Warning : SPOILERS forX-23 # 10
The Wolverine familyisn’t known for their sunny dispositions and fun moves - weaponized clones are n’t on the dot felicitous hoi polloi , it seems . However , this hebdomad , Marvel Comicsgave the sunny member of the Wolverine fellowship a chance to have some fun with a classical Logan move : the Fastball Special . WhileLogan himself is meddlesome broodily being resurrect , andDaken has been barbequed on a boat , X-23 ( Laura Kinney ) and Honey Badger ( Laura ’s sister - clon - Aaron Montgomery Ward Gabby ) have problems of their own ; an army of cyborg X-23 ringer !
Yup , that ’s right ; Marvel is not done with X-23 and clone sagas . InX-23 # 10 , Laura and Gabby have already discovered that someone is making cyborg clones of them , and that this ca n’t possibly be a good affair . This week , the duo discover that Robert Chandler ( long - time evil operator of X23 ) is the man behind it , and in their battle to demolish the clones and take him down , Gabby gets to team up with one of the knockoff to rock a FastBall Special .
The plot line itself is the usual mad - scientist - clone good ; Chandler has created bionic woman X-23 clones that do n’t bring around , so that they will die after carrying out an assassination mission . No sluttish ends for the client , and a ' product ' that Chandler can keep producing . adorable . Obviusly , X-23 and Honey Badger ca n’t let this extend , so while Laura takes on Chandler , Gabby and their adept - Cyborg - clon determine a way of life to take out a storage warehouse full of killer . Starting by get Gabby up to a upright ol' fashioned red putting to death switch , which just so happens to be leisurely to get to if undecomposed - Cyborg sky Gabby up there , Wolverine and Colossus style .
It ’s a antic moment in an otherwise fairly ho - hum comic ( Marvel may want to give Laura someone new to battle , for a while . Clones can only take a comedian so far . ) , and one that reminds rooter of all thebest fastball second in Wolverine ’s chronicle . More than that , it ’s a wonderfully lighthearted moment ( aggregate clone U. S. Army notwithstanding ) , and long - time fan will revalue that Gabby , unlike Logan , is n’t give out to glare her way through a fastball special . Nope , this untested fellow member of the Wolverine family get it on every second of the key signature move .
Gabby ’s gleeful facial expression as she ’s tossed through the air is also a great example of the way that her excitation over being a superhero balances Laura ’s more Logan - esque demeanor . Now that original - formula - skunk bear is back in Ithiel Town , it would be wild to see him and Gabby together - a healing factor threefold act that could bestow some real lightness to the Wolverines of Marvel Comics . Whether or not that will materialize is yet to be see , but in the interim , devotee can just enjoy the return of this signature move .
