Art is MUCH improved over EotS. But WTF is with Laura's face on the last page?

@ambaryerno: Heck of I know, probably overwhelming, multiple gunshots coming right at her and Gabby. :P

@ambaryerno: Getting shot doesn't tickle. That's why she's getting a new costume.

Plus, Laura may have her own healing factor going on for her, but it's not as fast as Logan's (dead Logan, not Old Man). It would make sense for someone like Laura, who gets hurt a lot, and heals much faster than others, but not quite as fast as her namesake, to wear body armor to lessen the impact.

Laura's healing factor has LONG been established as faster than Logan's.

And "Bullets Hurt" doesn't explain the DERP face she's making here.

did she get hit in the vulva? ouch

I don't care how much her body has regenerated before. That's got to feel strange, lol.

@xXRedTokyoXx: haha I'd make that same face people are complaining about.

it is faster than logan's actually

Ok so a comet is coming towards them and the gunmen go 'hey look intruders Alert!'

Thank god these gunmen are just in comics cause if i was a kingpin of crime and all this happened i would have said 'WTF are you doing! Get us out of here or brace for impact you dumb schmucks' or if i was gonna get it i would have reference a last quote like 'Fly you Fools' or 'Clever girl' but more likely i would have said this 'c'est la vie'.

Seriously people will just leave what they are doing to get out of there. Why do your job?

I quite like this scenario, and quite glad Laura and Gabby are able to pull through it.

@coffeeprince29: I was thinking the exact same thing lol

@ambaryerno: How is this fake Wolverine healing factor faster than the original Wovlerine ? Laura is a clone synthetic version , not created by Apocalypse or anyone using Celestial like Devices it was by a broken down organization trying to pick up after Various Weapon X Mess ups & shut downs ., Mind you the sample that they used for Deadpool & Laura was an old sample from Wolverine before he even joined Xmen before his Healing factor boosted after the events of Magneto / elektra story line . Ontop of that You cant reverse engineer a Mutant Gene as it was established in main continuity by Characters like Reed Richards , Beast & Forge you can only synthesize a cheap copy that wont last that long . But if you want you can read the Legacy Virus Story plot which went into detail about the Mutant Gene ., so i suggest you do your research before spewing stuff as if you know what your talking about .

...till then ..

There's nothing synthetic about Laura's healing factor. They duplicated Logan's X chromosome to create her. As a result, Laura's DNA is completely, totally, 100% Logan's, which means their mutations are virtually identical (with Laura's foot claws being sexually dimorphic, and the result of her gender). BIOLOGICALLY they would heal at roughly the same rates. However you're also forgetting that it's been established that Logan's adamantium skeleton slows his ability to heal because he's constantly fighting adamantium poisoning. Only Laura's claws are bonded, which mean she's not compromised to the same extent.

This is all coming right from the books themselves, so maybe you should do your own research before throwing those sorts of insults around.

@ambaryerno:

First off you missed the point you cannot " Duplicate Mutated Genes " because there is no reverse engineering to it , as established by Reed Richards, Forge / Beast & Countless Legacy Virus Story plots , so replicating Wolverine healing is far fetch especially " 100 percent his healing factor . Hence the whole sending Cable to the Future would of not happened if they knew how to replicate Wolverines healing factor mind you the Xmen have Forge , Beast & Shi'ar tech to do so & they couldn't ..

Reed Richards could not replicate Wolverines healing factor in current dates during that whole Death of Wolverine Story by failing to create a serum .

The Best they could do is Create a synthetic version & we all know Synthetic versions are not 100 percent & dont even last long .

like Replicants in a BladeRunner Movie .

Now as your Adamantium poison theory , all that does is enhance his healing factor for if it keeps fighting it , his power stunt of recovery and healing would adapt and sustain him to keep fighting it , like a normal human would be resistant to certain bacteria every time your exposed to it , Now During Bendis & quesada nurfin of the Marvel Universe they exaggerated on the Adamantium poison for the fact that Magneto Removed the Adamantium and Wolverine Rejected an adamantium bonding process tried by Genesis , Cable's son from the future .& failed meaning his Healing factor went into further Uncharted levels way after they extracted the blood sample they used for Deadpool & Laura .

It was later after Elektra opened Wolverines Mind to accept and adapt to control his Healing factor he was later abducted by Apok and was re-laced with adamantium due to Apok Greymalkin tech access which further speculates whether his adamantium was rebonded or did Apok enhance his regeneration to the point he actually now can regenerate admantium because its content was in his bones for so long it adapted to it & it became part of his system .

Either Apok / Horseman Magic device Relaced him or He further boosted His Healing factor to actually regenerate adamantium is just speculation but proves these events were way after the sample they took to create the Deadpool / Laura subjects .

Now if she was replicated from Wolverine DNA , how she came out to be female ? that would take some sort of alteration that would further sabotage the original strain they took thus making it less than 100 percent & then the claws coming out of her feet which is ridiculous , Jim Valentino created an official offspring of Wolverine called Rancor in the original run of Guardians of the Galaxy and she did not have claws popping out of her feet .

No one really knows how logan got his claws it is just speculation , he could of been born with it or it could of been added by Dark Wind during the Weapons X Project being that 3 bladed claws were something Asian people used as a farming tool ..

So no i dont think Laura healing factor is even near Wolverines Uncharted levels due to she is a synthetic version created by a group that had way less resources than those who actually tried to replicate wolverines healing a long time ago & even in present storyplots .

..please do more research you sound like those Noob posers that just picked up a comicbook yesterday in the Broth of Bendis & quesada Nurfin stew.

,... till then .,

@loganx360 Just stop talking, seriously. You clearly established you have no clue whatsoever about ANY of these characters.

They didn't "duplicate mutant genes." They didn't reverse engineer shit. They took samples of Logan's X-chromosome, and recombined them together to form a viable zygote. THAT is why she was female, just like how EVERY OTHER (non-trans) WOMAN ON THE PLANET IS FEMALE. XX = Female. XY = Male. It's BASIC BIOLOGY. Open up a goddammed textbook. And while you're at it, read X-23: Innocence Lost, where the process was detailed (incidentally, the group that created her was working with material salvaged BY Weapon X employees. Laura's specific genetic sample was recovered by one of the scientists Logan killed during his escape, and went directly into the hands of Martin Sutter upon finding his body. Sutter in turn founded the Facility as a civilian splinter of the original program). Attempts at a direct XY clone failed due to damage on the Y chromosome, so the geneticist in charge of the cloning attempt proposed duplicating the X to make a female, since the X chromosome was intact. In fact this is why Laura isn't actually a clone at all; biologically she's his twin sister (or more accurately, the parthenogenic daughter of Elizabeth Howlett).

Rancor is irrelevant: She's an alternate universe future character (Earth-691). Laura exists in Earth-616. DIFFERENT UNIVERSES, different rules. Laura's claw arrangement being the result of her gender is also direct word of god from her creators, Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost.

And yes, it IS known how Logan got his claws. He was born with bone claws (revealed after Fatal Attractions when Magneto ripped out his adamantium, confirmed in Wolverine Origins). The Weapon X program merely bonded the existing claws with adamantium.

@ambaryerno: lol they took / salvage samples from a wreckage that most likely did not have a 100 percent blood purity sample , you do know how doctors take blood samples they extract blood from you and into a specific glass container to retain its purity , so loose blood drops after a battle scene that who knows how long it took for a recovery team to discover and actually separate Wolverines blood from the dozens of other blood gushers from dead guards and scientists ... wow thats pretty far fetched lol . , but i'm going by what you say is X-23 origin .

So you're the one who needs Biology Classes & Books and while you're at it get a tutor too.

You do know that reverse engineering is completely breaking down the subject contents to the point of replicating or / and manipulating it , without Reverse Engineering you cannot experiment for you do not know how that subject sample works .

Rancor is relevant for she was created by a real marvel writer with background continuity not just some Random DC comics writer stepping in making a mess of story plot devices Rancors Story line is so more relevant than x-23 fake Ultimate / 616 scrambled Eggs and Doom Battle world ham crap . Plus all of Rancors Drawings is 100 times better than X-23's artwork .

As far for Logan Claws , they are blades actually claws come out of your finger tips .

In Marvel comic presents , way before all this 2004 Quesada / Bendis Mess they always had Wolverine with Native Americans without his claws before The weapon X program , in so many issues . This is Actual Comicbook Continuity , & then after the events of Magneto they added that his " Blades " were still with him as part of his bones , which is not that bad because after the Weapon X enhancements they could of been part of him by then , but the 3 blades origin is Asian Farming tool hence the reason why Dark Wind would add 3 blades to Logan as a Weapon being that Weapon X program enhances mutant for killing purposes . There is no reason for a Mutant to be Born with Blades on his hands , it was always hinted that the Blades were later on created by Dark Wind during the Adamantium Bonding Process , this New " Origin " that he was born with " Blade / Claws " was a later 2004 storyline not a real origin ,

..So yeah X-23 only having 2 blades on her hands & 1 blade on her foot is ridiculous , cause X-23 is a clone she would have clone ball sacks from Wolverines Original Gene cause they cannot manipulate a Mutant Blood sample they do not understand how to manipulate . Once again you missed the point , Reed Richards , The Beast & Forge , cannot Reverse Engineer Mutant Genes like that so no low-level Scientist with no special abilities can pull that off .

You should go take one of Moira MacTaggert Classes who endlessly tried to help her Mutant Son & could not because there was " NO REVERSE ENGINEERING " mutant genes

...till then ..

Yyyyyeah, you just keep enjoying your fanfiction.

@ambaryerno: Hope you enjoyed my Mutant Genes 101 classes , i hope the Marketing tool story plot devices Bendis & Quesada scrambled into your mind for Sabotaging & Nurf purposes doesn't refrain your brain from actually exploring and learning the true believers marvel guide to continuity & Uncanny Xmen Story boards .

So please stop the wiki & actually read the comics .

...till then ..

Make Mine Marvel .

Actually read the comics? Ok, let me directly quote a few lines from the comics to prove that X-23 heals faster.

X-23 Innocence Lost 2 (after X-23's claws are coated in adamantium)

Sarah Kinney: "Her healing factor surpasses the data we have on the original Weapon X. The adamantium must affect it."

This is from X-23's origin story, written by her creators.

New X-Men 48 (after Wolverine is shot in the head, scrambler screws with his powers, and then X-23 rushes by and cuts off both of Scrambler's hands)

X-23: "You heal too slow"

Wolverine: "So you keep telling me"

Notice Wolverine didn't protest.

Avengers Arena 13 (Hank Pym talking to Wolverine about how X-23 is one of the missing kids)

Wolverine: "The kid's healing factor is stronger than mine."

Straight from Wolverine's own mouth. Also not written by one of X-23's creators. That's also important.

Not smart to tell someone to actually read the comics when the comics themselves completely refute your argument.

@healed1337 You're wasting your breath. He left his brain somewhere back in the 90s.

@healed1337:

You do realize these are non Marvel Writers , Random Dc Writers jumping in the Marvel Universe to hijack & nurf franchise characters after DcComics New52 flopped hard same time The GreenLantern Movie flopped Harder

Like the person who wrote " The Death of Wolverine " was the Writer from WonderWoman right , i hope you knew that .

Plus the evidence of what they did To Bruce Banner to now a " Korean " hulk... cmon

Now the fact that every " X-23 content " that has Wolverine " Admitting " she heals fast is just a Marketing tool device to get the readers hype about X-23 fake replicant healing factor , technically she shouldn't be able to even heal faster than sabertooth let alone Wolverine , if that was the case , Weapon X would of not gone through all that trouble kidnapping Wolverine for the Adamantium Bonding process for that they could of just augmented Sabertooths healing factor , but because they couldn't reverse engineer " MUTANT GENES " that could of not had happened .

But lets continue with Wolverine admitting X-23 heal fast ....really wolverine saying that ? he wouldn't give a compliment like that not even if Nightcrawler bamf him out of a Avalanch . that in itself lets me know how much you have read Wolverine / Xmen content . with that ridiculous adolescent version of Wolverine saying " Her healing is faster than mine " you serious ...lol

All the content your referring to is Archie-bumble gum stuff from random writers , none from any of the Xmen / Wolverine / New Mutants Creators or continuity writer .so they can write and say X-23 is stronger than superman for all they want that holds no credibility for they have no continuity in writing for marvel like marc silvistri or Peter David or even Bob harras .

So please get some real content ., your reading all this " X-23 " hype of marketing tool so they wont have to pay actual Marvel writers Franchise fees for Hollywood future movies .

Oh & btw if Lauras healing factor was so better than Wolverine then she would of rejected The Adamantium bonding process faster than how Wolverine Rejected the Adamantium when Genesis tried applying it to him ... , so yes go read some real comics .

...till then ..
