X-23

X-23, also known as Laura Kinney, Laura X, Talon and Captain Universe, is a major character in Marvel-licensed games. She is voiced by Tara Strong in the English localizations of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.
== Biography ==
X-23 was developed as the twenty-third clone in the Weapon X program to recreate Wolverine. After the initial twenty-two male chromosome failures, Dr. Sarah Kinney proposed to use the female chromosome, which she was allowed to proceed with. Dr. Xander Rice, opposed to the idea, forces Kinney to act as a surrogate mother to the embryo. For the next nine months, Sarah Kinney is monitored until she gives birth to "X-23".
== Personality ==
X-23 was initially calm and quiet, however, she has begun to become darker and more complex. She often speaks with perfect grammar and rarely uses slang, due to her origins from the Facility, a controlled-environment.
More recently, she has become brighter, but still showcases her character's cold, no-nonsense attitude.
== Appearances ==
=== X-Men: The Official Game ===
In X-Men: The Official Game, she appears as a boss in the Game Boy Advance version. She faces the X-Men in the Alkali Lake facility in the same room where Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike face in X2. X-23 mistakes the intentions of X-Men as trying to kidnap her, however, after her defeat, the X-Men and herself part ways friendly.
=== Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds ===
In X-23's ending, she is shown gloating to Wolverine about the defeat of Galactus, saying that he never beat an intergalactic world eater. Wolverine then asks her to get Galactus off his lawn. 
== Etymology ==
X-23 is named after the Weapon X program. In the program, she was the twenty-third specimen to be used and the only successful one.
