History:
samurai-928-2099ad-wbluemax2(Punisher 2099 I#27 (fb) - BTS) - Samurai challenged Blue Max for the Blue Dagger jet blade, and Blue Max participated in an a trans-American contest.

(Punisher 2099 I#27) - Samurai competed against the likes of Blue Max, Bull, the Commando, and the Steel Warrior. Using a newly designed Sky Shark  (something like a hang glider in appearance, but powered), the Punisher happened into the competition field, blasting a Cyber-Nostra gang. 

(Punisher 2099 I#27 - BTS) - Blue Max assaulted and seemingly slew the Punisher him. However, protected by his armor, the Punisher recovered and tracked down the location of the Air Gladiators final competition, while his tech-man, Matt Axel, rebuilt the Sky Shark.

    Figuring that killing Blue Max during the competition would only make her a martyr and turn the whole crowd against him, the Punisher resolved to enter the competition and defeat her, win the Blue Dagger and then destroy it, hoping to dissuade many others from following her example.

(Punisher 2099 I#27) - Seeing the Punisher enter the competition air space, Blue Max confronted him again, and after some conflict, he caused her to fall off his Sky Shark's wing.

(Punisher 2099 I#27) - As she futilely fired at the Punisher, Blue Max was caught by Samurai, who acknowledged that he could have made it to the finish line and won, but that loyalty to fellow sky-blader caused him to save her. They they joined forces against the Punisher, with the Samurai offering to stand down and lete her take the championship, but the Punisher's Sky Shark's guns instead hit the Samurai in the chest, apparently killing him.samurai-928-2099ad-shot

    Many of the images also show Blue Max. In case there's any question, Samurai is the bald guy with the rising sun bandana.
