I'd like to know about the time gap between Wolverines20 and ANW1, she some how got her healing factor back. There alot you can fit in that gap(I'd also like it if we found out who or what weapon 11 and the other missing projects)
Also for her appearance in spiderman, Taylor said he didn't have anything planned for the first arc
I always have wanted to see more on the hellmark Laura received
for some reason I was expecting Laura and Gabby to be new neighbors for Peter before reading this. lol
Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever see that. If Marvel was interested in actually building up to her being Wolverine they would have done it. They made the deliberate choice to just toss her into the cowl with no development.
Hell, I still want the gap between Arena and ANXM plugged. We have NO idea how she ended up in the hands of the Purifiers, or how she got out of Logan's care (or why he didn't even bother trying to find her when she disappeared).
Yeah, hard same. I even changed my avatar for the first time since I joined, though part of me feels like I should keep showing out for Songbird haha. I like way too many sidelined characters, but X-23, fortunately not among the sidelined characters, is my favourite. Though it does look like she's judging my posts...
I hope Olortegui stays on for a good run (great hair and dynamism, the two crucial parts of comics art haha), to get a chance to really lock in and also because it would be nice to have an artist complete at least the majority of two consecutive X-23 arcs!
That's easy to theorize. At the end of Arena, she was disorientated having been irradiated by Hazmat, because a trigger scent affected Laura breached her containment suit. The result was a dose of amnesia. That's when the Purifiers were able to grab her. I don't think the gap is very long at all, possibly only a day or two (that would explain why Logan didn't find her - not enough time to figure out what had happened). After all, why would the Purifiers bother shaving her head? Her baldness can be explained by Hazmat basically giving her a chemotherapy overdose. Once back with the X-Men, Laura was back to normal within a day.

Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
I always figured it was the radiation burn as well. I believe the purifiers even taunt Laura about the events in arena.
it was never explained which is why the timeline is in flux. personally i always had the idea that Logan and the majority of the heroes took the kids to Florida after picking them in Antarctica to get treated, and since Laura just had half of her body blasted away from the radiation from hazmat she took longer to heal. eventually she recovered enough to regain consciousness but not her memory so she operated on basic instincts to escape where she started running on the streets and eventually she was discovered by purifiers and Kitty with the time displaced x-men. the timing does work because it would mean as soon as Kitty and the original x-men leave Logan would have been called about what happened to Laura and went immediately. yet this creates the problem of where was logan and why wasn't he looking for her because to me Logan would never leave Laura's side if this were the case.
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."
