The X-Men, Laura Kinney and the Kingpin (XSpoilers)

Today's X-Men comic book X-23: Deadly Genesis, looks at the earlier days of Laura Kinney, Wolverine, long before the days of Krakoa.

Today's X-Men comic book X-23: Deadly Genesis, looks at the earlier days of Laura Kinney, Wolverine and/or Talon. Long before the days of Krakoa, indeed, it is set just after she left the previous mutant island experiment, Utopia. And then goes further back, looking at her early days, presented as a clone of Wolverine for weaponised purposes to Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime.

Currently, the Kingpin is on the outs, no longer Mayor of New York, defeated by Luke Cage, exiled from the city, wanted for murder, and all manner of crimes, accompanied by Typhoid Mary.

While Typhoid Mary Fisk, also known as Bloody Mary and Mutant Zero, was created by Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr for Daredevil in 1988, with low-level psionic powers, including telekinesis, hypnosis and pyrokinesis, and has been employed by organised groups. Her mutant powers were triggered when, working in a brothel, she was accidentally knocked out of a window by Daredevil. She has dissociative identity disorder, with three main alter personalities and has developed martial arts skills. And now she's married to the Kingpin.

So one might wonder how Laura Kinnery will react to the latest citizen of Krakoa?

The Kingpin, courtesy of Typhoid Mary, and wearing a shirt perfect for a paradise island like Krakoa? So which Laura Kinney will he meet first?
