because the writers have been careful to work hard on her character, starting back with the various miniseries (Target X was great), through X-Force and large showings in everything inbetween especially major events, and then some. as well her fight with Deathstrike, id say the end of Messiah War pretty much solidified respect in peoples eyes. why.

" @ComicCrazy: Think of Wolverine, now think of one you can have sex with without being homosexual. Lo and Behold, the appeal of Laura Kinney. "

I for one don't like her one bit for the most part she,s just a rip  and that dumb ass toe claw infuriates me I mean seriously dose it take a corner around the ankle or dose her foot not bend.

I believe it is stored in her shin. Every time she pops the claw (or most times when drawn correctly), she flexes her foot so the ankle angle is almost straight. It passes through her ankle into her foot and emerges between her toes. 

The hand-claws are offensive weapons while the foot-claws are defensive.  Craig Kyle explains it here:  http://www.sideshowtoy.com/videos.php?v    

i love that Sideshow statue so much...their Emma too.

I like X23 because she is like Wolverine, but Better,   :) I dislike Wolverine vey much,  But X23 is just written very well, character and history wise.

"X23 is just written very well, character and history wise. "

confirmation of sick awesomeness...

 

because she is tough but anyway lyrycal on a special side of her is the love and hate or father daughter relationship to wolverine she is also mysterious i love her and she is one of the best characters from marvel

She rocks, she's an enigma.
 
And in addition she has a soul which most people didn't think of.
 
I hope she survives.

"Sexy. Deadly.  Mysterious.     "

To tell the truth, I have absolutely NO idea as to who she really is...not yet anyway, I'm gonna go look her up right now.
holy crap she was on X-men evolution?

Read both of her mini-series, they're great and what made me love her.

Simply put she's badass. 
 
And she isn't overplayed and overrated like Logan. 
 
Prettier too.

X-23 Is one of most favourite comicbook favourite characters. She is hot, intelligent and sadistic. How can anybody not like her.  

"
CAUSE SHE IS F*** AWESOME!! 
WHOEVER DOESN'T LOVE HER IS A DUMBA**!!!! 
 :) "

because she is awesome i look at her as a mystique and wolverine fusion

"Because most fanboys secretly get off on Wolverine and X-23 is basically Wolverine with tits "

She's amazing. Simply put, I fell in love with her as a character due to her background. How she was created, how she had grown. Her two-series starters were pretty decent, and got me heavily interested in her further yet. I have a bust of her in her fanged, orange and black jumpsuit. I have every comic she's been in so far, except for a couple of the recent ones. She's one of my favorites, notably because I dislike the overrated Wolverine.
