X23 has gone through multiple image changes since the page was created. In order of age, and arranged vertically so they can be seen at full size:

Of these, I think the first is actually the best for showing the character and her distinctive trait of having her foot claws, and I prefer to see her face. The next oldest is my next favorite...the rest, I think, are best for Image Links. Thoughts? I'd really like to have a pic like what's on Wolverine right now showing her various costumes, but I dunno if anything's around like that.

I'd hold off on "X-23 as Wolverine" pics since that's a relatively recent development. Of the others, I like 1.1 or 1.2.

I'd go 1.1.

As she was my former avatar I think I'm qualified to make a suggestion, but first, what's been put up thus far, I'd go with the first image. That fits her character the best, the aggressive yet vulnerable look and stance, a classic piece of her art. The second is niiiice but it looks...kinky, the exaggerated form, black shiny leather, it looks like a comic cover, a comic cover the Trio or cast of Big Bang Theory would be made fun of for. The third is better, kind of fits the character, but if we want to argue against Laura being the new Wolverine or joining X Force then I guess they're out.

Now, my ideas.

This nice bit of fan art that accurately depicts the character? Here's a sauce for those interested.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wallpaper_large_138683.jpg

Think this is from Target X and captures the character very well, especially now. Nice, kind hearted, funny, but mind the claws because she's not afraid to use them.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/x_23_on_x_men_evolution.jpg

From her first appearance in X-Men: Evolution? Great show, great character in great show, hell of an Establishing Character Moment but some will probably not like her design.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5707430_x_23.jpg

From Logan? This would be one a lot of people would be familiar with and looking at her you know she's bad, you just don't know she's bad enough to horrify Wolverine.

Another classic cover of Laura enjoying trying on Meghen's fetish wear. She almost looks like she's greeting a client...ahem. Again iconic art of her.

There's much much more great images out there but I think these ones work the best.

A couple more from the Marvel vs Capcom games. Still, I lean toward the compactness of 1.1.

I'd prefer to have official art from the comics considering it's the Comicbook page for the character. I still like 1.1 the best, but I can go with 5.5.

[up][up] I'd probably take this one over 1.1 because it fits the character better, in that Laura is not just this wild, aggressive type. If anything she is super calm. Just the same I can work with one that is not a pitch perfect description of the character, just so long as it's a good one.

6.1 is redirecting me to a homepage, but 6.2 is okay.

Here's one that looks like it was done by one of her comics' official artists.

That's good, I'm not sure if it's maybe as instantly recognizable as some of the others, I'm happy for it to go to crowner and let the tropers vote.

Guess we'll need a crowner for those suggestions...

This one never got bumped so I'll go ahead and do that. Two in the green.

This is finally ready to call. The new pic's up and tagged and a few of the options have been moved to the Image Links page. I've gone with a variant of the old caption since it was hinting at her title as the "all new" Wolverine...sufficient?

Image links could do with a slight clean but not bad, we have a decent pic, that's the highest vote? We have more images we can look at and we can do a Google image search for so many more, upload your faves to see what sites have it in the hope of getting more, if what's up now is what fans are happy with I'm happy with it.
