X-23, or Laura Kinney, is another of the genetic copies of Wolverine. She is another of those living weapons who is a brutal fighter and deadly assassin. She shares many of the traits of Wolverine including an ability to heal any injury and cut down her foes with lighting-fast reflexes.
X-23 & Honey Badger // Marvel: Crisis Protocol
Whilst the Facility and the Weapon Plus Program brought X-23 to life, Alchemax Genetics were responsible for creating Gabrielle Kinney, also known as Honey Badger. She was trained as a bodyguard for Alchemax but broke free from her creator's clutches and assumed the name of Honey Badger when she joined the X-Men.
The set comes with the two 40mm miniatures, their character cards and also a couple of extras. The Jonathan The Unstoppable and Wolverines Team Tactics cards can be found in there for those who want to make proper themed teams.
Some really fun models for those wanting to play as the X-Men and their extended family in Marvel: Crisis Protocol.

Great looking figures to add to the game. Known a few women that could stick you if you cald them Honey Lol.
@brennon if say a person had recently tricked themselves into buying MCP, could someone recommend some decent terrain to go with it? and battle maps?
I looked on TT Combat’s site and they had loads of stuff that looked like it would be good, but they list it at 28mm.
I have had a look about but just wanted to ask if anyone else had committed to buying stuff that had turned up to be suitable?
@Rickabod41 – My son is really into MCP and we’ve found some stuff for it. Deep-Cut Studio has battle mats made specifically for the game: https://www.deepcutstudio.com/product-category/game-mats-for-games/crisis-protocol/
and if you have deep pockets Battle Kiwi has battle boards that are the right size: https://battlekiwi.com/product-category/tabletop-terrain/tabletop-battle-boards/urban-city/
If I can find links to the other stuff he’s gotten I’ll send them your way.
thanks very much!
Black Site also has some terrain if you can find it/ship it. The Gothica selection from TTCombat is 28-35mm so it should be fine (I think) for MCP even though it’s a big bigger at 40mm.
cheers Fella. I will have another look at the TT Combat stuff (I tend not to look at their site too much as it always tempts me to buy Rumnleslam minis!).
Reaper miniatures has a bunch of Bones terrain that is top notch and not too expensive. They have shipping containers, dumpsters and stuff like that that is perfect.
With over 3000 comics in my collectionI am amazed at the characters I’m still not familiar with. Probably has something to do with that I mostly stopped buying them in the 90’s, but I do have a reasonable collection of the more modern stuff. Still honey badger is completely unknown to me.
X-23 always seemed like an interesting character, but I think I’ll pass on this box for now. I still have plenty of models yet to buy. Hoping for some of the more classic x-men soon, as I’m really looking forwarth to the magik.colosus,gambit, rogue wave.
Ditto… never heard of honey badger… bit of a crappy name.
Not bought comics in a good few year and I packed in the X-men when the art went all manga-esque.
It was Daken (Wolverine’s son) who dubbed her Honey Badger for how sweet she was and her having her claws. Her real name is Gabrielle Kinney and she just like X-23 is connected to Wolverine as she is youngest of 10 female Wolverine clones.
But most importantly, Gabs is AWESOME
How many clones does he have? And didn’t then learn anything from the Species movie? Females are not less aggressive!
There seems to be 10 in total but there could be even more than that. Still X-23 and Honey Badger are most notable ones. In comic books those two even act like sisters.
Squirrel Girl gave Laura an actual Wolverine as a pet, didn’t she?
I don’t think they cloned females to make them less aggressive. Unless I missed something, it is because the sample of Logan’s DNA that they used was a bit corrupted. They didn’t have a complete Y Chromosome to work from so they duplicated his X chromosome (or something like that).
But Laura has slightly different backstories in the different cartoons, the comics and the Logan film.
I wasn’t saying that was reason they cloned females from wolverine, just making a comment related to the movie Species.
The real reason they probably chose females from editorial point of view is most comic readers are teenage males with boobs on the mind…
The male audience only explains why all comic book women are attractive. Pandering to a teenage male audience mostly leads to having lots of male characters.
The editorial standpoint was really a producer’s standpoint for the X-Men Evolution cartoon (where Laura first appears- she’s a bit like Harley Quinn). The girls in that cartoon were more about being relatable to female viewers.
Both of those look really good.
@vorlon those Battle Kiwi boards look great! and actually don’t work out that expensive – max 50 New Zealand dollars for shipping – which is around 25 English pounds!
I am actually massively tempted ha ha
Wellllll ****. Guess I really am getting into MCP now….
