X-23 is a fictional character from the X-Men Evolution animated series. She is a clone of Wolverine and, with the publication of select issues of NYX, Uncanny X-Men and by Marvel Comics in 2004, the character was brought into the regular Marvel Universe, much like the character Harley Quinn of DC Comics.
X-23 first appeared in episode number 40, where she was voiced by Brittney Irvin.
Wolverine discovered though SHIELD that Hydra had created a female clone of himself. This clone can erect two claws from each hand (instead of three like Wolverine), and can erect one claw from her foot, unlike Wolverine. This girl is very lonely and has always been worked on her whole life. She decided to get revenge on Wolverine, so she invaded the mansion, taking out most of the X-Men with a mind stunning device. When they meet, Wolverine felt very sorry for her, so instead of turning her over to SHIELD like Nick Fury wanted, Wolverine let her go.
In comics
Dale Zander, the spy in the Weapon X project is killed by Wolverine as he was escaping. With his father's briefcase full of stolen data, blood and tissue samples, Zander's son used years later to recreate Weapon X. After 22 unsuccessful attempts, Zander and Dr. Sarah Kinney, a geneticist specializing in mutant genes, recreated Wolverine by creating a clone that was female rather than male, as the recovered genetic samples had been damaged on the 23rd chromosome. Kinney served as the surrogate mother to a successful birth.
X-23 eventually came to live on the streets, and was framed for a series of murders that were investigated by Wolverine and his fellow X-Men. She was rescused by the mutant heroes, and came to live with them at the Xavier Institute.
