Powers & History: Kirika has an advanced healing factor and two claws that extend from each hand. After Apocalypse’s death, Kirika was found by the X-Men in the depths of Sinister’s lab and was assumed to be a clone of Weapon X. She had little memory of her past. Magneto helped train her and on her request, performed an adamantium bonding procedure on her bone claws. Despite being new to the X-Men, Magneto sent her on the important mission of finding Weapon X and convincing him to come out of retirement. She found him in the Canadian Wilderness, wanting nothing to do with Magneto’s fight anymore. Kirika managed to convince Weapon X to return after the two fought and killed former prelates Northstar and Aurora.

When Xorn revealed herself as Paige Guthrie (Husk), Kirika saved Rogue’s life by killing Paige. After the fight against Sinister, Psylocke used her psychic knives to unlock Kirika’s memories. With her past revealed to her, Kirika discovered that she was not a clone of Weapon X but the his daughter with Mariko Yashida. Kirika then decided to go see her mother in Japan and was accompanied by Sunfire, Psylocke and the Silver Samurai.
