What's it about?
X-23 was going to be a clone of Wolverine, but when the scientists tried to copy the only DNA sample they had, they discovered the Y part of his XY chromosome was damaged beyond repair. One scientist, Sarah Kinney, decided to strip out the Y chromosome and copy the X. So X-23 was created, more of a twin than a clone.
She has Wolverine's healing factor, she has his claws, his sense of smell and sad to say, his experience of horror and abuse. For X-23 is created in a lab to be the perfect weapon. Trained to fight and injure and kill from a young age, from the age of 12 she is sent out on assassination missions as a killer for hire. Innocence Lost is the story of her creation, her upbringing and her fight to break free of the system.
