What does it actually add to her character?

Shes lives her entire life being used by other people.

Plus the story in genral was to show life for mutants on the street

>>78146983
Because it was a tiny tiny part of a pretty dull comic that literally had nothing to do with X-23, but she was put in there because the writer just liked her character on X-men Evolution.

Wasn't the writer Joe Quesada? In any event NYX was pretty shit all around. Had some good art for the first issue but it was like reading something written by a 14 year old.

Somebody did a few days ago, might even still be in the archives.

They should make that a thing. A brothel with cloned (anti)>>78146896
heroes and vigilantes
>>
>>78146896
X-23's debut was in NYX, and for that story, it makes sense, since it's about abused teens having to grow up in the lowest slums of the city, and how those kinds of broken people are completely incapable of dealing with the sudden onset of mutant powers. Having a young prostitute that hates her life so much, she cuts herself, but whose healing powers makes her in huge demand because she keeps looking fresh, yes, it makes a lot of sense in that context.

Only after that miniseries concluded, the decision was made to fold her into the Marvel canon.

Comic book debut. She was created for X-men Evolution and for some reason despite being a wolverine clone she was brown.

>>78146896
Most "muh rape" backstories are just shitty attempts to make the story seam deeper and more "mature" than it actually is.
>>

It makes her impure so that waifufags will always have the fact that she's had cocks insider her hanging on the back of their head every time they fap to her

Yeah but healing powers = permanent virgin.

>a young prostitute that hates her life so much, she cuts herself, but whose healing powers makes her in huge demand because she keeps looking fresh
That's not a bad idea in itself, but when you mix that with a Wolverine clone equiped with adamantium, shit just doesn't gel together
>>
>>78147165

I thought she was in demand because she kept cutting masochists up which they thought was awesome.

Maybe she's just a sadist who likes cutting people.

>people freak out that she worked a few months as a prostitute
purityfags are retards I swear.
She lived a very irregimented life doing always what others told her to do and without the chance to develop her own personality, desires, lies and dislikes. When she got out she was lost and had no idea what to do.
Some guy found her and told her to follo him and gave her something to do, and she did, and it was probably infinitely better than her previous life.
Probably the most terrifying thing for her would be when a client tried to be nice and asked if she was ok with doing X-thing, or if she liked doing it, because she'd have no idea what to answer and no idea that she was supposed to have preferences, up to that point.
>>
>>78146896
She's so broken and damaged like a FRAGILE FLOWER anon
>>
>>78147915
>>78148607
she was in demand because at the facility they trained her in how to seduc and to service sexually both men and women in case it would benecessary for a mission so she was the most expert there
>>
>>78147107
Well does her Hymen and Vagina revert back into "virgin" state at least?

The fact that there are plenty of organizations helping the homeless, does not prevent homeless people still existing to this day.

Not really, but then again I'm a filthy degenerate who's favorite version of Laura is the Homeless Mutant Quest version.
>>
>>78149022
Her hymen will heal but that's not an indication of virginity. The breaking of a hymen during first sex is a myth. They can be torn from sex but also from other activities.

Google it.
>>
>>78146896
>What was the point of her background as a prostitute?
Adds something mildly interesting.

>Was it really necessary?
No, they could've given any number of backgrounds, but there's nothing particularly wrong with prostitute.

>What does it actually add to her character?
Well, depending on why she was a prostitute says something about who she was which adds something to who she is now. It opens to possibility to ask, "why did she go form this to this?" It's called storytelling.

no. her entire origin would be about her getting non-sexually violated by her creators. The prostitute angle adds pretty much nothing. I don't know why we are discussing X-23 though. It's not like she's actually around anymore.

Isn't it a genetic thing?

>>78149607

Yes. You can't change a vay-jay just by having sex. Even lots of it.
>>
>>78149591
I've seen models still have innies and have a healthy sexual lifestyle, they probably date white men with average penis size and don't fuck as hard or They have it repaired which is expensive. In Laura case, it'll probably revert back.

>>78149803
wherever female assassins existed bedding the terget to then kill him was the standard mode of action for them.
And seducing and having sex are also ways of infiltrating and acquiring information, for both male and female spies.
Considering that her job consisted of both it's logical that she would be trained in that too.
>>
Would you rather be in a relationship with an ex-pornstar or an ex-prostitute?
>>
>>78149970
prostitute would probably be cleaner. none of this 'take two dozen more raw dicks than you agreed to this shoot, or you're not getting paid and you'll never find work again' stuff
>>
>>78149022

Hymens don't even break so much as stretch sometimes but even then not always, usually that's not after having sex for a while anyway, and everyone's is different so no you can't tell whether a woman is a virgin or not by looking at the hymen. Some women also don't have much of a hymen to speak of.

The only time you'd have a hymen that would have to "break" is this really rare medical condition where it actually is closed off totally and that can be fatal without an operation because of the build-up/toxicity of the menses. But that condition is super rare and would have to be surgerically taken care of at puberty.
>>
>>78149970
Depends, which one has more money? I'd think the pornstar unless the other was a super high class call girl right? The richer one.

prostitution in and of itself is usually harmless, but it is beyond corrupt and if the woman isn't particularly smart, which be honest most of them aren't, then they are easily taken advantage of and end up being forced into business relationships with really deplorable and shady characters
