World X-23 training

[bluelab230]

Now the skills that X-23 has is quite vague beyond "every fighting skill known" so I thought a thread on what kind of training ( not taking about the brutal practices here) or skills she should have had when growing up. such as swimming? espionage? shelving books?

Here is some skills I thought X-23 probably would be taught if we are going with the hydra storyline some of this probably by memory implants
Olympic gold level gymnast
Knowledge of Explosives and bladed weapons
espionage
Camouflage skills
Acting skills (for undercover work)
Throwing Arts
Survival Training
Pain Management Training

according to wikipedia the comic book version states her training as "She is highly trained in the use of long range weapons and explosives and is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, with intensive training in numerous armed and unarmed martial arts techniques." and "She is also highly educated and so far has displayed that she is fluent in French and Japanese."

I based my skills on the x-men evolution series and what skills she had there. personally I find it makes more sense for a few reasons.
1. with growth chambers and other technology why resort to a surrogate mother and especially one of your researchers. Also what organization is going to wait 15 years or even ten years before getting there super soilder?
2. shield and hydra probably both raided weapon X when it went down and so have the best chance at doing this.
3. if she was a researcher for weapon X before she probably knew what went on there so the surrogate mother and the later what have I done after 15 years is just comic book sensationalism especially since the end purpose the clear.
4.For hydra it was gaining a new agent in order to accomplish missions not "we just sent the last ten years and millions of dollars to raise and train a child now to let it go off and be my personal mercenary" if they could do the training and the upbringing then waits stopping them from just doing what is stated in #1 since the department head rice wanted it as soon as possible

There are so many similarities to viper from hydra it's almost like from her upbringing thye developed what I call the "pit viper process"

The following information is taken from http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix4/madame_hydra_viper.htm

Though she has no superhuman powers, she has the strength, agility, stamina, and coordination of an Olympic athlete, as well as exceptionally high pain tolerance; in addition, she does not fear death. She has been rigorously trained in various martial arts, is a skilled marksman with a variety of firearms and energy weapons, and is highly experienced with knives. She is a talented actress and a master of disguise. She is a brilliantly cunning criminal strategist and combat tactician. She is of gifted intellect.


She sometimes wears gloves with razor-sharp talons able to cut through steel. She frequently carries a bullwhip that she can use as a dangerous weapon. Her costume is composed of synthetic stretch fabric (Lycra?) over Kevlar. She has also worn looser fitting clothes over her kevlar.

Viper typically employs a number of agents in her own terrorist organization (or agents of Hydra, the Hand, Secret Empire, etc.). In addition, she has employed a number of doppelgangers, known as Pit-Vipers, so that it is difficult to be certain if one is dealing with the true Viper.

For most of her adolescence and young adulthood, she struggled for mere survival, living by her wits with no one to guide or care for her.

Eventually she realized she had to fight back and either destroy the world that so oppressed her, or be destroyed herself.

When Jones wondered how the Viper, a woman, could allow the plot to place the evil intelligence within the Serpent Crown (Set) in control of the world, she declared that she was not soft like many women, rather she was the hardest person he would ever encounter.

When confronted by Captain America, Viper swore that none of them would leave there alive, and they would serve as martyrs to the serpent cause, hoping to inspire more like herself.

Viper began using a number of look-alike "Pit-Vipers" to act in her stead in various situations. The Pit-Vipers began popping up all over the USA committing acts of anarchy in the Viper's name.

Viper was maintained in a stasis tank alongside Tyger Tiger and Jessica Drew, and Hydra began reprogramming their minds.

info from http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/madamehydra.htm

The pupil was a young man living on an island in the China Seas who fought back against HYDRA when Madame Hydra led her forces to his home. She was impressed with his spirit, and made him her pupil, filling him with hate, and transforming him into a warrior. She then bested him in combat before her troops, but Alexander Goodwin Pierce convinced her to let him live so that he could inspire others.
