Thats my point though.
In the comics it makes sense why she doesnt have it originally since she escaped before she was fully grown, no sense coating the entire skeleton of a growing teenager, but in TNH, Laura didnt leave the facility until recently, and shes 18, so they could, in theory, have finished the process and finish weapon X.
That would be interesting!

I do assume it's just a metaphor, but I am not opposed to this.

Bone development actually continues for a few years after that. I think it doesn't fully settle until... I cant remember if it's 23 or 26.

But that's just me splitting hairs at this point.

Bones will stop growing lengthwise between 16 to 18, but you'd want to wait a year or so to be sure.
It's bone density that continues until the mid to late twenties.
So the organisation that made Laura would probably be at least 19 before they added any adamantium to the rest of her skeleton. If they were ever going to do so.

There are some drawbacks to a full skeleton coated with adamantium.
- Its heavy. Logan weighs 300lbs, about 136kg. 100lbs (45kg) of that is the adamantium in him. That throws off a lot of ways Laura could be sent on missions, or extracted, if she were still an assassin. They got what they wanted coated.
- It makes Laura more dangerous, but would also prevent her from being tortured by the people who made her and trained her. One of her instructors, Kimura, chopped off an arm with a chainsaw. Because she could. Couldn't do that if Laura had a fulled coated skeleton.
- It's expensive. Prohibitively so. The existence of her "sisters" in 616 showed that Laura was meant to be the blueprint for assassins. Its easier and cheaper to coat the claws than the entire skeleton. Imagine the dozens of times over. Or just take that 100lbs of adamantium and see how far you can go just coating 6 claws.

You forgot one other downside- it's toxic, even with her healing factor. Laura heals faster than Logan due to her healing factor not having to fight off as much heavy metal poisioning

Knowing the organisation that created her, I imagine they would have seen it as an upside in someway.

Is this Literal? is her skeleton completely coated in adamantium in earth 69?
It kinda makes sense seeing how she didnt leave the facilty until she was fully grown.
I've always taken that metaphorically. As in firm or unyielding fingers. As in she's forcing you to lick her pussy. Pretty much since adamantium came from the regular word adamant and they just stuck -ium at the end. Kind of like unobtainium.

Its a moot point now, comic-wise, as she does have a full *metal skeleton now.

edit: doh!

Wholly unrelated, but I just wanted to let you know that I've been laughing at your autism Laura image for like ten minutes now.

God, every time I log into this website I'm eager to see if there's been updates. I'm not complaining! I'm just full of love and excitement for this game!

It's metaphorical.

For all of the reasons stated by others, it's just her claws.

Adamantium is strong. Her grip is strong.
Thanks for the clarification.

Now we need to have a discussion on the economics of Adamantium, maybe in scale economy it makes sense.
We gotta find out how expensive a production line of Lauras is and how expensive they are on the market, maybe we can sell the premium, gucci version that has the full skeleton and bluetooth, you know?

Oh trust me buddy, i know, i had to do that picture precisely because i lost my sides when the picture came to my mind and i just NEEDED for it to be real to share the hilarity.

If you're gonna talk about economics then you need to remember that weapon X was somehow a Canadian project

To be fair, weaponizing an obnoxious, chain smoking, drunkard, midget sounds exactly like something the Québécois would do.
Who else is gonna kick Bruce Banner back to the other side of the border?

The lead dev of this game is an actual medical doctor getting his PHD...who also codes this game. And apparently codes it well enough for it to be moddable and open, not that I'd know anything about it. Dude's a real life superhuman. I'm legitimately impressed, that is some drive. Doing all this in residency is just insane.

I thought medical doctors get MD's, not PHD's. Am I wrong on that?
