be sure to subscribe for more great
content as with most comic book
characters there are often reimagining
and different versions to a character’s
past we have chosen to primarily follow
the storyline which unfolded in 2005
x-23
volume 1 next 23 is actually one of the
most badass superheroes in the marvel
Canon which is saying a lot she
essentially has all of the powers
associated with Wolverine of the x-men
including those adamantium claws and a
greatly enhanced ability to heal and
trust us she needs both x-23 whose real
name is Laura Kinney debuted in the
x-men evolution TV series before popping
up in some 2004 issues of NYX in the
comic book story arc x-23
was originally a prostitute who
specialized in clients with a kink for
pain she soon joined up with a group of
new teenagers but her origin was left
unexplained that’s got taken care of the
next year in her self-titled miniseries
readers found that doctor Xander rice
was working with a man named Martin
Sutter to recreate the Weapon X project
Bryce’s father had been a part of that
project which crafted an adamantium
skeleton onto Wolverine and turned him
into an assassin his father had also
been killed by Logan when Xander was but
a child the problem is that no
subsequent subjects had possessed whole
brains mutant healing powers and as such
none could survive the operation Sutter
therefore brought in geneticist Erica
knee whose job was to clone a new
Overeem for use in this project
unfortunately the y-chromosome at the
DNA samples she had to work with were
badly damaged she who realized that to
create a new Wolverine would take at
least a decade but creating a female
version could be done relatively quickly
over Sutter and Rice’s objections key he
went forward with her plan to create a
female version of Wolverine in order to
punish her rice forced her to be the
surrogate in whom the clone embryo would
be implanted since the goal of the
project was to create a totally obedient
killing machine once the child was born
she was given only minimal human contact
that’s her mother Sara was still given
sufficient time with her in order to
ensure a proper amount of developmental
guidance
additionally Laura was trained in
martial arts by a sensei who also
managed to regularly sneak in a few
moments of kindness
and human bonding with her against saris
objections rice crafted an adamantium
skeleton onto Laura without the use of
any anesthesia the seven-year-old was
also given a special trigger cent
mechanism which means that a certain
scent could trigger a killing response
in her rice used this scent on her scent
a forcing her to murder him in cold
blood having successfully programmed her
to be a killing machine Sutter and Rice
Santora on a mission that resulted in
multiple casualties and established her
value as an operative they then began
hiring her out to anyone willing to meet
their steep price but rice was filled
with hatred towards her because Logan
had killed his father
so he sent her on what was supposed to
be a suicide mission a mission
x-23 survived rice turned this to his
advantage
unbeknownst to Sutter rice had an affair
with his wife Rachel the Sun that Sutter
supposed was his own was actually Rice’s
however overcome with guilt
Rachel intended to tell Sutter the truth
rice then sent Laura to kill them both
she quickly took care of Sutter and
Rachel but found herself unable to
follow through on killing the child for
unwillingness to kill the innocent child
let Sarah know that there was still a
soul buried deep within Laura she
developed a plan to rescue her and
needed to move quickly
rice was developing an entire army of
clones just like Laura once they were
viable he wouldn’t need her anymore Dara
instructed Laura to kill rice and
destroy all the clone embryos which she
did
unfortunately rice managed to rub some
of the trigger scent on to Sarah and so
Laura was forced to kill her own mother
Laura escaped eventually ending up in
New York City where as we saw she
eventually found a group of other
teenaged mutants and from there she
eventually joined forces with the x-men
and met Wolverine with careful training
she has overcome the conditioning that
made her an assassin and is now an
adwords of superhero following Logan’s
death Laura took on the identity of
Wolverine and shows that she is the
perfect person to follow in his
footsteps
x-23 is one of those rare characters who
started out as a TV character before
making a successful jump to the printed
page since assuming the mantle of
Wolverine her profile had raised even
higher and she’s likely to show off more
frequently in Marvel television and film
properties
