alien — with sharp talons and a visibly aggressive, berserker aesthetic. Commentary and criticism emphasize a 1990s "bad girl" visual: pronounced cleavage, "crazy hair," and conspicuous tattoos; one writer summarized her as "a female, berserker, bird person with crazy hair." Canonical descriptions in the provided texts note her talons and avian physiology but do not supply consistent costume coloration or full iconographic detail.

Reported attributes include super-strength, enhanced stamina and sturdiness, sharp talons, and enhanced senses. Narrative behavior includes a volatile, berserker temperament (linked in sources to possible descent from Deathbird), a strict personal code regarding combat honor (she regarded another taking a kill as an insult), and demonstrated willingness to engage aggressively with allies and enemies. Storylines record that she can be fatally injured in combat (a described encounter resulted in her striking an energy attack and exploding), and that she was at one time imprisoned and accused of multiple murders in Kree custody.
