i actually feel bad for Laura after all that she had to go through then she lost the two people that treated her human her sensei and eventually her mom
Laura really is one of Marvel's best characters IMO. It'd really be something if they went Old Man Logan/New Wolverine in the movies. Those foot claws would be tough live action though.
It's funny how Wolverine considers his clone to be a "daughter", but when Spidey was cloned, him and Ben considered themselves to be "brothers" instead
Laura is not his clone but his biological daughter. Tony stark later reveals in the comics that Laura has 50% dna of Sarah Kinney and 50% dna of Logan, making her his and sarah's biological daughter.
@@laurakinney3767 If something similar happened to me, I would consider my " clone " to be a son/ daughter instead of a brother or sister especially if there was an appropriate age gap, like how laura pretty much considers gabby to be her daughter. Gabby even subtly mentions that she sees laura as a mother figure too. when she meets old man Logan she tells him that he,s like her dystopian future grandfather. I dont think she calls her mom because at this point, it would just be awkward. I can see laura responding to that like " .... eeehh, no. Calling me mom now is too weird. I,d never be able to get used to it after letting you call me laura all this time. if I had raised you from birth, then you could call me mom, but if you call me that now, it,ll seem forced, like you have to do it. I didn't call logan dad and we got along fine. he never pushed me to call him that, so I didn't. "
Krazy Stargazer I dotn care about society. I do what I love. which is playing games. and collecting figures and plushes. its my hobby. and I love it society can't come and arrest me can they?
I highly doubt that wolverine will just "oh so you are my daughter?? Come and hug me" Can you please make a complete story of their reunion/meeting? I think it will be cool. And like some comment below, please make more of X-23.. She is my mutant crush.. :p
Actually, he's unusually harsh and severe with her, probably because she reminds him a lot of himself, therefore he projects on her his own self-loathing.
ljaquos Read her comics. She has had two self-titled series that were both amazing. Her adventures in x-force have her as a killer, new x-men where she was an outcast, avengers academy where she was finally accepted. Don't read her in all new x-men or wolverines as they have not developed her at all.
Adamatronamus Actually, Wolverines has developed her character in subtle but important ways. She grew more confident and outspoken as she became increasingly fed up with Mystique's BS. There's also the sub plot of her trying to get closer to Daken, as she feels like he's the only family she has left. Wolverines has been a very good book for X-23 fans. I will, however, second the notion that being in All New X-Men hasn't really done much for her. She got a new costume and started dating Angel, but that's pretty much it. I wouldn't say not to read it, because it's a damn good book in general, but if you're specifically looking for X-23 stories it's highly skipable. She was also in Avengers Arena, but nothing really important happened there for her.
Thanks for doing this one. The first comic I bought back in 2006 when I got back into comics after several years of not reading them was the X-23/Captain Universe issue. She's been a bit of a personal favorite ever since, and I'm really glad they're making her the new Wolverine.
This was a special one, my first comicstorian video, many years ago, the one that introduced me to one of my favorite characters and to superhero comics. Ben was always so good at these dramatic readings. He will be missed. My heart goes out to his friends and family.
It was my first too, as well as my favorite of his. I started reading comics because of this video. X-23 became my favorite Marvel character because of this video. I still have a drawing of her in my room that I got from an artist at comic-con in 2018 because of this video. Thank you, Benny.
Does anybody know if x-23 going to be in a movie reason why I ask is that since Hugh Jackman is going to retire as Wolverine it be a good time to introduce X 23.
damn this story was heartbreaking , and seeing how x23s life began and how she moved on front his and became a hero .this makes x23s on of my favorite marvel heroes
When they finally reboot the X-Men cinematic universe, they should make X-23 the flagship for the stand alone films; have her journey for her "father" carry her into other films like Deadpool, Gambit, ect..
Thank you so much for doing this, my girlfriends ,set next to me and watch this story with me and started to cry . Now we going to the comic store to get all the x23 we can fine. Thanks again :)
I like X-23 she is not a bad person but they where making her a bad person but she did everthing and she is going to be awesome in logan the rated R Marvel movie for my rated R Marvel movies collection
b1merio When we looked up this story, its the one that came up for her meeting Wolverine. So we planned the whole thing out and picked up the trade to reread it and realized, there is no Wolverine. lol Its still his daughter though!
Thanks for the origin narrative this character came along after I stopped collecting comics on a regular basis. Good story that's why I'm a Marvel fan.
X-23 is a serious badass, but even though Wolverine is dead for bullshit reasons (aside from Old Man Logan), she will always the the second best at what she and Wolverine do, abd what they do isn't very nice.
I picked this trade up when it first came out. I liked how they used the time intervals to show how efficient she was. It is a bit crazy how they made her story even darker than Wolverine's. Great job on the script and reed @comicstorian.
This is great. I've actually been a pretty big fan of X-23 since the X-Men Evolution tv series, but when I got into reading comics I never really found any good stories to read and went on to read about a lot of other characters. I was really upset that she became a member of the All-New X-Men, even though she was the perfect Wolverine replacement for that team of young mutants it just felt cheap, like the writers didn't really know what to do with her and were like "just shuffle her off with the other teen mutants." Though it's a sad tale I really enjoyed this story. Hopefully she turns up in Secret Wars because I am eagerly awaiting her being a bigger part of post-Secret Wars Marvel Universe.
I like this origin better than her original 1 from the X-men Evolution cartoon (which she originated from). I'm glad to see more Marvel content on this channel & hope to see more X-men stories retold.
I would love to learn more about this character. Like the relationship between Laura and Logan, I would be amazed over the fact that "Hey wolverine your a has a daughter who happens o be your clone!"
Oh god. I remember reading this whole storyline, and crying man tears afterwards. X-23 is easily on my top 5 list, one reason being is that her origin hits you right in the feels...
I know it's a bit of a long shot but any chance on covering Secret Invasion, Dark Reign and Siege? The later two were some of my faves, in addition to Taskmaster: Unthinkable would be nice to cover as well!
I love X-23
Just wish they made better storys for her
I am very bad at spelling names, and I didn't feel like googling.
But, yeah she is Laura and she is not a weapon!
mikeshogunlee Yea, but she does still go by X-23 as well.

*WILL THE COMMENT SECTION MAKE UP IT'S MIND*
"What if they cloned Wolverine, and it was female"
Well... I know this is comics we're talking about, but that's not how cloning works.
Saransh Khanna lol
At the least it tried to stay close to the actual concept of cloning, so I do applaud it for that.
^Saransh Khanna ...exactly...more likely artificial insemination than cloning...or a 1night hump nobody remembers lol 😹
Im not crying i just have something in both of my eyes.
+batboyshark Same.
gon killua kirapika what are u guys doing here
+Savage Beast Hiding from the Bomb Devils XD
+batboyshark And that's Bisky not Kurapika.
***** i knew that...ha...ha..ha
Happy Father's Day! We felt a sad story would work... Have you seen the All New Marvel? Shes the new Wolverine!
Say whaaaaaaaa
Comicstorian Awesome Video Benny, I Really Wanted To Learn Her Origin Before She Gets Her Own Run As The New Wolverine.
Comicstorian Is Logan still dead? :(
monatu8 Right now he is, they've shown an older one as coming back though
Thought secret wars is like Flashpoint :/
i actually feel bad for Laura after all that she had to go through then she lost the two people that treated her human her sensei and eventually her mom
after the Logan movie i want to see this as " X-Men Origins: X-23 "
Laura really is one of Marvel's best characters IMO. It'd really be something if they went Old Man Logan/New Wolverine in the movies. Those foot claws would be tough live action though.
i'm not crying it's raining inside for some reason.
Someone din't turn off the bathroom?
Pipe leaking?
I'm not crying you're crying.
Joke Arson Guys, need a hug?
It's funny how Wolverine considers his clone to be a "daughter", but when Spidey was cloned, him and Ben considered themselves to be "brothers" instead
They wolverine and Laura are a huge age gap and he has banged plenty of women
Laura is not his clone but his biological daughter. Tony stark later reveals in the comics that Laura has 50% dna of Sarah Kinney and 50% dna of Logan, making her his and sarah's biological daughter.

"sniff" "sniff" those are not tears my eyes are just sweating
Sniff, why is it raining inside my house?
Ninjas are cutting onions again
...not gonna cry...not gonna cry...WAAAAAHAHAaaa
Seriously though X-23 is a awosome hero. She's got a cool design and backstory
we all cry sometimes
for me thats alotta times
Starlight Official
We all feel sympathy
Krazy Stargazer unless your what society calls: " a real Man"
Starlight Official
Yes apparently in this society showing any kind of emotion...no matter the circumstance is a sign of weakness
Krazy Stargazer I dotn care about society. I do what I love. which is playing games. and collecting figures and plushes. its my hobby. and I love it
society can't come and arrest me can they?
I highly doubt that wolverine will just "oh so you are my daughter?? Come and hug me"
Can you please make a complete story of their reunion/meeting? I think it will be cool. And like some comment below, please make more of X-23.. She is my mutant crush.. :p
henzaen Yep you are right, it didnt go down like that.... Maybe we'll get to it soon... lol
henzaen Wolverine has always had a bond and love for underage girls. I'd imagine it would be a field day for him.
Get to it now!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Actually, he's unusually harsh and severe with her, probably because she reminds him a lot of himself, therefore he projects on her his own self-loathing.
Okay... Now who's cutting onions
ima making the pasta 👌
+Chinedu Opara *TRIGGERED*
Thanks for the emotions~
Darrin Harvey Yea, this is a sad one
Thanks for caring. It hurts more then you think.
Aidaruus Shirwa Everyone on DBZ comes back to life
FiremanXLR not hercule he never died not even to buu
Tainer Orion Correction everyone that actually fought against Bad guys and didn't take the credit died at least once.
Is there any way we can get more of X-23?! I absolutely love her and want to hear as much about her as I can!
ljaquos Read her comics. She has had two self-titled series that were both amazing. Her adventures in x-force have her as a killer, new x-men where she was an outcast, avengers academy where she was finally accepted.
Don't read her in all new x-men or wolverines as they have not developed her at all.

I could do that buuuuut...then it doesnt get read dramatically back to me

It's too early for feels.
RIGHT
To early
Jason Lopez yeah
Jason Lopez yeah
Jason Lopez They're reelz....they're reelz....
I'm so glad you guys covered this character she is one my favorite and she also has a lot of potential.
What is this transparent liquid dripping down from my organ of sight?
cum
Ahh this is more of a fucked up Mother's Day story
Xd so tru
Still enjoyed it so it's cool.
Soooo true

not crying.. at all... i swear... *wipes tears*
You did an amazing job on this story. I love to listen to more about X-23

Thank you, Benny.
you guys should do skaar son of hulk
Yo that's what I said
that Zander guy had it coming, I share no pity for him
Logan movie is gonna be good
lol thats why im here
AlphaCureMom Thats why I'm here !
AlphaCureMom I'm here too
they'll probably change her up because Byran singer loves to ignore who these characters are from the comics
Ken Lopez Bryan Singer has nothing to do with Logan.
Do a vid about when she meets her"father"
Does anybody know if x-23 going to be in a movie reason why I ask is that since Hugh Jackman is going to retire as Wolverine it be a good time to introduce X 23.
+Chris Grey Until he got old enough to play old man logan story
+Sunny Lie I need help on old man logan
Just watch Apocalypse and wait for the post credits
It would never be a good time to introduce X-23.
Rumor has it X is going to make her debut in Wolverine 3, but so far there's no official confirmation yet.
narrator skills on point
damn this story was heartbreaking , and seeing how x23s life began and how she moved on front his and became a hero .this makes x23s on of my favorite marvel heroes
Damn I almost cried...
I really want there to be a stand alone r rated X-23 film based on this comic. Very dark and emotional story.
That's a deep story...right in the feels..
This story is really sad and its because you know how to tell it well! Great job love your channel
that was more of a kickin the feels than i expected. managed to make me tear up and that is hard to do.
Please please please please please please make a complete story of how x23 and Wolverine met
This one kills me. I read a good chunk of it, well the bits where shes with Gambit and it's the sweetest thing, it makes my heart so happy
Step 1: Lie Down
Step 2: Try Not To Cry
Step 3: Cry A Lot...
When they finally reboot the X-Men cinematic universe, they should make X-23 the flagship for the stand alone films; have her journey for her "father" carry her into other films like Deadpool, Gambit, ect..
this story broke my heart... God, Im actually tearing up, over something I know is pure fiction...
wow, this my first time looking up the origins of x23, logan is gonna be one hell of a fucking movie
Thank you so much for doing this, my girlfriends ,set next to me and watch this story with me and started to cry .
Now we going to the comic store to get all the x23 we can fine.
Thanks again :)
so the logan trailer just came out...this gonna be good
I like X-23 she is not a bad person but they where making her a bad person but she did everthing and she is going to be awesome in logan the rated R Marvel movie for my rated R Marvel movies collection
Nice, thank you so much. X-23 is one of my favorite characters. I really liked her solo series and get excited every time i see her join a team book.
X-23's origin story is defintely one of my favorite origin stories in comics ever.
You tell these stories greatly. I can really picture it
Seems like this would be more fitting for Mother's Day. Either way, really good job. I was actually tearing up by the end. Bravo.
b1merio When we looked up this story, its the one that came up for her meeting Wolverine. So we planned the whole thing out and picked up the trade to reread it and realized, there is no Wolverine. lol Its still his daughter though!
I hope Laura (X-23) meets her father, Wolverine. It would also be cool if she would afterwards work for the X-Men.
Thanks for the origin narrative this character came along after I stopped collecting comics on a regular basis. Good story that's why I'm a Marvel fan.
That was a sad tale, man, but it was great. Thanks, and please keep bringing more stories.
the feels in this video is strong
So many feels
I think someone left a bowl of chopped onions next to me because I'm crying 😭
X-23 is a serious badass, but even though Wolverine is dead for bullshit reasons (aside from Old Man Logan), she will always the the second best at what she and Wolverine do, abd what they do isn't very nice.
But she beat wolverine in a fight
I picked this trade up when it first came out. I liked how they used the time intervals to show how efficient she was. It is a bit crazy how they made her story even darker than Wolverine's.
Great job on the script and reed @comicstorian.
This is so emotional I'm literally crying.
Keep throwing in as many old man Logan stories as possible please
This is great. I've actually been a pretty big fan of X-23 since the X-Men Evolution tv series, but when I got into reading comics I never really found any good stories to read and went on to read about a lot of other characters.

Though it's a sad tale I really enjoyed this story. Hopefully she turns up in Secret Wars because I am eagerly awaiting her being a bigger part of post-Secret Wars Marvel Universe.
This is great, I hope you guys do X-23: Target X. The follow up to innocence lost. It's pretty awesome!
I like this origin better than her original 1 from the X-men Evolution cartoon (which she originated from).
I'm glad to see more Marvel content on this channel & hope to see more X-men stories retold.
I would love to learn more about this character. Like the relationship between Laura and Logan, I would be amazed over the fact that "Hey wolverine your a has a daughter who happens o be your clone!"
Anyone else here from the new Logan trailer ?
Shane ONeil me
me
I can't believe how I'm welling up over here. The Wolverine legend will always remain cursed.
This story keeps making me cry every time!
This is honestly one of my favorite stories and x-23 is actually my favorite mutant
I've learnt more from this channel than I have from my entire schooling life.
this channel deserves 10000000 subs
Really wonderful retelling of a sad story.
I think I have a thing for born weapon types, X-23, Cassandra Cain, Kula Diamond.
THIS IS AWESOME.
God, this is my favorite storyline snd I like it.
That was sad... poor laura.. good story!
Dude i have x23 comics and i just love her story so much so thank you for doing her justice
Thank you for this. I've been wondering what the story was behind X-23/Laura. A good story. Thank you.
Thanks man. You just made my Sunday even more gloomy😩😥
Loved seeing this X-23 is one of my favorite.
I really loved X-23 history, can u please can continue telling us a bit more of her, like for example when she met Logan.
Oh god. I remember reading this whole storyline, and crying man tears afterwards. X-23 is easily on my top 5 list, one reason being is that her origin hits you right in the feels...
I know it's a bit of a long shot but any chance on covering Secret Invasion, Dark Reign and Siege? The later two were some of my faves, in addition to Taskmaster: Unthinkable would be nice to cover as well!
Excellent work again Comicstorian. Thumbs up.
i hope that one day someone will make a movie
X-23 is super cool and a sad back story another epic story
i love it x-23 or laura is my favourite comic book character and please make more videos about her
The feels, bruh.
This was the most saddest comic ever.
fkng hell you made me stop breathing multiple times to not miss a single word you said. Well done sir I will now donate to x23
I want X-23 to be in the next Wolverine solo film so fucking bad and I want Chloe Grace Moretz to play her. she would be perfect.
Wow, I just went back and read this last week lol. Are you gonna do Target X and the X-23 series as well?
You're such a good storyteller!
The feels are strong with this story
I liked this video a lot I hope you do more nova stories
Damn this story is sad... one of the best marvel origin stories I've seen
I wasn't ready for these feels
x 23 is my new favorite superhero
great story thank you, Comicstorian.
dope story man, got all the info i need
That's awesome i have been asking for x23 thank you.
More about her please!
X-23 is Wolverine's biological daughter as much as she's a clone, look it up.
Came for the action, left with the feels
