[18] In 2018, Laura—once again under the mantle of Wolverine—and her sister Gabby Kinney joined Jean Grey's X-Men Red team, written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Mahmud Asrar.

[20][21][22][23] During the Krakoan Age, as part of the Dawn of X relaunch of all X-Men-related titles, Laura joined the newest Fallen Angels series written by Bryan Edward Hill and drawn by Szymon Kudranski.

[29][30][31] In the Destiny of X relaunch, Laura (as Wolverine) had a starring role in the X-Terminators (2022) five-issue limited series by writer Leah Williams and artist Carlos Gómez.

The new ongoing series centers on Laura and several other mutant young adults – Kamala Khan, Anole, Prodigy and Sophie Cuckoo – attempting to adapt to life in New York City in the post-Krakoan Age.

[60] She later returns to help the X-Men save victims of a car accident, after which she is enrolled at the Xavier Institute and assigned a room with Rachel Summers and Kitty Pryde.

The arrival of Captain America and the super-spy Black Widow help turn the tide, with Spider-Man and Laura destroying Iron Maniac's equipment using their own version of the classic Fastball Special.

[volume & issue needed] Cyclops, assembles a new incarnation X-Force team that includes Laura, Wolverine, Wolfsbane, Caliban, Warpath, and Hepzibah.

[volume & issue needed] Following the event of "Messiah Complex", Cyclops forms a black ops incarnation of X-Force to deal with threats preemptively.

This leads Cable to sacrifice himself, allowing his techno-organic virus to overwhelm him, forcing the portal open and making it possible for the team to return to Utopia.

After nearly being killed by Apex,[83] Arcade unleashes trigger scent on all of Murderworld to send Laura in a berserker rage, at which point she injures Hazmat, as seen in the flash forward.

[86] By this point, most of Laura's body is badly burned with radiation, and she is still in this state when the competition ends and Nico, Chase, Cammi, Deathlocket, and Anachronism call Hank Pym, Abigail Brand, Maria Hill, Captain Britain, and Wolverine to pick up the kids.

[97] Iron Man finds information in Mister Sinister's database which reveals that part of her genetic material was provided by Sarah Kinney, the scientist who created her and carried her to term.

[17] Laura (back to her Wolverine moniker, now shared with her father figure) and Gabby moved to the mutant island-nation of Krakoa, starting a new chapter in their life alongside Logan and Akihiro.

2) storyline, Laura Kinney joins young Cable and Kwannon on a hunt to find the evil Japanese spirit Apoth that is attacking mutants.

[36][115][116][37] Meanwhile, Wolverine has been similarly driven underground due to Orchis's attack and reunites with Logan, Fang (formally Daken), Aurora, Northstar and others at X-Force's new Arctic base.

[117] After the Sabretooth Army is driven away from the Arctic Base but manage to slaughter many of its inhabitants and abduct Laura, Logan falls into despair and Aurora mourns Fang's death, which is rendered permanent as Krakoa's Resurrection Protocols are no longer an option.

Like Wolverine, Laura's primary mutant ability is an accelerated healing factor that allows her to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissues with far greater speed, efficiency, and finality than ordinary humans are capable of.

[volume & issue needed] Laura's mutant healing factor heightened her physical senses, speed, agility, reflexes/reactions, balance, and endurance to superhuman levels.

She has also been subjected to conditioning in which a specific "trigger scent" has been used to send her into a berserker rage, killing anything in sight; Emma Frost is unsure if this will ever be fully suppressed.

Logan acts protectively towards Laura and seems to have her well-being at heart, such as when he openly voiced his disapproval of Cyclops putting her on X-Force; he, however, did not force her to leave, though he told Gambit that he thinks he should have.

Prior to the Secret Wars storyline, Laura began a relationship with the time-displaced teenaged Warren Worthington III, which persisted after she took on the Wolverine codename.

[36][115][116][37] Alex Schlesinger, for Screen Rant in 2022, called their reunion "a truly heartwarming one, with the intense and ancient love between Everett and Laura on full display, but because this is happening in an X-Men comic fans of the couple shouldn't get too hopeful, as the future of this tragic romance is still yet to be revealed".

[140] Following the death of Talon's body in X-Men #30 (January 2024), Robert Wood of Screen Rant commented that "Synch and Laura's relationship has been filled with heartache and tragedy, and this final twist of the knife confirms things will get worse before they get better – if they ever do".

[141] Jones, in his review of X-Men #31 for AIPT, felt the "emotional beats" of Laura and Synch's final conversation was a bit empty and that the creative team's focus was on addressing the problem of Talon existence as a character.

[142] Jamie Lovett of ComicBook.com stated, "X-23 is one a great handful of crossover characters who began in animation and were so well-liked by fans that they eventually made their way into comics.

"[144] Maddy Myers of The Mary Sue said, "The reason why X-23's story is compelling to me is not because she's a grim-dark teen killing machine, although that did speak to me when I was a depressed teenage girl.

Tom Taylor, who's made a name for himself with mad violent stories like DC's "Injustice: Gods Among Us", knows how to ratchet up tension and deliver a high caliber action sequence, which is what you get in the first issue.

"[169] Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave X-23 #1 a grade of 8.2 out of 10, writing, "Of the many comics revealed as part of Marvel's Fresh Start relaunch, X-23 seemed the least appealing at first glance.

Having been captured by Mister Sinister and held prisoner in one of his labs, Kirika is later found by Magneto, who grafts adamantium to her claws at her request,[172][173] before she is killed by Wolverine.

This version was created by the Evolutionaries, an occult and scientific group that had been using and killing mutants in an attempt to find one to serve as a vessel for the demon Mephicton (a fusion of Mephisto and Chthon).
