* Logan will take back the Wolverine name, and Laura will ''finally'' assume the "Talon" code name teased by Kyle and Yost way back during ''New X-Men''.

** Partly confirmed: Laura will be surrendering the Wolverine name upon Logan's return. Whether she will be taking on a different name or not has yet to be revealed.
[[WMG:The Hooded Woman's Identity.]]
What follows is speculation as to the Hooded Woman's identity, if she ever returns.
* A number of readers have speculated she is actually Kimura in disguise
** This is seemingly {{Jossed}} in the books themselves; Laura would recognize Kimura by scent immediately. Also, the Woman's methods are much more subtle and clandestine than is expected of Kimura.
* A future iteration of Laura. Based upon her quoting Creator/HunterSThompson, she is an older Laura who returned from the future.
** Again, if she were an older version of Laura, Laura would have recognized her immediately by scent.
* Some readers speculated she's actually Sarah Kinney, who survived/was revived.
** If the previously referenced fact Laura didn't recognize her by scent didn't {{Joss|ed}} this one, that her death during Laura's escape was confirmed in ''All-New Wolverine #30'' certainly does.

* First, it's Zebra Daddy, not Pimp Daddy. Second, ''Evolution'' doesn't factor into the equation at all, as it's a different universe. Finally, {{Jossed}} by the books themselves: Laura says she sold her body to survive while she was on the streets, and justified it to herself with her belief that her life didn't matter. She wasn't shown actively protecting other women from this abuse until ''after'' being freed from Zebra Daddy's control, and in ''NYX'' itself she was a PTSD ExtremeDoormat.

[[WMG:Laura's future with Logan's return.]]
OG Logan has been resurrected, and though Laura hasn't learned ''yet'', his return will certainly impact her future. The big question is: Does she give him back the cowl, and will she find a new name?
* Laura will offer Logan back the cowl, and he tells her she's earned it. Laura continues to go by Wolverine and Logan doesn't take a code name at all.
* Logan will take back the Wolverine name, and Laura will ''finally'' assume the "Talon" code name teased by Kyle and Yost way back during ''New X-Men''.

[[WMG:Where did Alchemax Genetics get Laura's genetic material?]]
Alchemax Genetics was able to create ten clones of Laura. Certainly nothing new considering the Facility tried to do the same thing. However the entire reason the Facility has expended so much effort attempting to get her ''back'' is because she destroyed all materials and research that Rice used to create the additional clones in ''Innocence Lost''.

However there ''is'' one character known to have access to some of those materials: The Hooded Woman from "Collision" and "Touching Darkness." She was already experimenting with the trigger scent, and sold Alchemax the samples used to create the Sisters, if she wasn't a part of the project herself.
* Issue 6 of ''All-New Wolverine'' indicates that Alchemax stole their research from the Facility.
* True, but this is also Kimura we're talking about, who sees anything and everything X-23 as her personal property. She even blamed the X-Men for "stealing" her, so it's not out of character for someone else to have stolen the materials and sold it to Alchemax Genetics, and for Kimura to say ''AG'' stole it. And I think it was understood that the materials originally belonged to the Facility, anyway, so this doesn't really clarify much.

[[WMG:Captain Mooney's Fate]]
Captain Mooney isn't dead. Considering DeathIsCheap in the Marvel Universe even when they ''do'' show the body, the fact that not only is Mooney KilledOffScreen, but they never show his corpse afterwards, means the entire thing is a scam. Bellona only wanted Gabby to ''think'' she killed Mooney. In fact, Mooney is going to be revealed as the means by which Kimura actually freed the Sisters: either he was a mole and has been working for the Facility the entire time, or Kimura paid him off with a better job offer than what he was getting from Chandler. Although Gabby knew part of the plan meant Bellona and Zelda turning themselves in to Kimura, they kept Mooney's role from Gabby, knowing she would object to working with him. Mooney's actions in pursuit of the girls were all a part of a BatmanGambit set up by Kimura to manipulate Laura into helping them take down Chandler.

* The NYX storyline introduces X to the comics as a prostitute working for Pimp Daddy. Now for those familiar with Evolution this seems way off. Ditto the Innocence Lost and Target X storylines. What do these three things have in common? Abuse. Terrible abuse. Compared to Hydra and The Institute working the game is child's play. Without a target or a mission Laura sets her crusade on other women abused, which has been shown to cause her to lose it. Why not just kill him? She's an assassin, remember? She was most likely waiting for a chance to strike until Pimp Daddy forced her hand.
