Logan: 31 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

17. X-24

In the comics, X-24 didn't actually exist, though he was the first planned clone whose incubation pod is seen in X-23's origin story Innocence Lost. That was ultimately destroyed before he came to be.

But there have been a couple of other clones, including a zombie, which would have been a far wilder way to go with Logan.

The clone sub-plot very much mirrors the arc of Alchemax Genetics in the comics, a shady organisation that created ten clones of X-23, which were classed as failures. The attempts to destroy the clones when they escape very much feels like Captain Mooney and Robert Chandler's attempts to wipe out X-23's clones in the comic arc (albeit with Mooney replaced by Pierce and Taskmaster by X-24 in the movie).
