Fatale is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character appears in usually those comics featuring the X-Men family of characters. She is an assassin who usually works for Dark Beast. Created by writer John Francis Moore and artist Jeff Matsuda, she first appeared in X-Factor vol. 1 #112 (July 1995), though in X-Men vol. 2 #49 it was revealed that Pamela Greenwood, a waitress who had appeared two years before in Uncanny X-Men #299 (and who was created by Scott Lobdell and Brandon Peterson), was in fact Fatale in disguise.
Little is known about Fatale's youth. She was one of Europe's finest assassins but how she came to be Dark Beast's most trusted servant is unknown. When Dark Beast becomes interested in the X-Man Bishop, he places Fatale undercover as a waitress named Amy Johnson in Harry's Hideaway, a bar the X-Men often visited to gather information for him.
Later, she scans Bishop's mind to find his ideal woman and changes her appearance to match this image. She takes the name Pamela Greenwood, but she fails to get any closer to Bishop. Bishop notices something familiar about Pamela, but never pursues his interest in her.
After his visit to the Age of Apocalypse, Bishop begins having nightmares. He suspects that Pamela Greenwood is somehow connected and goes to her apartment to question her. Pamela revealed herself as Fatale and fights Bishop, but Dark Beast, monitoring the fight, calls her off when Beast enters the fight. Seeing a new opportunity to infiltrate the X-Men, Dark Beast kidnaps Beast and takes his place.
Several months later, Havok is losing control of his powers. Both Dark Beast and Sugarman order their respective agents Fatale and Scarlett McKenzie (a former lover of Havok who was believed to have died) to kidnap Havok so that they can brainwash him. Scarlett is able to trick a dazed and confused Havok into coming with her as far as Tokyo, Japan, en route to Genosha, but they are intercepted by Fatale, who has hired the Tatsu clan's ninjas for their help in her mission. Havok is rescued by longtime X-ally Yukio, and is reclaimed by X-Factor, who had followed the parties involved to Japan, driving off Fatale and Scarlett after a massive battle.
