Summary

In Episode 65 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Zoe Tunnell (Blade Maidens) deploy their foot claws with Laura Kinney, the All-New Wolverine! Introduced as X-23, a female clone of Wolverine (it's complicated), Laura debuted in the popular cartoon X-Men: Evolution before becoming a vital part of the comics universe. After Logan's death (he got better!), she adopted his codename and now serves on the flagship X-Men team.

The CEREBRO character file on X-23/Wolverine begins at 57:08.

(Content Advisory: Laura's story includes child abuse including child sex abuse, underage sex trafficking, self-harm, suicidal ideation and attempted suicide, brainwashing, torture, involuntary body modification, and a lot of other pretty grim stuff.)
