Wolverine's Daughter Gets Hardcore New Codename
Laura Kinney becomes Weapon X-Tremis with technomancy powers in Marvel Mangaverse: Web of Blood #1, debuting September 2
Marvel has introduced a new codename for Laura Kinney, Wolverine's daughter, in the Marvel Mangaverse universe. Laura Kinney will now be known as Weapon X-Tremis, granting her new powers including technomancy, a combination of magic and technology.
The new codename is part of the Marvel Mangaverse: Web of Blood #1 comic, which debuts on September 2. This development is an alternate version of Laura Kinney, specific to the Mangaverse universe, and does not replace her identity as Wolverine in the main Marvel Comics continuity.
Laura Kinney's new powers as Weapon X-Tremis include the ability to physically reshape herself, producing serrated claws and transforming her arm into a powerful cannon. She can also produce magical sigils using nanotechnology in her saliva. The Extremis technology, which grants Laura her new powers, was introduced in 2005 and can reprogram the human body on a genetic level.
The transformation into Weapon X-Tremis is a significant development for Laura Kinney, who was originally introduced as X-23 in 2003's X-Men: Evolution and later in 2004's NYX #3. Over the years, Laura has reclaimed her agency and identity, rejecting her experimental codename and becoming the second Wolverine.
## Why it matters The introduction of Weapon X-Tremis marks a new chapter in the Marvel Mangaverse universe, which is celebrating its anniversary with a return to this unique imprint. The Marvel Mangaverse: Web of Blood #1 comic will follow Laura Kinney as she battles a magically empowered version of Nick Fury, showcasing her new powers and abilities. The use of Extremis technology in the Mangaverse universe adds a new layer of complexity to the story, allowing for a fresh take on the character and her abilities.
The debut of Marvel Mangaverse: Web of Blood #1 on September 2 will be a significant event for fans of the Marvel universe, who will get to see Laura Kinney in action as Weapon X-Tremis. With her new powers and abilities, Laura is set to become a major player in the Marvel Mangaverse universe, and her story is sure to be closely followed by fans around the world.
