[Dthirds3]

Maggot Wake-Up to laura v Emma
Maggot "why is there a hole in my chest ?

Laura "take eany and run"

Emma "no let me sacrifice him"
Emma breaks lauras adamantium wrist and throws her in to the ground really hard lauras one weekness. Then uses telepathy to have islanders attack maggot.

Laura starts laughing
Emma "what's so funny, and why I'm I bleeding out?"
Laura "rember when I threaten you last issue ? Well while I was yelling at you to turn dimond I cut your femoral artery. This fight was just stress relief. You use telepathy, you'll pass out and I don't know if I'm strong enough or can find somone to drag you cheep bloated plastic ass to the healing garden, and gabby could use some nice (fake) dimond jewelry"

Emma "i hate to admite it but our people were right to make you a xmen"
Laura "I know"

Emma after running around like a lunatic screaming let me sacrifice the minor character
"This is getting me no where, ok telepathy for 1 second found you."
Kaiju eany sees Emma

Maggot "ok eany, many is eating up. Now you to"
Eany refuses to eat
Maggot "why, unless are you trying to die so old eany doset hurt me"
Eany nods
Maggot "don't worry we're family will figure this out"

Eany kaiju has arrived

Yeah that wasn’t a great Laura. Her phraseology is off, to much slang also. But with these unlimited comics I can’t hold them to that level of standard. This is more like kids smashing their toys together. At least it’s not green level of bad. That has to count for something… right?

Not green level yet..... there's still time for the murder train to reach ludicrous speed

Does she really break the bone or just dislodge it?

Because one thing i've noticed years ago was that an adamantium skeleton shouldn't protect against dislodging or seperating the bones, since those should still only be held together by organic cartilage. Which means enough force could seperate them from each other.

It's also possible that the writer of this story didn't knew Duggan had randomly decided that Laura has an adamantium skeleton now. Which wouldn't be suprising.

Yeah, I also thought about that years ago, when I realized that Wolverine should explode like a blood-filled balloon every time Hulk punched him, because having his bones coated in adamantium wouldn't prevent every joint to be destroyed... it would just mean that Wolverine's bones would be spread around at supersonic speed like adamantium projectiles...

But, since Hulk has punched Wolverine hundreds of times, and Wolverine has never exploded, I guess that means his bones are kept together with adamantium wire or something...

To be fair. Many super heros who get hit by the Hulk or similar super strength characters tend to survive these hits much more intact than what the damage they cause to non-living objects would suggest, even if they don't have super toughness as official part of their powers.
Basicly to a degree everyone in super hero comics has super natural toughness and can shrug off injuries much better than people in real life would without uncommon and uncanny luck.

Sure Spiderman or Wolverine, who have official super natural toughness, will recover much better from such hits than characters who don't have these powers officialy. But if say Cyclops gets thrown against a wall by Abomination, while there isn't a RP or readily accessible super healer to access, chances are great he will only get some broken rips at worst, instead of a shattered spine or dying.

So you can chalk up Spiderman's, Wolverine's and others non-explodiness from super strength hits to some unmentioned extremely durable tendons and cartilage that will keep their skeleton intact from common super strong hits. Unless it's characters like Deadpool where it will happen frequently for comedic effect

It's all part of the willing suspension of disbelief, not just in super hero comics, but most action oriented media.

However that of course doesn't change the fact that the adamantium skeleton has more weak spots than writers often imply, simply because how anyone with basic biology knowledge will understand (not necessarily think of it straight away) that the skeleton is held together by organic material which isn't enhanced by the metal and therefor still subjectible to harm by brute force or precise attacks.

Loving the fact that Laura hates Emma.

Why? It just a dirty mirror to stereotypical girls being bitchy to the 'bitchy' girl for no reason

They almost never show non-invulnerable heroes tanking Hulk's punches, but they have shown Wolverine going toe to toe with Hulk several times...

I love Laura. ��

Laura with her best Logan face.

Loving the fact that Laura hates Emma.

Since when has Adamantium been bonded to Laura's wrist?

Since when has Adamantium been bonded to Laura's wrist?

In the current X-men series it was eventualy revealed that Laura was given an adamantium skeleton by accident when she was revived by the five, because Protheus assumed she had one by association with Wolverine.

Some reader have in turn made the assumption that the current writer didn't knew it when he wrote Polaris using her powers to make an unconscious Laura fight like a puppet on strings and then retroactively inserted this information to cover up the mistake.

I'm trying to understand how X-23 beats Emma. Emma's Psionics move at the speed of thought, which is about 4 billionths of a second. We know Emma's psionics work on X-233, who is superhumanly fast and fights like a demon, but how does any melee DPS get a hit in on someone who merely has to think 'STOP' and she is frozen in place? Or 'DIE' and her mind shuts down. (This isn't an X-23vEmma thing, as I don't think Emma gets nearly the comeuppance she deserves for the things she's done. It is a psionics/magic vs melee DPS thing.)

IIRC, in NXM it was implied Laura has fairly strong mental defenses, as Emma mentioned to Scott it took some time to breach them and learn about her true nature.
