![]() ![]() Her renewed relationship with Synch seems to be occupying her for the time being. I don’t even want to see you.”įor now it seems Vault-Laura (who really needs a new codename) will remain with the X-Men. “I’m happy you get to live a different life, and this isn’t personal, but I don’t want to be your friend. The two then parted ways, with Vault-Laura making one final request. ![]() I’ve been Wolverine long enough,” Vault-Laura said. Revived-Laura claimed the mantle of Wolverine, which Vault-Laura conceded. Resurrected-Laura noted that this wouldn’t be an issue for her since she didn’t plan on dying anyway. They mutually agreed that if either of them died, Vault-Laura’s resurrection would take priority. The Wolverines then discussed some ground rules for their coexistence. “You know what my first thought was after I was resurrected? I wanted to see the body,” the revived Laura quipped. X-Men #18 (2022) dealt with the fallout of Vault-Laura’s return as the two Wolverines met for the first time. It’s also important to note that for the past two years, every time we’ve seen Laura Kinney it’s been the resurrected version, while the original was trapped in the Vault. Due to a glitch that occurred during her resurrection, the revived version of Wolverine has a full Adamantium skeleton like her father, whereas the Vault version only has metal claws. Vault-Laura has also resumed her romantic relationship with Synch, something that only she remembers. The Vault version of Wolverine has hundreds of years of life experience that the resurrected Wolverine does not have. However, there is a lot that separates the two Wolverines. ![]() However, because Laura was revived with the Resurrection Protocols, she is considered the same person rather than a new entity like Spider-Man’s clone Ben Reilly or Jean Grey’s clone Madelyne Pryor. Various Marvel characters have had clone problems before, with Spider-Man being a notable example. There is a lot to unpack from the X-Men’s resurrection blunder. This has created a bit of a mess since there are now two versions of Laura Kinney running around.Ĭan two versions of Laura Kinney co-exist? Forge rescued her, and brought her back to Krakoa. In X-Men #16 (2022) Forge discovered that Laura had never died inside the Vault, and had been kept in stasis. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the biggest complication. This meant that Synch remembered their romantic relationship while she didn’t. When Laura was revived, her backup didn’t contain any of her memories from her hundreds of years in the Vault. During her mission, Laura developed a romantic relationship with her teammate Synch. Because time moves differently within the Vault, Wolverine spent hundreds of years in the structure while only a few days passed in the outside world. X-Men #19 (2021) featured the resurrection of Wolverine after she was seemingly killed during a mission inside the structure known as the Vault. Of course, this procedure has some complications. When the X-Men die, they respawn from a different area. Because the psychic essence of the deceased is used, these revived individuals are considered the same person as their dead counterparts rather than clones. When a mutant dies a psychic backup of their mind is implanted into a cloned body, which is grown from a giant golden egg. A group of X-Men known as the Five established the Resurrection Protocols, which uses a combination of psychic powers and cloning to revive their fallen members. Thanks to a collaborative effort from the world’s most powerful mutants, the X-Men have basically found a way to cheat death. No, the X-Men don’t have a giant scanner that prints out duplicates of their members, but it wouldn’t be the most far-fetched thing they’ve come across. Warning: Spoilers ahead for X-Men #18 (2023)! Wait, how are there two Wolverines? Why are their two versions of the same Wolverine, and how are they supposed to share one life? Read on as we unpack these revelations. Villa) we see this idea taken a step further as the X-Men are forced to deal with two different versions of the Laura Kinney Wolverine. In X-Men #18 (written by Gerry Duggan and penciled by C.F. Wolverine’s ability to appear in dozens of Marvel books each month might lead some to believe the mutant has the ability to be in two places at once. Is too much Wolverine a bad thing? There are many versions of the mutant character across the Marvel Universe, from the original Logan, to his old man counterpart, and his daughter Laura. ![]()
