Craig Paul Kyle (born November 3, 1971) is an American writer forMarvel Comics. He is best known for his creation of the characterX-23. He has also produced several of Marvel's direct-to-DVD animated films and worked on several aspects of theThor film series.

Kyle was born inHouston, Texas. He is a frequent collaborator withChristopher Yost, and they are perhaps best known for the creation ofmutant characterX-23, teenage female clone of Wolverine. In 2003, Kyle and Yost co-wrote the episodes ofX-Men: Evolution that introduced X-23 to theX-Men: Evolution universe. Marvel executives were impressed with X-23's reception on TV, and subsequently asked Yost and Kyle to adapt the character into comics, first by writing the character into a six issue eponymous mini-series, and then by taking over writing chores (as of issue #20) on theNew X-Men (formerlyNew X-Men: Academy X) title, bringing X-23 in as a regular character. The success of X-23's first miniseries (X-23: Innocence Lost) prompted Marvel to order a second six-issue miniseries with Kyle and Yost at the helm, titledX-23: Target X.

Kyle and Yost concluded their stint on the New X-Men title after the events of "X-Men: Messiah Complex" when the title turned intoYoung X-Men. Chris Yost and Kyle co-wrote the revampedX-Force withClayton Crain on pencils; the cast featuredWolverine,Warpath,Wolfsbane, andX-23 as black ops agents on assassination missions per the orders ofCyclops. The series ended in 2010 and was replaced byUncanny X-Force, written byRick Remender.
