Who Will Claim the Adamantium Mantle?
Years after the death of Wolverine, his progeny gather to battle for his legacy: his adamantium skeleton. It has been Infused in the body of his female clone, X23. A race between healing factors begins that guides the amnesiac X-23 on a journey to find out who she is and discover her family. Weapon X is on her trail under the command of Mr. Sinister as he orders Lady Deathstrike to return the living weapon with the help of Sabretooth. X-23 travels to Japan with former allies, X-Men, and a certain Merc with a Mouth. The burgeoning force are taken by force in Japan by the Hand Ninja cult. X-23 is reunited with her kidnapper, intended killer, and biological brother: Dakken.
The Battle for the Claws features the clone vs. the prodigal in a battle for Logan’s greatest weapons and the moniker of the Wolverine.

Hey, I ended up having some free time to read and comment. Yay!
I’m so excited for this next evolutionary stage – a battle royale for the mantle of Wolverine. I’m going to have to give it to my girl X on this one. No, not because she’s a girl and I’m a girl but because I think she’s earned it the most. Dakken is, well, a friggin sociopath and has already done some pretty unsavory things for the sake of pissing off his dad and also because he seems to enjoy it. He also seems to feel more entitled to it.
X-23 has done bad things but seems genuinely remorseful of her actions and has been working tirelessly to right her wrongs, even though a lot of her wrongs were under the control of Weapon X.
Regardless, this should be an interesting sibling rivalry.
Hope you enjoy the show!!
