Name: Laura Kinney
age: 19
codename: X-23
personality: Tends to be very quiet, uttering maybe a few sentances at most at a time. (short sentances, mind you) Since she was raised by Hydra as a killer, she knows little else and therefore can kill with little to no remorse. However, her emotions seem to manifest when it comes to Wolverine or her general past.
Appearance: Long, straight black hair that reaches a few inches below her shoulderblades. Her eyecolor is a brownish color (going by coverart) and her skin has the slightly-tanner look to it, much like Logan's.
Powers/abilities: X-23 is a female clone created from Wolverine's genetic material; her mutant powers are similar to his. Notable differences are the number of hand claws (she has two to Wolverine's three) and X-23's foot claws (which he lacks entirely). These claws were brutally extracted by Zander Rice, sharpened, coated with adamantium, and reinserted into her body.
X-23 escaped before the procedure to fuse her entire skeleton with adamantium could be performed. Consequently, she possesses an increased healing factor. However, because X-23 is in her teens her factor has yet to develop to the levels Wolverine possesses.
Since X-23 lacks an adamantium skeleton and has a feminine build, there are limits to the amount of pressure her body can resist relative to Wolverine. A benefit of her healing factor is that her senses, agility, reflexes, endurance, and stamina are all developed to a level beyond the range of a normal human.
X-23 received intensive training in ranged weapons, explosives, and both armed and unarmed martial arts.
History: When a top-secret program attempted to recreate the original Weapon X experiment that produced the feral mutant Wolverine, they failed to secure a test subject that could survive the bonding of the virtually unbreakable metal Adamantium to their skeleton. Seeking to take the project in a new direction, the project's director, Doctor Martin Sutter, recruited renowned mutant geneticist Doctor Sarah Kinney and tasked her with creating a clone. Using the only available genetic sample from Weapon X, which was damaged, they were unable to salvage the Y chromosome after 22 attempts. Kinney then proposed they create a female clone, and although her request was denied, she surreptitiously went ahead and produced a viable female embryo. Her success prompted Sutter to reconsider. Sutter's protégé Doctor Zander Rice, whom he had raised after Rice's father was killed by Wolverine at the original Weapon X Project, opposed bringing the embryo to term. When Sutter finally allowed Kinney to proceed, Rice exacted revenge for her insubordination by forcing Kinney to act as the surrogate mother for the clone. For nine months Sarah's every move was monitored. Finally she gave birth to "X-23."
Raised in captivity, X-23 was trained to be a weapon. She lived in prison-like conditions, held in a bare white room with no decoration or furniture. Her showers came at the end of a cold fire hose, usually administered by Rice. She was subjected to numerous horrible abuses and a lack of stimulation for anything other than fighting. Kinney did her best to ensure the child retained some semblance of humanity, but her efforts appeared to be in vain. X-23 rarely spoke, or expressed much interest in her mother, who was forced to reject any emotional advance the girl might make, such as laying her head in her mother's lap.
After seven years, Rice had X-23 subjected to radiation poisoning in order to activate her mutant gene. He brutally extracted her claws, coated them with adamantium, and re-inserted them into her body. Next, Rice created a chemical compound he called "trigger scent." Upon smelling it, X-23 was driven into a berserker rage. The test of this came when they put the trigger scent on a sword, which forced X-23 to kill her kindly teacher, who had been one of the few people to treat her like a human being.
It is revealed that X-23 was subjected to exercises in which she reproduced Wolverine's moves, fighting multiple enemies in sync with a hologram of him from his days in the Weapon X project. She was trained by a woman named Kimura, a mutant who X-23 was unable to harm. It was decided soon after that she was ready for her first assassination. She was 11 years old.
X-23 was sent to kill Presidential candidate Greg Johnson. Numerous other missions followed, as X-23's services were sold to the highest bidder. Rice, in an attempt to avenge his father's murder, abandoned X-23 on a particularly dangerous mission, but she survived against overwhelming odds and managed to make her way back to the facility
In the end, Kinney proved herself little better than the others. When her sister Debbie's daughter Megan was abducted by a serial killer, Sarah took X-23 from the facility (without permission) to rescue her niece. She lead her to Debbie's house, where X-23 climbed the wall to Megan's room and picked up the abductor's scent. She tracked them back to the killer's apartment, posed as a girl scout, and killed the captor and saved Megan. Sarah injected her niece with a sedative, promising she wouldn't remember anything when she woke up. Upon returning to the project, Sarah was fired by Sutter, and ordered to leave the facility.
When Rice assigned X-23 to eliminate Sutter and his family, X-23's humanity showed for the first time: she killed Sutter and his wife without hesitation, but she spared their son Henry (who was actually Rice's son from an extra-marital affair). Satisfied, Rice spirited her back to the facility, ordering her not to breathe a word of her mission. However, X-23 ultimately revealed to Sarah that Rice was responsible for the murders.
As a parting shot, Rice revealed to Sarah a chamber containing dozens of incubation pods: X-24 through X-50. Sarah prepared to leave the facility, and drafted a letter to her daughter. Before fleeing the facility with X-23, Kinney tasked her with one final mission; destroy the pods and kill Rice. She succeeded, killing everything that stood in her way. However, Rice exposed Kinney to the trigger scent, allowing him to exact revenge on her from beyond the grave. The scent drove X-23 into a murderous frenzy that resulted in the death of her mother. As she lay dying, Kinney named X-23 Laura, and gave her the letter she had written, (as well as pictures of Xavier, Wolverine, and the Institute for Gifted Youngsters).
It is then revealed that X-23 went to San Francisco, tracking down Megan and Debbie. She introduced herself as Sarah's daughter, and moved in with them. Megan was experiencing nightmares about her abduction; her family believed these to be utter fantasies. X-23 told Megan the truth about the man she was having nightmares about — that he was real, and she had killed him.
