Okay so for the past few years I have written original character ideas for the 616 universe (mainstream). After these years I have decided to do one for 1610 (Ultimate). My first venture is Laura Kinney, X-23. I know its not original but she is not in ultimate universe so I wanted to put her there. Below is my shortened history for Laura. She is still a mutant and has the same powers as the 616 Laura.

Laura Kinney is the daughter of Wolverine and Dr. Sarah Kinney. Her parents meet in the early 90’s at a bar and had a brief romance that lead to her birth.

Much of her childhood was ordinary, but at the age of thirteen, after finding out about her father, she began to rebel. She acted out stealing, using drugs, and associating with criminals.

She discovered she was a mutant at the age of fifteen when she was tried her the drug Banshee for the first time. The drug caused her bone claws to painfully unsheathe through her knuckles and feet. She was scared at first, but soon found it cool.

She started using her powers in other activities, namely muggings and armed robberies. The only time she was shy about using her powers was when she was around her mother, who was a mutant xenophobe.

Laura revealed her powers to her mother when she got into a fight with her mother’s boyfriend, who tried to rape her. He came into Laura’s room while she was sleeping and pulled the sheets away. When he got on top of her, Laura screamed and struggled but the man just wouldn't stop. Enraged Laura drew her claws and stabbed him in the knee with a claw on her foot. When the man let go of her hand, she stabbed him in the chest. He mother came in then to see her covered in blood and her boyfriend bleeding to death in the corner. Laura tried to explain but her mother didn't care, calling her a “mutant slut”. Laura ran out of the house as her mother called the police.

Living on the streets, with the only remnant of her past life being a picture she stole of her mother and the man she knew as her father. She blamed him for all this, claiming it was his fault for leaving that she turned out like she did. She swore to track him down and kill him.
