I wouldn't mind if sinister had that kind of connection to laura, it will give her a recurring villainess and it wouldn't be too far fetched since sinister is clone obsessed. I'll look forward to seeing how this all plays out since x-23 is one of the main comics i read aside from uncanny x-factor.  
 
Maybe miss sinister tries to bargain with laura, promising her the key to finding her soul for her services, to be experimented on or take a sample of.

I'm not really familiar with Sinister. Maybe a 3- minute about this character would be good. lol

I think Mistress Sinister sounds better, but there is probably a website with some weird pictures that might show up if googled. In fact, I just looked it up. Oh, I want that out of my head, but I already know it's there forever. Nothing good comes out of a google search starting with "mistress".
Dude, you know who Sinister now reminds me of? Dr. Frank N. Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Seems alright to have X-23 and Sinister in a story. Just seems convoluted to try and meld their history.

Clones are now the lazy writers way of pulling back a death., but seems far more plausible with Sinister than in many other cases. I'd say it's very soap opera, but I'm not sure how she would qualify. Is she an evil twin or an eviler twin?

 " There isn't a need to put Sinister behind the scenes at her creation. Not all X-characters should have secret ties to their past." 
 
Wouldn't be surprised, it would be a predictable retcon. But y would he want a Wolverine clone that is noot an omega-level mutant. Maybe to take her body?

You guys really need a 3 min expert on X-23, please!!!!!

Not sure it would add a whole lot to the character.  It would be interesting to see how that plays out.  The soap opera comment is true but in a way comics are like a soap opera.  Look at Cyclops love life.

I bet Mr. Sinister was Sarah Kinney's graduate adviser when she was getting her degree in genetics

I hope Laura finds what she is looking for. The current Magik is a mystical copy of the true Illyana Rasputin, and currently seeks her own soul. A common thread in the X-Titles as of late.

I think it is best if Mr. Sinister wasn't involved. If he was it'll get too complicating.

I hope not.....Would seem rather pointless...Her origin is fine how it is

" @G-Man: 
* looks at thread title *
ahem - Miss Sinister. Please, respect her choice. We live in a free country  ^_^
 
and its possible...if you ever read the Gambit Origins 1-shot...

If Sinister was involved it would make a lot of sense sense... but let me ask you this. 
When has it taken Sinister 22 bad clones to get the 23rd right? 
What I mean is that (not that I know a lot on the subject) wouldn't Sinister get it right on the first try?

Making Sinister part of X-23's creation would be lazy and unimaginative writing for me. I mean someone else made a good point, why would it take him 23 attempts? He's shown he's mastered cloning in the past. He's cloned sabertooth before so it makes no sense that he'd have any problems with Wolverine's cloning process and have to make a female version. 
 
It would make sense that Sinister would be interested in Laura from a standpoint that she's different from the clones he has made, maybe he's interested in seeing how others have made clones compared to his own methods.  
 
Maybe Laura does have a soul and that's the reason why Sinister is interested in her, after all Miss Sinister is a clone herself and there may be something in Laura's genetic make up that Miss Sinister needs to survive etc.

"Mr. Sinister may be dead but we know he managed to create a clone of himself before his demise."

I am not certain if Sinister was responsible for the creation of Laura Kinney, but I suspect he had something to do with Hope Summers.

It would make sense if the X-23 found in Age of Apocalypse could be a clone, she looks to young to be her.

" I feel like this kind of reveal is something of an older era, it wouldn't add anything to Sinister's character unless they came up with some really cool way he pulled the strings from behind and all the pieces of her life up to this point have coincided with his plans and it wouldn't really add anything to X-23 either (nor take away)  basically if it would occur, it would be that last page cliffhanger shock that doesn't actually surprise anyone "

Anything is possible at this rate in the marvel universe.

I love X 23 the way she is, and it is true that she is strong enough without Sinister in the mix. What happened to good characters that took time in finding out everything about themselves? It can happen but, I have said this before, "We live in a microwave society, where everything people want is NOW and to wait, is unheard off."  
PLEASE do not ruin a great  X-Men by adding to much, to fast!!!

THIS IS AN INTERESTING POST!!!

 I can see Marvel doing this just so she has some more ties to the X-Men outside of Wolverine. I don't really see the need for it though. I think they need to slow down on her going on this soul search to be honest. I think she needs to go out of the spot light a little then have it worked up.

More Miss Sinister is always a good thing :P
 
...what??! Why are you all lookin' at me like this?!?
 
Anyway, like Wolverine before her, I expect lots of twists and retcons to her origins to happen in the future! That's all Weapon X's survivors' destiny!

It might be nice, if it isn't a stupid reason why Sinister got involved. 
He did want the Cyclops/Jean Grey offspring because he thought they'd make a powerful mutant that would help him against Apocalypse (etc etc. He ended up making his own Jean and they had Cable). 
With Wolverine, you have two "children" if you will: Daken, Wolverine's Biological Son, and X-23, Wolverine's Clone. 
The question is: With Daken's existence, why would there be a need for Sinister to assist in X-23's birth? (I'm thinking maybe it's because he was going to possibly use Daken, but Rommy (as I call him) got to him first).  
As for Wolverine: He's no Phoenix but he's got a healing factor, the claws and the berserker rage. Perhaps, if Sinister is involved, he wanted to create something that he could corrupt from birth. However, it's just a theory.

It would be good, but only if Sinister would have some greater plan in motion, scheme in which X-23 is his unwilling paw. Revealing that he has been behind her creation and could have been manipulating her entire life, even after his own death, as Miss Sinister or by putting certain events in motion earlier, would be great twist. First, it fits Sinister, manipulator and sciencist, whose similiar schemes we already seen in Inferno or Weapon X, it adds new level of horror to the character. It also fits X-23, victim of manipulations, girl who has been enslaved and used as a weapon since her "birth", who fears nothing else than being trapped in a cage again, controlled and manipulated by people who don't see her as a person but mere tool. Her struggle to break from Sinister's control would be interesting thing to watch. 
Shortly, I think that  both characters would benefits from that.

 The question is: With Daken's existence, why would there be a need for Sinister to assist in X-23's birth? (I'm thinking maybe it's because he was going to possibly use Daken, but Rommy (as I call him) got to him first). 

 "although she was revealed to be Wolverine and Mariko Yashida's daughter"  :O re writing my Daken????

meh I'm going have to agree with some saying that sinister will only complicate things for readers, and anyways miss sinister will be showing up!

It's been done over and over ! No it will certainly not be shocking it Sinister is behind this at all. But on the other hand I like him as a character, perhaps this new arc will give her a personality and a better storyline. Now someone get with Jullian, if not her I will have them draw me in the book!
