X-Men - X-23 - Play Arts Kai - Variant Play Arts Kai (Square Enix)

Laura (designated as X23-23) is a mutant, artificially created by Alkali-Transigen to use as a soldier. She is also the biological daughter of Wolverine, with similar powers, including regeneration and adamantium claws.

When a top-secret program attempted to recreate the original Weapon X experiment that involved the feral mutant Wolverine, they failed to secure a test subject that could survive the bonding of the virtually unbreakable metal Adamantium to their skeleton.

to act as the surrogate mother for the clone, and she gave birth to "X-23."

Born in 2018, Laura was created along with April, Bobby, Charlotte, Delilah, Erica, Gideon, Jackson, Jamaica, Joey, Jonah, Julie, Mira, Rebecca, Rictor, Stephen, Tamara, and Tomás by Zander Rice as part of the Transigen Project. Rice used genetic samples from mutants to create new embryos that were carried by captured women. Her biological father was Wolverine, having been created with DNA samples acquired by the Alkali Lake team, and thus she shared his healing factor and retractable claws. Transigen coated her claws with adamantium but not her entire skeleton.
The mutant children were supposed to become soldiers, but were deemed failures after the creation of X-24. After the X-24 project was a success, and the X-23 Project a failure, Transigen scheduled all the other subjects for termination.

In the early 2000’s Transigen began to implement chemicals in mass produced food products such as corn syrup. These chemicals suppressed the X-Gene from being produced, effectively suppressing the births of future mutant children, ultimately leading to the near extinction of mutants over the next couple decades. However, Zander Rice the head of Transigen, did not want mutants fully extinct, he wanted their population under control. Zander began the production of his own mutants to use as soldiers, similar to the Mutant Weapon Programs.
