X-23 8 TARGET X

My version of MARVEL's X-23.

Ever since I first saw X-23 in Uncanny X-Men #450 she quickly became one of my favorite characters. She easily knocked off Wolverine (her genetic progenitor) as my favorite character to draw. She's is as hard as Wolverine with none of his whinyness, if you've been reading his latest stuff you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong Wolverine is still cool but he's always brooding about his past and since he got his memory back, don't get me started. He's just not the smart-mouthing, cigar smoking badass he used to be. X-23 is simply a stone cold killer (read her self-titled origin, you'll see what I mean) not some amnesiac with claws trying to come to grips with his past. My version of X-23 has one major difference from her official canon, my X-23 has a spiked or a fauxhawk hairstyle. Reason, Wolverine has about the wildest hairstyles around; I figure so would his cloned daughter. I mean look at his son.
