Cloning Blues renamed to Clone Angst as per TRS, specifically about angst from a character discovering that they're a clone.


* CloningBlues:
** In issue 1, Sinister disregards X-23 as having any sort of real value since she's a clone of Wolverine. Which is odd considering he previously tried to ''[[GrandTheftMe steal her body]]''.
** Played for a mix of drama and laughs in issue 5: The many Gripses actually don't seem to care that much when Shogun kills the first one Sinister sends to meet them. Except for one, who called him a monster. However later in the issue when Deathstrike kills the ''original'' Gripes, it sets off the Berserk button of the horde of [[Comicbook/TheCloneSaga Ben Reillys]], who view killing the ''original'' as an unforgivable offense.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In issue 12 Fantomelle keeps one of Wolverine's old costumes rather than turning it over to [[spoiler: Deadpool]] along with the rest of the memorabilia she recovered as part of the job they hired her for. In issue 13 she gives ''this'' costume to X-23 as a "thank you" for saving her in issue 3. Several months later Marvel announced that Laura would be [[LegacyCharacter taking up the Wolverine mantle]] as part of the [[AllNewAllDifferentMarvel relaunch]] at the conclusion of ''Comicbook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'' (See WhatCouldHaveBeen on the Trivia tab).

When she learns that the plan she got from Destiny was actually to trick Mystique into resurrecting ''Wolverine'', she refuses to go through with it.]]

1) Repair, don't respond. 2) Essex DID try to steal her body, putting his consciousness in her before Claudine could. Laura then kicked him out.


*** Technically, it was Ms. Sinister, Claudine Renko who wanted her body for its healing factor as well as to escape the originals Sinister's plane for her. The latter had absolutely no need for Laura and even tried to kill her during the short moment he had control of Claudine.

* CliffHanger: [[spoiler:The last issue ends with Mystique not reviving Wolverine and leaving the rest of the surviving cast for dead. This can be somewhat forgiven though, because Secret Wars happened shortly after.]]


Added DiffLines:

** Really, Mystique seems to carry a rather large one with her at all times that she's immune to, but affects everyone around her.


Added DiffLines:

* ShaggyDogStory: By the end of the series, ''nothing'' has been accomplished, with each of the characters unable to fulfill their wanted goals.

* WatchTheWorldDie: [[spoiler: Issue 20 reveals that the plan Mystique was given to follow by Destiny turns out not to be intended to bring ''her'' back, but ''Logan'', instead: Destiny had a vision that revealed Wolverine was going to be a central figure in saving reality from the [[Comicbook/SecretWars2015 Incursions]], so manipulated Mystique into bringing him back because the world needed a Wolverine if it was going to survive. When Mystique learned the truth of this, she didn't take it well and refused to carry out Destiny's plan. She preferred to let existence die than resurrect Logan.]]
