The Deep End – Part Three
When Deadpool and Wolverine take a swing at each other, Deadpool believes that they both missed making contact and proceeds to point his gun at Logan. Realizing he can’t pull the trigger, he looks down and wonders what is happening, only to discover that the three middle fingers on each hand have been deftly sliced off by Logan’s claws. Deadpool laments ah crap, I really needed those.
Running away, Deadpool says to himself “stupid flipper-hands.” When he attempts to hold another gun, it slips out of his hands and knocks him in the face. He then thinks to himself Dear diary, in my mind I saw this all working out a lot more smoothly, you know. His mind replies no, they don’t, actually. Explain. Wait, who am I talking to? His mind asks if he’s a telepath. No. His mind tells him then he’s talking to himself. Oh, okay.
At that moment, Logan leaps towards Deadpool and is promptly greeted with a boot to his face. As Deadpool faces off against Logan again, he knew he’d be mad, but… He says to himself but he didn’t think he’d be smart and mad. Yeah, more or less. He was thinking more along the lines of…
In his thoughts, Deadpool sees the image of Wolverine in front of him as a bull charging towards him. His mind says that he sees. So the fact that he cut off his trigger fingers is…? Disturbing, yeah. He had plans for them. When Logan slices his gun to pieces, Deadpool says to himself that he had lots of plans. Still do. All kinds of plans. He then says to himself that’s why he don’t want anything unexpected to happen.
Somewhere else, a shadowy figure enters a room where a Captain America costume lies on the bed.
Step 1 – Meet Wolverein at end of cable car line – Check. Step 2 – Fight Wolverein – Check. Step 3 – Lay bait and escape – Check. Step 4 – Proceed to objective point gamma. Running down the street, Deadpool looks down at his fingers and tells them to grow dammit, grow! Reaching a metal trash bin, Deadpool thinks to himself Step 4 – Proceed to objective point gamma – Check. Attempting to unlock it, he mutters that he should’ve used… combination lock… When he finally gets it open, he thinks to himself he is stymied, he can’t use any of the weapons stashed there. Aloud, he again curses his flipper-hands. He then determines that he could use that if Logan were to stand right there.
Just then, Logan comes around the corner and narrowly misses being shot with a rocket-launcher. The rocket ends up hitting a car behind him instead, causing it to explode. Step 17 – Blow up car (make it look cool) – Check. Deadpool then quips fingers – who needs ‘em!?
Looking around, Deadpool wonders where Logan went to. Quickly looking to his right, he doesn’t see Logan there either. He could’ve sworn that he… You can’t swear. Huh? Well, you can but it just comes out like “$@%&” or “&*#$.” Really, wacky. He then asks what about his favorite one, can he say that. Not sure, give it a try. As he says #$*&*%, Logan kicks him in the head, knocking him to the ground.
Standing over him, Logan retracts his claws and tells Wade that he’s gonna bash his brains out. Deadpool stands up and asks him if he really thinks he’s got the chops for that, the karate chops. He then challenges Logan by motioning for him to come over with his pinky finger and telling him let’s see it, get his booty on the dance floor. As the car behind Logan finally explodes, Logan leaps at Deadpool and they proceed to duck it out. Each giving as good as they get. Finally, Deadpool says to Logan that he’s got a joke for him.
“So, this Mexican guy comes riding up to the border on his bicycle with two big sacks over his shoulders. He tells the border guard that the sacks are full of sand, but the guard doesn’t believe him. The guard detains the guy, then rips open the bags – nothing but sand. He even has the sand analyzed only to find out that it really is just sand and the sack is just a plain ol’ sack. Two days later, the same thing happens and it happens again two days after that. Every time, the guy on the bike is carrying nothing but sand. This goes on for seven years. It drives the border guard crazy, like really crazy. He loses his job because of it. So, one day, he tracks down the Mexican guy down and says to him: ‘I’m no longer a border guard, but I gotta know. What is it that you were smuggling? Because I know you were smuggling something.’ The guy smiles at him and says…” Before Deadpool can finish his joke, Logan connects with a kick to his face and knocks him backwards.
Standing over him, Logan prepares to give Deadpool the final killing strike with his claws. Deadpool thinks to himself so this is it. And he can’t think of a single funny thing to say about it. Oh wait, yes he can. He then finishes his joke – “bicycles sucker.”
Before Logan is able to slash him, a lady screams out behind them that her baby is in the burning car behind them. Logan stops in his tracks, drops Deadpool and heads over to the lady. Looking in the car, Logan sees a baby strapped in their seat. He tells the lady to stand back and proceeds to punch the window out of the car. When he does, he is hit with a back draft of flame. Picking himself off the ground, Logan yells out no and rushes headfirst towards the flaming car. When he reaches the baby, he discovers that it is mechanical and that it has a timer. When it reaches 0.00.01, the baby utters, “Uh-oh, pooh-pooh.” At that moment, the baby blows up, in turn catching Logan with the full blast.
With Logan out of the way, Deadpool walks up to the lady and gives her wad of cash. He says to her that she really sold it, even he believed her and he knew it was fake. The lady asks really? Deadpool tells her oh yeah and that he’s gonna give her a little extra to go get a headshot done. The lady asks if he means for auditions, wow. Does he really think she could do that? Deadpool tells her absolutely. He’s heard it all. People begging for their lives, death howls, and that scream of hers ranked right up there with them.
The lady asks “death howls?” Deadpool says yeah. It’s the noise that happens when people scream in pain right before they die. It’s really strong at first, but then it just kind of trails off because there’s not another breath behind it, you know. When the lady sees Logan staggering out of the fire behind Deadpool, she looks on in horror. Deadpool tells her that’s good too. Mortal terror, right?
When the lady runs off, Deadpool calmly turns around and says, “Hey, Logan,” and invites him to say hello to his “little friend.” With that, his fingers begin to regenerate. When they do, he pulls a gun out and proceeds to unload it into the charging Wolverine. He then flips him over his head and turns to shoot him some more. Before he can, however, Logan kicks the gun out of his hand and stabs him in his right side with his left claws. Not to be outdone, Deadpool takes a knife and stabs Logan in his right side with it and holds it there with his left hand.
As Logan calls out in pain, Deadpool says it hurts, doesn’t it. Logan then takes his right claws and jams them into Deadpool’s left side. Deadpool thinks to himself that his lungs are full of blood and he’s pretty sure his aorta’s been severed. He’ll be dead within seconds. He tells Logan “him first” and jams another knife through his neck. Spent, they both lean against each other, bleeding profusely as the fire rages behind them.

The Deep End – Part Four
In the desert, Deadpool feels the sun burning his eyes. When he holds up his hand to block the sun, he is shocked to see that his hand is that of a turtle. Looking down, he wonders what happened to his…
Before he can finish the thought, he sees a rabbit rushing up to him. He calls out to it to “c’mere,” he needs help. The rabbit (Wolverine) tells him nope. Deadpool (the turtle) asks him why not. Wolverabbit tells him they are racin’. Deadturtle says they are, that’s not fair. Wolverabbit says he lost. Deadturtle says you lost, what do you mean, he won? Wolverabbit then asks if he knows where the end is. Deadturtle says he sees that he is lost. But why is he asking him where the finish line is? He don’t know where it is either. But even if he did, he wouldn’t tell him.
Seeing the rabbit look around quizzically, the turtle says to him that he’s not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he. The rabbit feels behind his head and says uh-oh. There’s a hole in the back of his head and it’s gooey. Just then, the turtle gets it – why the rabbit is lost and talking like a moron. He doesn’t have a brain. Confused, the rabbit is unable to make the connection. The turtle says that he shot him in the brain. He got knocked around and stabbed a few times but he took a hot one right in the ol’ brainpan. He put the muzzle right up under his jaw and blammo! He bets that slug made a real mess of things, bouncing around in that adamantium skull of his. He then says you do realize what this means. Now, Wolverine has become the turtle and asks Deadpool, now the rabbit, to give him a clue.
Back in reality, Deadpool is munching on a carrot while Logan is chained and suspended over a pool inside a warehouse. As he chomps away on his carrot, he says to Logan what’s up, @#$%, he means “doc.” Deadpool then says to Logan that he sees how this is gonna work, right. He flips the lever, he goes down and there’s nothing to breath but water. And is there anything that can save him? He then says let me see healing factor – bzzt. Fish-like gills – bzzt. Some other kinda… – bzzt.
Tossing the carrot over his shoulder he says that’s a heartbreaker. Also, since he owns this place, and since he’s locked it up tighter than a frog’s butt, and since the utilities are linked to an automated account and the taxes are paid well into the next decade nobody’s gonna be coming around to pull him up. And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here? Simple, he led him there, by the nose. Every single move, every single thing since the fortune cookie in Chinatown has been meticulously planned by him. He knew exactly what to do to get him to do what he does. Now, he knows that sounds confusing, so let him break it down for him: he (Logan) played himself. He then asks Logan how that makes him feel.
When Logan doesn’t answer him, Deadpool says to him that he guesses he knew that San Francisco was an expensive town to buy real estate in, but seriously, he would not believe how much this place costs. He’ll give him a hint, the advance that he got for accepting the job of taking him out – gone. Between this place and all the money he paid out for weapons, explosives, bribes, tech – he’s actually completely upside-down on the deal. But does he wanna know a secret? It was never about the money. To tell him the absolute truth, he would’ve taken the gig for a magazine subscription and a handful of Dairy Queen coupons. Nope, it wasn’t about the money at all. It was about…
Logan finally speaks up and tells Deadpool that he’s not crazy. Deadpool looks at him and says what did he… Logan tells him again that he’s not crazy. He’s seen crazy, he’s been crazy an’ he ain’t it. Enraged, Deadpool says that now, from somewhere hidden in his dark and secretive past it comes out that he attended college and received a psychology degree. What, like on some super-secret mission. And he was all like “I’m the best there is at what I do an’ what I do is psychoanalyze.” “Tell me about your mother.” Oh, and he bets Freud’s death wasn’t a suicide at all; it was him that pumped that morphine into his arm, right. It was Logan in London with a… Logan cuts him off and says to him that he really loves the sound o’ his own voice, doesn’t he – shut up. Pulling out his knife, Deadpool gets really serious and dares Logan to say that to him again.
(flashback)
Deadpool then remembers back when he was a teenager living with his alcoholic dad. He was playing his guitar when his dad tossed a beer at the back of his head, told him to shut up and went back to drinking his beer, lamenting the death of his wife. The young Wade Wilson, incensed, puts down his guitar, picks up the beer, takes a drink of it, picks up a pair of scissors and heads out the window to hang out with his buddies.
(reality)
Logan then asks Deadpool what the hell his problem is; daddy not give him enough attention? Deadpool replies “what’s his problem, what’s his problem?” Logan says it’s kinda obvious, ain’t it. Deadpool says he’s not talking about now, he’s talking about him running around the globe, acting like an a-hole. D.C., Tokyo, Brussels, yeah, he knows about all of that. Don’t forget, he’s a world-class mercenary, he has an information network of his own. Logan replies wow – world-class eh. Deadpool yells at him that he sure as hell beat the #$%& outta him, didn’t he? Logan smiles and tells him to untie his arms an’ he’ll clap for him.
Fed up, Deadpool reaches for the lever and says &*%$ this, he doesn’t need the aggravation. Logan then utters the word revenge. Deadpool stops and says huh. Logan says that he asked what he was up to, that’s it. He’s out for revenge. Deadpool asks revenge and then breaks out into laughter. Pulling up his mask, he wipes a tear from his eye and asks Logan that he thinks that he deserves to get some revenge. How much revenge, all of the revenge? He then angrily tells him that he is such a $%@&ing baby.
(flashback)
Deadpool remembers again when he and his dad went to the cemetery where his mother was buried. As he was crying, his dad called him a baby. Something in Wade snapped and he said that he’s a baby? Saying it again, he pulls a bottle of alcohol out of the glove-box. His dad starts to tell him to put it back but Wade ignores him and smacks him in the face with it. As he does, he tells his dad that he’s a baby and asks if baby wants his bottle. Falling out of the car, bloody, Wade’s dad asks him to “ftop, pleave, he gibs up.” Initially shocked by what he just did, Wade begins to laugh. He tells his dad that he gibs up too and starts to laugh uncontrollably. Getting back into the car, his dad asks him why he’s lapping. Taking a swig from the bottle, Wade replies because it’s funny.
Deadpool then tells Logan that he’s not the one who has a problem with reality, he is. Life is stupid, laugh at it. Logan replies that he’s a moron. Deadpool replies maybe, but he outsmarted him so… Logan informs him that he didn’t outsmart him. Looking at the lever, Deadpool states okay, right, he didn’t outsmart him and that it doesn’t matter what he thinks. Logan replies that he thinks it does. Deadpool angrily says to him that he thinks he needs his approval. He thinks he’s looking for some, what’s it called, validation? Nooope, wrong answer &%@#head! He says that he knows some people think he’s just a failed attempt at re-creating him, but they’re the morons because they can’t understand that he’s something else. Something better, obviously! He means, there he is, hanging from the ceiling like a dummy and look at him. Looking into the water below, Deadpool sees his disfigured face, puts his mask back on and states that he’s the one who should be out for revenge.
Logan asks him what the hell is this; the tears of a clown? He is what he is an’ that’s it. Now since, he healin’ factor’s so damn impressive, how about he grow a pair an’ pull that lever. ‘Cause if he’s about to go on about how mean this world’s been to him, he think he’d rather $#%*in’ drown. Deadpool replies ohmygod he is a piece of $%#* and asks if anyone actually likes him. Logan replies not really but a lot o’ folks act like they do because they know it’s better to be his friend than his enemy. Deadpool exclaims exactly, because they know what he is and they’re dealing with it, unlike him. Logan asks what… Deadpool states that he said it himself, you are what you is. Wait – that was Zappa. What was it he said, never mind. He tells Logan that he’s a hypocrite.
Logan says how about pullin’ on that lever instead o’ his… Deadpool tells him that he cannot deal with what he is. He is Deadpool, “the merc with the mouth.” Good shots and bad jokes, that’s him. He’s Wolverine, the berserker Wildman of the woods. He’s the best at what he does and what he does isn’t pretty. Now, that means he kills people, right? Right?
Logan then thinks to himself all of the people he has killed in his past – Sabretooth, Hellfire guards, Taras Romanov, Betsy, Lady Deathstrike, Mariko Yashida, Xorn, amongst others. Logan then says to Wade yeah that’s him, a killer. But some o’ those he killed, maybe most of ‘em didn’t deserve… Deadpool cuts him off, and says oops, his bad. Didn’t stop him from being accepted into the X-Men, did it? Logan asks, “the X-Men?” Deadpool says talks about the hypocrisy. He means, if they let him in, you’d think they’d let anybody in but nooo. Logan says that he wants to… He’s not even a mutant. Deadpool says he’s not, but he’s not exactly human, is he. Y’know, maybe they did only want him because they were afraid of him of because they knew they could use him. But at least they wanted him.
At that moment, a voice comes from the other side of the room and says “abandonment issues, perhaps some unresolved conflict with your father.” Perhaps he should sympathize. Pointing his gun at Daken and his eyes drawn to his Mohawk, Deadpool wonders who he is and what’s up with the hair. Daken tells Deadpool that he’s really enjoyed watching him work but sadly, it’s curtains for his little comedy act. Don’t make him get the hook. Deadpool clicks his gun and tells him to hold on there “last of the Mohicans.” He’s the one who tells the jokes around there. Just then, he holds his hand up to his ear and pretends it’s a phone. He tells Daken that was 1985 and it wants its…
In a flash, Deadpool looks to his arm and discovers his left hand has been cut off. He says “wow.” He has to hand it to him. Standing before his father, Daken recommends to Deadpool that he should leave now; he’s in over his head. With that, he pulls the lever which causes Logan to fall into the pool below.

The Deep End – Conclusion (Part Five)
As Logan is submerged in the tank of water after Daken pulled the lever, Deadpool says to Daken that he was gonna do that. Daken replies yes, well it looked like he could use a hand. The one-handed Deadpool peers at him and says “oh no, you didn’t just steal my thunder.” He’s the guy who took out Wolverine and that’s a big deal. That’s something you get what the kids call “mad props” for. He then calls Daken some bushwhacking euro-trash weirdo. He’s the man!
Daken calmly asks him if he’s done yet. With his good right hand, Deadpool points his gun at him and tells him no. As soon as he opens up fire, Daken is nowhere to be found. In the next split second, Daken kicks Deadpool’s arm, causing the gun to fly out of his hand. Deadpool tells him big deal, he can disappear or he has super-speed. Oooooh, he’s so impressed. He’s taken out plenty of guys like him and it’s not because he was born with some… Daken, taking off his jacket, cuts him off and tells him that he doesn’t have any super-powers or, at least, none like he’s described. As loathsome as it is to admit, he’s no faster than he is.
Deadpool immediately pulls out a knife and leaps towards Daken. As he does, he wonders if you ever had one of those moments when you really needed a killer line but you couldn’t think of one? When his knife meets only the wall, Daken is out of the way again and slugs him in the face and follows that up with a kick to his spine. While he flings Deadpool against the wall, he tells him that he can’t disappear. He is simply, always, where his enemy isn’t looking. It is a skill that he learned from the master himself.
Picking himself up off the floor, Deadpool tells him oh yeah “grasshopper,” he has some skills too. Daken peers towards the ground and notices two grenades laying there with their pins pulled. Calmly, he kicks them into the tank as Deadpool calls out to him not to. When they land in the water, they explode. The corresponding blast flings Logan out of the water and frees him from his bonds. As he lays on the ground unconscious, Deadpool asks Daken if he had any idea how hard it was to get Logan in there. Daken responds boo-hoo.
At that moment, Deadpool flings himself through the air to deliver a flying kick to Daken’s face. Daken grabs his leg and jams one of his claws into his leg which causes Deadpool to call out in pain. Preparing to deliver a punch, Deadpool tells him no fair. With extreme calmness, Daken slices off his other hand and tells him definitely not “fair” but then how could it be. Lying on the ground, Deadpool tells Daken that he’s just like him. At that moment, Daken’s face goes from calm to extreme anger and he proceeds to tell Deadpool that he should not have said that. Seeing he has pushed a button, Deadpool says why, does that bother him?
Daken replies by taking a swipe at Deadpool which he is able to dodge. Deadpool replies that he guesses he’ll take that as a “yes.” After dodging the swipe, Deadpool is able to kick Daken in the back of the head, slamming his face into the wall. As Daken slumps against the wall, Deadpool tells him “not bad, eh.” And if he thought that was an impressive display of hand-to-hand combat wait’ll he sees what he can do when he actually has hands. As his hands grow back, Deadpool says to Daken that Logan stole his stylist away, right. That’s why he’s so peeved with Wolverine. Because now, he’s like wandering blindly through the fashion jungle, ineptly feeling his way through the dark with that stupid freakin’ shark fin he has on top of his head.
Enraged, Daken responds by kicking Deadpool in the spine and punching him as hard as he can. As he does so, he screams that Logan’s his father. Holding up Deadpool, and pointing his claws at him, Daken tells him that he’s going to kill Logan for it, not him. Deadpool replies so he’s not gonna kill him, sweet. Daken looks at him and says yes, he’s – wait, no. He meant… Deadpool looks at him and says that he meant what jackass. Livid with that comment, Daken slices Deadpool across the chest. As he falls the ground, Deadpool tells him gutsy move. Daken laughs and says thank you. His approval means so very much to him. Deadpool weakly says that he means it’s one thing for him to go toe-to-toe with Wolverine. He’s crazy. What’s his excuse?
At that moment, Logan stands behind Daken and tells him it’s time. Removing his shirt, Daken replies that it’s long past time old man. Logan informs him that this won’t hurt a bit. Daken says yes, it will. Without moving, Logan tells him no it won’t, Bucky’s a helluva shot. Daken wonders who and then a gunshot is heard. From a nearby rooftop, the Winter Soldier, once known as James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, stands there with a smoking rifle.
Bucky then recalls what has brought him to this point – him admitting that he murdered Logan’s wife and unborn baby. Emma Frost telling Logan that Itsu’s baby, his son, lives and Logan telling him that they got some unfinished business an’ someday soon, they’re gonna settle it. He also recalls when the Tinkerer made Logan the carbonadium rounds and how they were left for him with a note from Logan informing him that that he’ll let him know who and when. He also recalls Deadpool being offered the job to take Wolverine out. Taking the remaining two rounds, Bucky walks away. While he does, he says to himself one down, two to go.
Inside the warehouse, Logan tells Daken that, after what he did in Berlin, springin’ him from the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, he knew he’d never let anybody take him down permanently, anybody but him. So he got Bucky to put on a costume an’ hire that clown over there, referring to Deadpool, to do just that, take him out. All in the hope he’d come to him because he would’ve never found him otherwise. He then tells Daken that there’s a rifle slug make o’ carbonadium lodged in his brain. Logan then recalls when members of Team X research team experimented with the carbonadium and how it slowed the healing factor to a relative crawl. Logan then tells Daken that the carbonadium will keep his healin’ factor from kickin’ in. Not forever, just long enough for him to take him someplace secure. It took almost a hundred years for him to get his own mind back. Now, he’s gonna get his back, too. Picking up his son, he tells him it’s gonna be okay, he’s with him now.
A he walks away Logan tells Wade that if he can hear him to listen up. This was what it was, there ain’t no money. An’ maybe he could’a taken him out, maybe not. He don’t give a damn an’ neither should he. But if he come gunnin’ for him like this again, he’ll kill him. Then he’ll cut him up into pieces an’ eat him. He’d like to see him come back from that. Laying on the ground, Deadpool says he would. He’s like bad Mexican food, he’ll always come back to haunt him. In his deranged mind, it’s already round two between him and a skinny Wolverine.

Son of X – Part 1
“It ain’t like I’m the only fella ever done bad but there’s few that’ve done worse.”
Tule Lake War Relocation Facility – Newell, California – 1943
Walking up to a group of Japanese inmates, Logan, in his military garb, tells them in Japanese that he is their friend. He is there to help them. He tells them they are unwanted in this country. However, due to both the war and the fact that the United States government suspects they may be spies, they will not be deported back to Japan. Instead, they and their families will remain detained indefinitely. He adds that they have no rights, no recourse. He is offering them an opportunity to change this. As the inmates load into a van a fellow soldier asks Logan what about their families. Logan informs him that he knows the orders. The soldier asks even the children? Logan grits his teeth and replies believe him, the next generation will only be worse.
Carrying an unconscious Daken over his shoulder, Logan, wearing his brown and tan costume, reaches his destination – the Medicine Lake lava beds near Newell, California. He recalls this is where he brought ‘em – eleven men, condemned to a fate worse’n death – by him. He had to use his sense o’ smell to find the way. The caves, lava tubes actually, went on for miles in complete darkness. Those men must’ve thought he was takin’ ‘em to hell. He was.
Inside the lava beds, the prisoners were put through extreme experiments. He doesn’t know the exact details as far as what they were doin’ to those poor bastards or why but his orders were simple. He was the guard dog. Only he kept people in instead o’ out. If anybody ran, an’ a few of ‘em did, he put ‘em down quick an’ clean – anybody. When one of the soldiers tried to run away, Logan asked him where he thought he was goin’. When the soldier replied that he can’t do this, it’s unholy; Logan told him that all of a sudden he got religion. He then added that he better hurry up an’ pray then and proceeded to shoot him in the temple, killing him. The experiment went on for days. Durin’ that time, whoever commissioned the study either did or didn’t find out what they wanted to know. Only thing he was told was that no one was to ever know about it. The experimenters and victims were murdered all by Logan’s hand. The lab was even blown up with explosives. Now, Logan is the only one who does.
Laying Daken on a table inside the caverns, Logan tells him this is where he’s gonna lay low while he finishes up his business with Romulus. When he comes back, he’ll bring someone to help him. Touching his son’s face, Logan states that his mother’s name was Itsu. Her name meant peace. He then wonders why there is no peace in him.
Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, 1946
On the ground, a newborn baby, covered in blood, screams at the top of their lungs. When the voice is heard, a young woman asks her husband Akihira what he has found. Akihira informs his wife, Natsumi, that it is a baby boy. Someone has left them a baby boy. Natsumi says it’s what they’ve always dreamed of. Their prayers have been answered. Out on the porch of their house, Akihira tells his new son that for years they have prayed for a son but it was as if the Kami were deaf to their prayers. But now, he is there and he is his son. And what is his shall be his sons. Raising his son up, he says first he will need a name.
Nine years later, four bullies tell the young child that he’s not Japanese; he’s of mixed heritage, a mongrel – Daken. Hearing that, the young man yells out not for them to call him that. His name is Akihiro. The leader of the bullies tells him that in the house, he is Akihiro, son of Akihira. But out there, to them he is Daken, the mongrel who found his way into the master’s cupboard. In short order, Akihiro is beaten down. When he is on his knees gasping for air, his father Akihira arrives and asks what is happening. Akihiro informs him not to be alarmed, the boys were teaching him a lesson. Akihira asks what the lesson is. Akihiro replies that the lesson they have taught him is that the fool rushes into a fight when he is outnumbered, the wise man waits until his enemies are alone.
Later, the parents of one of the bullies, Tonai, is found dead by his parents. At the funeral, the remaining three bullies are freaked out by Akihiro and his actions. After the proceedings, Akihira takes his son to the Torri, they must pray. Once there, Akihira tells his son that there is nothing more tragic than for a father to live beyond the life of a son. It was there that he prayed for his arrival. It is there, now, that he prays he will never leave him. He is his son, no words can ever make it not so. Noticing that his son is shaking, he asks him why he is doing so. Akihiro tells his father it is because of the dragon they kneel before, it frightens him. Akihira informs his son that it isn’t the dragon that he fears, it is the power that it represents. This is the magic of symbols. Akihiro asks his father if the dragon is the most powerful. Akihira says yes, the most powerful and the most feared.
At another time, Natsumi tells her husband to please forgive her for what she is about to say but she has no love in her heart for Akihiro. Akihira asks how she can say this; he has brought them such happiness. Natsumi asks her husband if he feels that his emotions are still his own. Their happiness comes only when he is happy. Has he not noticed that when he is angry, they feel that as well? The boy is cursed, and they have brought the curse into their house. Akihira tells her enough. It has been only a few years. Given time, love for the boy will grow inside her. Natsumi tells her no, it will not. But there is something else that does grow inside her, she is pregnant. Up above, Akihiro watches intently.
One year later, Natsumi walks in on Akihiro reading a book. She apologizes for she did not know he was… Akihiro tells her not to apologize and offers her to take a seat. He tells her that he has found the most wonderful book. Natsumi notices that it is written in Greek, did his father teach him… Akihiro informs her that he taught himself. It is a book about the Spartans. The most feared warriors the world has ever known. He asks her if she knew that if a Spartan woman gave birth to a baby that she thought was unworthy, she left it on the cliffs to die. But often, the peasants came and took the babies to raise as their own. Perhaps that’s what he is, a great warrior who was abandoned on a cliff by a woman’s foolishness. Natsumi asks if he considers her a peasant then. Akihiro tells her no, he considers her a fool and he considers her baby to be unworthy.
When Natsumi finds their newborn baby dead in his crib, Akihira takes his son outside in the rain and tells him to leave the house, never to return. When Akihiro calls out to his father no, Akihira tells him that he renounces him as his son and no longer shall he have the name Akihiro. Angered, Daken yells at him that was never his true name anyway. Just then, Natsumi charges at him with a rifle that has a bayonet affixed to the end. Once she gets close, the loud crack of thunder is heard. Daken looks down at his hand to see his claws and is in shock. Holding his dead wife, Akihira cries out. Picking up the rifle, Akihira points it at Daken. When Daken pleads, Akihira drops the rifle to his side and says he cannot. He is weak.
With that, he points the rifle at the base of his chin and pulls the trigger. With both of his parents dead, Daken looks around and asks who is watching and calls out who is there. From inside the forest, a dark menacing figure tells Daken to look deep into the shadows and there he will find him. Upon seeing him, Daken asks him who he is. The man replies that he is what he will become.
In the present:
Carving the name Romulus into his hand with his claw, Logan asks where he is. All the pieces are comin’ together but he still doesn’t have a target, just a name. Squeezing the blood in his hand, Logan loses it and pops his claws. Screaming out in an guttural growl, Logan begins to swipe his claws about wildly. As he does so, he catches a man’s leg with his claws. When he turns around, another man cracks him over the head with a boulder, knocking him out. Once he is out cold, two men drag him back into the cave.
Later, once Logan awakens, he finds himself strapped up. Before him he sees five men with tubes sticking out all over them and numbers etched into their foreheads. The men begin to talk amongst themselves in Japanese. “It is him.” “But his face, the same!” “It cannot be.” “He wakes.” They ask the gaijin if he remembers them, they remember him…

Son of X – Conclusion (Part 2)
As inmate #6 attempts to bandage up the leg that was severed by Logan’s claws, inmate #1 tells the captive Logan that they were men once, men with wives and children. He asks Logan if he was ever a man. Logan remembers back to his time with Itsu and says yes, once. But (with her death) it was all taken from him. #1 states just as it was from them by him. When they awoke, when they found that the tortures his people had subjected them to had put them beyond the touch of death, they went looking for their families. But they were nowhere to be found. He then grabs Logan by the neck and asks him if he knows where their families are. When Logan doesn’t answer, He tells Logan that they know where his family is.
Just then, five other inmates arrive, carrying the unconscious Daken. #1 then tells Logan not to say he is not his son, he heard him speaking to him. Dropping his eyes, inmate #1 tells Logan that he had a son. He asks Logan if he has brought his son to him to replace his own, is that why he has returned? Spitting in Logan’s face #1 asks Logan who would want a son of his.
In Japan – 1955:
The mysterious figure informs the frightened Daken that his name is Romulus. It is the name by which he is known to men. He tells Daken that his is not a man, nor will he ever be. Daken asks then what is he. Romulus replies that to this world, he is nothing. But to him, he is everything, he is his revenge. Romulus then tells Daken that in order to fulfill his destiny, he must first be trained. It may take many, many years but he will be with him always in the shadows.
Western Canada – 1959:
Watching Daken exit the car and walk up to the complex, Silas Burr tells Hudson that this better be worth his while ‘cause he was havin’ a real high time over there in Indochina. Hudson informs him that it is always worthy his while to heed his call. But something tells him it isn’t really the money that he’s interested in. Burr asks if he’s sayin’ he’s bein’ disingenuous. Hudson tells him no, he’s saying that he enjoys hurting people. And he’s saying that the fact that he pays him to do just that is merely the icing on the cake.
Later that day, Silas walks down the line of the new recruits. When he gets to one of the recruits, he punches the man across the face, almost knocking his head off, and killing him instantly. All of the other recruits are shocked with the exception of Daken, who stays completely still. Silas then asks the recruits if anybody cares to guess why he did that. When he asks Daken, the response is no and that he doesn’t care. Silas tells him good answer and asks him what his name is.
Inside his office, Hudson’s secretary walks in unannounced and calls him by his first name, Frederick. When Hudson replies “I beg your pardon,” the secretary apologizes to Mr. Hudson and says that after that night, she thought they… Hudson informs her, Ms. MacDonald, “that night” was meaningless to him as it should be for her. He then asks her if she finished writing the letter to his wife. Ms. MacDonald stammers y-yes… Hudson cuts her off and tells her very good. He then asks her if there was something he needed to ask him. At first Ms. MacDonald tells him no but then she says that there is. She needs to go to Vancouver to see a doctor. Hudson points to the keys hanging over on the wall and tells her that he can spare a truck but not a driver. He trusts she’ll be able to make the journey herself. Grabbing the keys, Ms. MacDonald leaves the office sobbing and calling Hudson a bastard.
Nine months later, Silas Burr tells the recruits that women are a lot more resistant to torture than men are, it actually toughens ‘em up in most cases. So beatin’ on ‘em is counter-productive. Fun, but counter-productive. He then notices that Daken is missing and asks where he has gone to. One of the recruits informs him that he disappeared last night. Burr asks the recruit so he’s a magician now and why didn’t he have that Intel. He then tells the recruit to form two squads. The squad that finds their little deserter gets liberties, the squad that doesn’t answers to him. In the woods, Romulus informs Daken that the facility and the men who run it have outlived their usefulness to him. He orders Daken to burn it from the face of the earth and to leave no man alive. With a wild look in his eyes, Daken tells him as he commands master.
Walking into Hudson’s office, Silas Burr tells Hudson that they have a problem. When Hudson asks how big of a problem, Burr tells him a little under six feet maybe. Looking out his window, Hudson sees Daken killing the other recruits and burning the facility to the ground. Hudson then tells Silas that he would like him to take care of this, his salary has just been tripled. Silas tells him nah, it’s like he said, he ain’t in it for the money. Pulling a pistol out of his drawer, Hudson calls Silas a traitorous son of a…
Turning his back on him, Silas tells Hudson that he’s gonna miss. Raising his pistol, Hudson tells him no he… Silas tells him yeah he will, he’s behind him. With that, Daken slashes Hudson across the face, killing him. When he does so, Silas begins to laugh. Stopping for a second he states that he doesn’t know why he’s laughing. Daken states that he does, it’s because he’s having the time of his life.
As the two of them begin to battle, Daken remembers Romulus asking him if he has ever noticed that he has the ability to alter people’s moods, to make them feel as he feels. Daken says no, but he heard his mother say something about it once. Romulus told him just as his body must be trained, so too, must his mind. Eventually, he will be able to make others feel as he wants them to, rather than only, how he, himself feels. He will be able to cast fear into his enemies and he will be able to mask his true intentions by lulling his enemies into a false sense of security. They are wolves, but he shall wear sheep’s clothing.
During the battle, Silas is able to get in a bunch of good shots but eventually, Daken is able to get behind him and shoot him in the back with Hudson’s pistol. When Silas is on the ground, Daken puts his boot on Silas’ face and points the gun at his head. Romulus then appears and informs Daken to wait, he has plans for this one. Defiantly, Silas tells him that his plan better include killin’ him. Romulus tells him that it’s just the opposite in fact. At least, in theory. He then asks him if he has ever heard of a metal called “adamantium.”
Present time:
Secured to the wall, Logan thinks to himself that he’s spent a couple o’ lifetimes trainin’ to get outta scrapes just like this. He could be free in less than a second an’ his adamantium claws would take care o’ the rest. Looking over at #6, Logan notices that his leg is healin’ at an accelerated rate but it ain’t regeneratin’, it’s just healin’ over. Tellin’ him that all he has to do is take a bit off the top an’ they are done. But he can’t bring himself to do it. For what he’s done to them and their families, he deserves every bit o’ what they got to throw at him. An’ Daken, it ain’t like he’s innocent either.
Herat, Afghanistan – 1977:
Inside a building, Daken has slaughtered a number of Afghan soldiers. Once he is finished, he leaves a note with a knife on the table. Romulus then tells him that he has done well, even his father would be impressed. When Daken hears that, he gets extremely angry. Romulus tells him that his father lives. Daken says that he assumed he was dead. Romulus replies and he, you. He then tells Daken that he killed his mother with him in her belly. Does he want to know why? Because he was afraid of what he would become. He was afraid of him. He adds that the world is theirs but it is sullied. It must be washed clean with blood and no one is innocent.
Present time:
Logan says no, they ain’t so what’s one more tear in the ocean. With that, he breaks free of his restraints and chops the head off of #6. When #1 sees what he has done, Logan grabs him from behind and tells him to go to his family now and leave vengeance behind. In short time, #1 is dead as well.
Putting his mask on, Logan runs down the hallway looking for the other inmates. He wonders where they are and notices that he can’t smell anything but the blood. When he gets to them, he finds them all dead by Daken’s hand. Daken informs him that they were going to… Daken then proceeds to ask who he (Logan) is and who he (Daken) is. Preparing himself for battle, Logan sees that Daken is awake but he doesn’t remember anything.

Original Sin: Prologue
With the bodies of a bunch of dead prisoners of war strewn around him, an amnesiac Daken asks Logan who he is, and who he, Daken, is. Logan wonders to himself what he should say to him. What can he say to him? That he’s his father? That his name is “Daken,” which is Japanese for mongrel? That, because of what he is, because of what they are, his mother was slaughtered and he, barely alive, was stolen from her dyin’ womb an’ raised as a killer by a heartless monster named Romulus? Anything he says could trigger his memories an’ his programming. The carbonadium bullet lodged in his brain is slowin’ his healin’ factor to a crawl but that ain’t gonna last forever. Hell, for all he knows, it won’t last through the night. At any moment, he could remember just how much he hates him. Daken’s his son, so he’s gotta assume he’s got the same built-in “lie-detector” as he does, so this is one o’ those times where he’s gotta tell the truth, but not the whole truth.
Removing his mask and popping his claws, Logan tells Daken that he’s a friend, he’s like him. Looking at the carnage around them, Logan thinks to himself that Daken’s already shown him that, whatever Romulus did to him, goes to the bone. When he woke up, his first instinct was to kill. But, for the time bein’, at least, he doesn’t know why. He knows that he has to move fast. He then tells Daken that he’s gonna take him somewhere, to someone who can help him. When Daken asks who, Logan thinks about Professor Charles Xavier and thinks good question. He was shot and killed by Bishop. Daken asks if it will be another friend, causing Logan to think about Emma Frost and how she is a friend only when she wants to be. Logan proceeds to tell Daken that he hopes so and leads him out of the cave.
Up near the highway, Logan sees a pickup truck driving down the road and starts to flag it down. As he does, he thinks to himself that he’s always tried to keep his personal business away from the other X-Men for lots o’ reasons. But mainly ‘cause his personal business gets innocent people hurt. When the truck stops, the driver asks Logan what he’s wearing. Logan tells him that they were drivin’ back from a costume party an’ their car quit on them. The man says uh huh and goes for his gun. He then asks Logan where his car is and asks how many of them there are anyway.
Just then, Daken reaches through the back window of the truck, drags the man to the roof and prepares to kill him. While he does, Logan thinks to himself that nothin’ but bad luck brought the poor guy to this place at this time. But there he is anyway, about to die for nothin’. Just then, Logan calls out to Daken and tells him that he doesn’t have to kill him. Daken hears him and drops the man to the ground with a thud. Logan immediately heads over to the man and tells him that they’re takin’ the truck but he can keep the gun. The man protests that he doesn’t want it but Logan tells him to take it anyway. Popping his claws, he informs the man that, if he tells anybody he saw them, anybody, ever, they’ll know an’ they’ll come an’ find him. An’ all the bullets in the world won’t save him.
As Logan drives the truck down the road with Daken in tow, he thinks to himself that, as bad as that could’ve been, it’s given him some real hope. Daken could’a killed that guy easy, easier’n jerkin’ ‘im outta the cab o’ the truck, that’s for sure. An’ when he told ‘im to stop, he did. He’s not too far gone. He’s not like Creed; he can be saved. Logan knows that it can’t be by him. He saved Creed by chopping off his head with a sword. He needs help, Daken needs help, the kind that only the X-Men can give them. Just like with him, all those years ago. They’re Daken’s only chance at becomin’ somethin’ else, somethin’ more. But just ‘cause it’s the only choice don’t mean it’s an easy one ‘cause it all comes down to this. Involvin’ the X-Men with Daken means involvin’ ‘em with Romulus. An’ that’s somethin’ he’d hoped he would never do – again.
Logan recalls that it was his last mission as an agent of Romulus. Just like usual, it was a double-black op, a secret mission “piggy-backed” by an even more secret mission. He had his official orders issued by the Canadian military and then he had his other orders, ultimately issued by Romulus but delivered to him through a “letterbox” – a pawn. Also, just like usual, he was told the bare minimum. Someone, “X”, was actively recruiting. Phase one of his mission was to make sure he got recruited. To ensure that happened, an’ this was the part that was completely unusual, he was sent out into the world to show “X” what he could do an’ who he could do it to.
At that moment, Logan leaped into the brawl between the Incredible Hulk and the monstrous Wendigo. When he lands, he initially attacked the Hulk with his claws. For all the good they did him, he may as well’ve been tryin’ to sing the Hulk to sleep. Dodging a swipe from the Wendigo, Logan counter-strikes with a stab to its arm. With that, Logan discovered that his claws did work on the Wendigo and decided on a new plan and proceeded to attack the Wendigo with his full furry. During the battle, they tumbled down a hill as Logan continued to slash away at the Wendigo. Everybody thinks that the Hulk is dumb. They’re right but he is smart enough to kill ya an’ he’s smart enough to know that the enemy of his friend is his friend.
At that moment, the Hulk joins the fracas and proceeds to beat on the Wendigo with all of his might. Through their teamwork, they are able to take the Wendigo down, ending with Logan’s claws jammed into the face of the Wendigo. With their enemy down, Logan immediately goes after the Hulk. When his attempt at key-holing the Hulk in the ear, his only shot, fails, the Hulk tells Logan that he is not his friend. As he takes a devastating punch from the Hulk, Logan recalls there ain’t many around who can describe what it feels like to get hit by the Hulk. Simple fact bein’ there ain’t many around who can survive to tell the tale. There ain’t no pain at first. It’s like he hits ya so damn hard ya actually leave yer own body. It’s when ya come back that ya feel the pain. An’ ya realize yer goin’ toe-to-toe with a walkin’ earthquake.
Before the Hulk can deliver the final blow, a helicopter arrives on the scene and orders Wolverine to stand down; his mission time has elapsed, they’ll take it from there. Picking himself up slowly, Logan says that he can take ‘im. Logan recalls what a load o’ B.S. that was. He also remembers that the Canucks quickly figured out that a direct assault against the Hulk would only end in tears so they gassed ‘im. That was a good idea, but then they put ‘im in a cage – bad idea. When the Hulk awakens, he leaps from the cage attached to the helicopter down into the woods below. Watching the Hulk escape, the pilot informs his commanding officer what he has seen and asks if they should pursue. The officer tells him no and to just get back to base alive. Healing up on the helicopter, Logan recalls that he didn’t argue the point. He’d gone up against the Hulk an’ walked away in one piece. If that didn’t impress “X”, nothin’ would.
It did. Back at Department H, Wolverine is informed by a fellow soldier that brass wanted to see him in conference. When he walks in on him, the soldier sees Wolverine stuffing dead bodies into body bags. It was a little bit o’ business he wanted to take care of before he left, tertiary objective stuff, completely elective. But he’s always been thorough when it comes to killin’.
Once he has killed the soldier who caught him in the act, Wolverine heads to the office and asks the general who baldy is. Professor Xavier informs him that there’s really no need to talk to him. He’s a telepath and the general is only saying what he wants him to say anyway. The general says that’s true actually. Wolverine remarks that he asked a question and that it ain’t somethin’ he often does. So when he does it, he expects an answer. Xavier replies fair enough and introduces himself. Logan knew immediately that he was the man named “X” he was told about. Xavier then tells him that he’s a friend and that he’s there to make him an offer. But that doesn’t surprise him, does it. He tells Logan that he can help him. Shocked by hearing his name being spoken, Logan asks how.

Original Sin: Part III
In Panama, Claudine tells Sebastian Shaw that it is quite a devious little plan he’s come up with. But, she asks, what about when Wolverine finds out that the Hellfire Club had nothing to do with his son’s kidnapping? Shaw ponders for a moment and tells her that is an interesting question. Even more interesting, to him at least, is the question of who will be left alive to tell him.
At the New York headquarters of the Hellfire Club, Wolverine begins his assault on Castlemere, Mercedes and the feline version of Turner Scholl. Dodging a blast from Castlemere, he deftly delivers a kick to his stomach and follows up with a punch to Mercedes and an elbow shot to Scholl. While he does all these things, he thinks to himself that he’s gotta pour it on, keep ‘em from coordinatin’ their efforts for at least he next second.
Just then, a fiery blast rocks the Hellfire Club. When it does, Wolverine recalls that, on his way there, he rigged their psi-shield generator to blow for a couple ‘a reasons. First, it provides one helluva distraction, an’ second…
Continuing his assault on the Inner Circle, Wolverine asks Professor Charles Xavier mentally if he’s in. Xavier replies that he is but he, Logan, needs to get out. When Wolverine asks him why, Xavier tells him that he needs to get out of there now. Logan proceeds to ask what the Hellfire Club knows. Xavier informs him about Daken, nothing. When he hears that, Wolverine tells Scholl bad news. This little get-together just went from interrogation to execution. With that, he plunges his claws below Scholl’s chin and up through his head, killing him. Xavier then informs him that this was a set-up and that somehow, they’ve been convinced that Shaw…
Logan cuts him off and tells him that he knows. Upon hearing that, Xavier asks that he knows, then why is he? Before Logan can answer him, he is shot in the back with a blast from Castlemere. Enraged, Logan brushes it off and leaps at the two remaining members of the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle.
In Panama, Claudine screams in pain and proceeds to fall to the ground in a heap. When Shaw asks her what happened, Claudine tells him that he told her to monitor the situation at the Hellfire Club. Well, the situation just changed. Somebody just kicked open the psychic doors of the Hellfire Club. Shaw tells her that would be Wolverine and in spectacular fashion, no doubt. Looking at his reaction, Claudine remarks that he almost looks happy. Shaw replies that he is indeed. He feels like a child at Christmas time, staring at a beautiful present under the tree with his name on it. Waiting for him to strip away its wrapping and revel it in all its glory. As they talk, Daken sits up in his bed and pops the claws on his right hand, peering at them intently. Down below, Shaw asks Claudine if she has any sense of what’s happening at the old club. Claudine informs her just one sense – fear.
At the destroyed remains of the Hellfire Club in New York, Mercedes tells Castlemere that she thinks he made their adversary angry. Castlemere tells her no, he made him foolish. With that, Castlemere blasts a charging Wolverine with everything he has. Unfortunately for him, it did him no good as Logan grabs him by the throat. Castlemere continues to blast Wolverine but it does little good.
Watching the two of them struggle, Mercedes tells Castlemere that they’re too close together; she can’t use her powers. When she sees Wolverine’s claws mere centimeters away from Castlemere’s eyes, she figures the hell with it, he’s a goner anyway. Unleashing her blast, she calls out that she’ll be damned if she’s gonna wait around for her turn. In turn, the full extent of the blast blows Wolverine and Castlemere and they fly through the air until they land in a thud. As she runs off, Mercedes remarks “well, that’s one way to get a promotion.” When he gets up Wolverine sees a dead Castlemere and thinks to himself that the Hellfire Club never exactly was a place to make friends but they must really be at each others’ throats around there.
In short time, at the nearby location of the Gate of Heaven cemetery where Xavier was stationed, Xavier grabs Logan by the collar and yells at him. Logan calmly tells him that, ‘less he wants to end up back in a wheelchair, he suggests he take his hands off of him. Removing his hands, Xavier turns away from him and says to Logan that he knew the Hellfire Club had nothing to do with Daken’s disappearance but he attacked them anyway! Logan replies that a bad guy’s a bad guy. Just ‘cause they’re innocent ‘a one thing don’t make ‘em not guilty of another. Turning around to face him, Xavier says to him “a bad guy’s a bad guy,” and asks him if he really believes that. Logan tells him damn right he does. Xavier asks him why he believes Daken should be spared then. Logan tells him to see if this rings any bells – “it is not the gallows that kills…
It is the hangman.” Years ago, Xavier told Logan that very statement in his office. He also told him that he is a weapon and just like any weapon, he is incapable of solely committing murder, he has simply been used to do so. Logan asked him that he knew he was sent to kill him, how? Can he read his mind? Xavier told him only fragments, not as a whole and that’s remarkable. Logan asked him then how. Xavier informs him that he was psychically monitoring him during his battle with the Hulk and the Wendigo. He then asked Logan if he realizes that even when he was delivering the killing stroke to the Wendigo, he never once thought about killing him. But it was in that moment, when he intentionally unfocused his psychic awareness, hoping to side-step the barrage of psionic dissonance that emanates from such things that he heard it.
When Logan asked “heard what,” Xavier tells him his name “X.” He linked to it almost casually, floating like a child’s balloon tied to his wrist by a string was the blackest, most terrifying cluster of psychic energy he’s ever encountered. He told Logan that he never thought about killing the Wendigo but he did think about killing him. Logan replied that he let him get close to him anyway. He let him in his house, why? Xavier simply told him – because he needs a weapon.
Back in the present time in the cemetery, Logan tells Xavier “surprise Charlie, you’re a bastard too. Welcome to the club.” Just then, Logan sniffs the air and Xavier points out that there is a man with a rifle at seven o’clock high and that there are three others as well. Before Xavier can be gunned down, Logan pushes him out of the way and takes the blast for him. With Xavier safe, Logan leaps into action and charges the gunmen. With one swift move, he slices the arm off of one of the gunmen. When he does so, he uses the gunman as a shield and mows down the rest of the gunmen with a rifle.
After he shoots the last one, Xavier tells him to keep the one that he sliced the arm off of alive. Logan tells him okay but he better hurry. It looks like he sprung a leak. As the gunmen starts to bleed profusely, he tells Xavier that he’ll never tell him. Xavier replies that he already has.
Just then, the gunman falls to the ground, dead. Logan proceeds to ask Xavier if they were Shaw’s boys to which Xavier tells him yes, sent to kill him. Logan responds that he guesses they didn’t expect him back so soon. Xavier tells him “or he did.” He informs Logan that Shaw is planning a coup d’etat of the Hellfire Club. And he’s incorporated him, Logan, and obviously Daken into his plans. When the psi-shield generator inside the Hellfire Club went down, he immediately felt Shaw’s corrupt resonance within every chamber. Not long ago, there was an embittered battle over who should replace Sunspot as Lord Imperial made moreso by Shaw, who stoked the argument by first supporting one side then the other. He’s done everything he can to produce the maximum amount of animosity and distrust. In doing so, he’s cutting a clear path to the throne.
Logan states that explains why he threw him at the Inner Circle. Xavier tells him yes, but it doesn’t reveal his intentions for Daken. Logan says yeah it does an’ Xavier knows it. Shaw needs a weapon to back up his authority just like he did, back then. But he knows exactly how to take that weapon away, doesn’t he? If his askin’ wasn’t enough for him to do it, then this’d better be. Xavier tells him that he can’t but Logan tells him no, he can’t change Daken, just like he couldn’t change him. But he can change what side he’s on by just…
… blocking effectively all of Logan’s embedded programming.” – words spoken by Xavier years ago in his office. Xavier told him that when he wakes, he will remember only that he’s forgotten. Logan asked him what if he don’t remember who he is. Xavier informed him that he will remember who he is. He will remember that he is an X-Man and that is the only thing that matters.

Original Sin: Conclusion (Part V)
In Panama, Wolverine stands in front of Daken and tells him that he’s in no condition to fight him and that he’s in no mood to fight him. Daken replies tough talk pops but it lacks impact, coming from someone who looks like they’ve had their ass handed to them. Wolverine replies that it ain’t his blood but he is. With that, Wolverine retracts his claws. Popping his own, Daken tells him that he’s just made a very big mistake and proceeds to rush at Wolverine.
As Daken slashes Wolverine across the chest, he thinks to himself that he needs to keep it down, keep it controlled. Daken then punches him in the chin and follows up with a kick to his gut. While he does, Daken yells at him to fight back. Holding his gut in pain, Wolverine tells him that he can’t, he won’t. Heading over to him to inflict further damage, Daken tells him that he better do something old man because if he thinks he’s going to show him mercy…
Wolverine interrupts him and tells him that he doesn’t know what to do. He’s tried everything, he can’t help him. Enraged, Daken asks “help me” and slashes Wolverine again. Grabbing his father in a reverse chokehold, he tells him that he’s not the one who needs “help,” he is. Daken then angrily tosses Wolverine into a brick wall. Picking himself up, Wolverine tells Daken not to stop. He killed his mother. She was beautiful an’ he killed her. Does he want revenge for that? If so, come an’ get it.
But he won’t be there. At that moment, Logan’s mind goes to Japan. Lying underneath a cherry blossom tree, he recalls that he comes there sometimes every time he can. This is the place an’ the time where he was happiest, where he was at peace. This is Jasmine Falls. This is where he met Itsu. He never stays very long, he can’t, because eventually, she leaves an’ she goes to the house. As she does, Logan is attacked by the trees and he slashes away at them with his claws.
In the real world, Wolverine slashes away with his claws and accidentally hits Daken in the leg. Angrily, Daken calls him a son of a… and says that he sandbagged him. Daken then slashes him in the chest again and kicks him in the gut unmercifully.
During the attack, Logan’s mind goes back to Jasmine Falls with cherry blossoms falling on a still pond. He has to stay longer, he wants to stay longer. He doesn’t want her to leave and he doesn’t want her to go to the house. Yelling out no, he rushes after Itsu as she enters the house. Once inside, Professor Charles Xavier tells him that he didn’t kill her. When Logan asks him how, he’s… Xavier says unconscious, yes. He does some of his best work that way. Sitting on the ground he tells Logan that Romulus sends his regards and that his son’s mind contained a trap for telepaths, a bomb of sorts. Fortunately, with the fragmented state his psyche was is, the desired effect was lost.
Xavier then asks Logan why he told Daken that he killed his mother when they both know… Logan informs him that he needs his revenge just like he needs his. Maybe if he lets him have it, he’ll… Xavier cuts him off and states but he didn’t. Logan says that he did kill her. She died because of him, because he loved her. Xavier states that he loved her, yes, with all of his heart. The time he spent with her is his most cherished memory, the place he goes to when all else has failed. Had he and Itsu been allowed to live out their lives together, to raise their son together, the trajectory and tone of both his life and Daken’s would’ve been altered completely. He would’ve been at peace. And that is something Romulus simply would not allow. It was Romulus who killed Itsu, not him. And though it wasn’t his hand that held the blade, it was he who issued the order to a man whose mind was not his own, a man who was incapable of refusing or even questioning such an order - the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes. And it was he, Romulus, who then stole his son from his dying mother’s womb. Logan tells him he knows all this, why is he showing it to him?
Xavier tells him that he’s not showing Logan, he’s showing Daken. Enraged, Daken lashes out and attempts to punch Xavier in the head. Xavier calmly tells him that won’t work. This is all in his heads, his and his father’s. Standing up, Xavier tells them that they’ve arrived there through a sort of telepathic triangulation. This series of events is never far from either of their thoughts but with them both together, both consciously focusing on this one event, it has come vividly to the psychic fore. This is where Logan goes to find peace and where his son, Daken, goes to fuel his rage. Daken turns towards Logan and angrily accuses him of murdering his mother. He left him alone in this pestilent world to be raised as a mongrel. Xavier pipes in and tells Daken that he knows that isn’t true. It was Romulus who killed his mother and it was Romulus who took his father away from…
Daken interrupts him and yells at him not to tell him what he knows and hangs his head. As he takes a seat on the ground, Xavier tells Daken that he was the only one of them who was actually there when Itsu was murdered. Somewhere, buried deep inside his subconscious, he knows what really happened. Quietly, Daken tells them that he wants out of there. Showing him the open door, Xavier tells him that he can’t hold him and tells him that the door is open.
In the real world, Sebastian Shaw enters the room to see the bodies of Wolverine, Xavier, and Daken lying unconscious on the floor. Rushing over to a severely injured Claudine, Shaw asks what is happening. Claudine informs him that it looks like a trance state. As a smile comes across his face, Shaw tells Claudine to get the boat ready. He’ll be down in just a few moments. With that, he picks up a large brick and stands over the prone body of Charles Xavier.
In their minds, Daken angrily looks at the door and then calms down and asks Logan to tell him about her. Logan says how about he shows him. Just then, they are all outside next to the pond and the cherry blossom trees. When Daken reaches out towards Itsu and his hand goes right through her, he pops his claws and tells Logan that it’s not enough. Logan informs him that it’s all he has to give. At that moment, Daken turns towards Xavier and angrily says “you” and asks what made him think he could fill his head with lies, that he would follow him blindly like a fool. Xavier tells him that he told him that won’t…
Daken informs Xavier that he’s not talking to him and proceeds to stab Shaw in the back with his claws and kicks him out of the window into the water below. He was talking to Romulus. Back in the real world, Wolverine puts his hand on Daken’s shoulder and tells him that maybe he does have somethin’ more to give. Somethin’ he needs, somethin’ they both need – revenge. As Xavier begins to stir, he tells Logan that path will only lead him back into darkness and asks if he really wants to take his son with him. Looking back at all the selfish acts he’s committed, what he did to him…
Wolverine asks him what he did to him? He saved his life. Hell, he gave him his life. He then tells Xavier that the memories came back. But in between losin’ ‘em an’ gettin’ ‘em back, he lived a life he can be proud of, he was a hero. Xavier asks what he is now. Standing there with his son, Wolverine tells him that he’s lookin’ at it. As long as Romulus walks the earth, what happened to them can happen again. Fact that they’re gonna kill him outta vengeance don’t matter in the long run. Just like it don’t matter why he did what he did. As he and Daken walk away, Logan tells Xavier that he forgives him. He hopes one day he can do the same for him.

Family Business: Part I
I guess every father hopes that his son turns out, in someway, like himself. In his, Logan’s, case, he got more than he ever could’ve hoped for, his son is just like him. They both got a mutant healing factor capable o’ bringin’ them back even from beyond the grave. They both got heightened senses allowin’ them to hear an’ smell things that others can’t. They were both born armed an’ they’ve both been trained to kill since pretty much the first moment they breathed air. An’ somethin’ else they got in common too. Both of them, with every bit of their black hearts, wanna see Romulus laid out dead before them, his blood on their hands.
Daken has spent almost his entire life as Romulus’ favorite attack dog, Logan’s old job. But whereas he was always kept at a distance, Daken was brought directly into the fold. If anybody knew how to find Romulus, it would be him. Five days ago, Daken told him to follow the trail of blood. The more violent the conflict, the more senseless the slaughter, the more likely they are to find him.
That’s why they’re there in the war-torn village of Rujuka, Halwan in Northern Africa. There, yesterday mornin’, leaders of the D’Wali tribe were s’posed to meet with representatives of the Jono tribe, their ancestral enemies. After generations o’ bloodshed, the two tribes were finally comin’ to the table to work out a peace agreement. It’s unclear whether or not the Jono ever showed up seein’ as how Jono an’ D’Wali teeth an’ bones pretty much look the same. Since nobody immediately claimed responsibility, both sides figured the other had betrayed them.
Yesterday mornin’ after lifetimes o’ war, the people o’ the land were ready to lay down their weapons an’ live together in peace. Today, only death and destruction remains. Dodging some gunfire, Logan goes to tell Daken that they need to get outta the open but finds Daken is nowhere to be found.
Just then, Logan hears the cries of a child. Rushing towards the sound, Logan finds Daken standing there with a small child holding a rifle. Daken tells Logan “Look daddy, I’ve made a friend.” Logan can tell from Daken’s voice that he’s lettin’ him know, as if he didn’t already, that they ain’t friends an’ they never will be. Far as he’s concerned, the only thing they have in common is a goal an’ he’s willin’ to do whatever it takes to achieve it, even if that means spendin’ time with the old man. Neither o’ them speaks the language but usin’ a mix o’ pidgin an’ hand signs, they find out what they need to know – somebody’s been there. After the kid tells them that it wasn’t D’Wali or Jono, Logan discovers that it was somebody like them.
Just then, Cyber arrives and says to the kid “Look, he’s made a friend.” As Daken rushes towards Cyber, Logan puts his hand on his shoulder and tells him to wait. Cyber remarks father and son, together at last, who would’ve thought, definitely not him. When the wind shifts, Logan sees the ace that Cyber has in his sleeve. All of his friends are the kids of the country carrying rifles. Ripping his shoulder away from Logan’s hand, Daken tells him “Don’t ever!” Cyber then tells Daken that he should take his father’s advice. He may care even less than he does about the lives of the kids but he knows for sure he cares a helluva lot about his own hide. If he comes at him, he’ll skin him alive.
Standing between Daken and Cyber, Logan asks Cyber how the ticker is. Cyber tells him they’ll talk about that some other time but right now he thinks they should talk about the business at hand. They’re all lookin’ for the same guy, for basically the same reason – they want him dead. He proposes that they work together. Shocked, Logan tells Cyber that he’s full of $#%@. He willingly worked for Romulus; he never used him like they used them. Cyber tells him that he’s right. But what he did was have him eaten alive by mutant deathwatch beetles. Logan replies that wasn’t him, that was…
Cyber cuts him off and tells him that it’s always him. Logan says alright and asks why. Cyber tells him because he did the one thing Romulus fears. He told someone (Nick Fury) that he existed and worse, he provided them with proof. When Logan asks who, Cyber says that it’s his turn to answer some questions. Logan replies that he has nothin’ to… Cyber says not him, him and points in Daken’s direction. Cyber then asks him where was the last time he saw him and when. Daken asks why he would tell him that. Cyber replies why would he not tell him? They’re all holding pieces of the same puzzle, all they need to do is lay them out on the table.
Before Daken can speak, Logan states no deal. If he wants to tell them about what he knows, fine by him. If he wants to keep it to himself, he doesn’t give a $!@#. They’re killin’ Romulus one way or the other. If he gets in their way… Cyber asks that they’ll kill him? Logan tells him that he’s already killed him. Enraged, Cyber tells Wolverine dumb move but that that’s nothin’ new for him, he never did know how to negotiate. Preparing for a fight, Logan informs him that he still don’t.
As he walks away, Cyber tells him that they’ll see about that. He’ll be around in case he changes his mind. With their tracking skills, they shouldn’t have a problem finding him. But with his tracking skills and with just a little information from the boy, they could all find Romulus.
That night as they sit around a campfire, Logan asks Daken if he wants a drink. When Daken refuses, Logan tells him to suit himself. Daken begins to talk about Cyber and Logan tells him that he can’t be trusted. Daken asks him and he can to which Logan replies that he can only hope. If they tell Cyber what they know, he’ll do one o’ two things. He’ll either sell them out to Romulus to curry favor or he’ll use that information to somehow take Romulus down an’ then take his place. Daken says with that being said, he does have information that they need. Logan agrees and says that he thinks he knows how to get it.
Logan informs Daken that that thing stuck to Cyber’s chest? He had it put there. It’s made outta carbonadium. It’s just like what he has but it’s molecularly unstable; it eats itself. But first, it eats whatever’s close by. Cyber knows he’s runnin’ outta time an’ he also knows that the only thing that can save him is a little piece o’ tech called a carbonadium synthesizer. There’s only one of ‘em in existence an’ he’s the only one that knows that it’s lyin’ in the mud below the Gerdesiabrug Bridge. Daken remarks that is quite a bargaining chip but unfortunately, they have no bargaining position. Logan informs him that he has a plan for that and he thinks he’s gonna like it. It involves him gettin’ shot a lot.
The next day, Logan is driving a jeep towards Cyber’s military compound. From a watchtower, Cyber wonders what Logan’s play is. Is he and his boy ready to make a deal or what? He figures there’s only one way to find out and tells his troops to get ready. If the jeep doesn’t slow down at the gate, they’re gonna hit it with everything they’ve got. When Cyber’s troops inform him that the jeep isn’t stopping, Cyber tells them to open fire. When they unload their rifles into the jeep, it eventually comes to a stop outside the gates much to the delight of Cyber’s troops. Cyber orders them not to celebrate just yet, and to reload and verify the bodies. If either of them so much as twitches, open fire.
Opening the jeep door, only Logan falls out. One of Cyber’s troops then informs him that only one of them are dead. From behind him, Daken holds his claw to Cyber’s head and tells him gotcha.
A little while later, Logan awakens from his bullet wounds. When he does, he asks Daken if they are in. Daken informs him that they are and shows him Cyber. Seeing Cyber chained up by his arms and neck, Logan tells Daken that he hopes it doesn’t bother him sayin’ this, but hell, he’s impressed. Approaching Cyber, Logan says to him that he has one question. If he answers it, he’ll tell him where to find the c-synth. Don’t answer and he’ll bury him in a hole so deep that the carbonadium stuck to him will eat him alive before he can dig his way out.
Cyber asks him, “And the question is?” Logan tells him first things first and clocks him across the face with a hard left cross. He informs him that’s for Janet. Cyber laughs and say that it was worth it just to see the look on his face. Logan calls him a sick son of a… Cyber tells him not then, now. Just then, Daken slashes him across the neck and tells him sorry “dad” but he thinks he likes Cyber’s plan better.

Family Business: Part II – Conclusion
Waking up after getting his throat slashed, Logan finds himself chained to a post with a bunch of guns being pointed at him. Logan notices that they are just kids and asks them why they are doing this, they should be out playin’ and havin’ fun. One of the kids tells him this is fun and that the big man said he, Logan, needs to stay there until he comes back.
Logan asks if the big man told him when he’s comin’ back. The kid replies no but he said if he tries to leave, if he tries anything, they blow him away. He also told them if they do a good job, he will make them all generals in his army. Logan tells them that he hates to break it to him, but he ain’t comin’ back. He used him for what he could get an’ now he’s done with them, with all of them, there ain’t nothin’ keepin’ them there. He then tells them to just go and leave and to get out while they can.
In his mind, Logan thinks to himself that they are ignoring him, which he guesses he expected but it’s disappointing just the same. You’d think that he, a fella who’s committed more violent acts than anybody, would have some kinda insight on how to steer a child away from violence, but he don’t. He can’t save these kids any more than he could save his own.
Eight hours ago, Daken and Cyber wait on an approaching plane. As it nears, Cyber tells Daken that it’s time to roll. When Daken asks Cyber where they’re going, Cyber tells him to tell him. He’s Romulus’ weapon of choice; he’s been around him more than anyone so where do they find him? Daken replies that he has no idea. Charles Xavier got into his head and in doing so, triggered some kind of psi-bomb. When it went off, it scrambled his memories. He remembers things but they’re disjointed, scrambled. He’s been trying to sort them out but it’s been difficult.
When he first saw Cyber, he remembered the facility and he remembered that he was there. Cyber says to him that’s it, that all he can remember, what @#$%in’ good is he to him then? Cracking a smile, Daken asks him if they’re gonna fight now. He then tells Cyber that the memories are there, he can feel them. All he needs is something to bring them into focus. So be it ever so puerile – ‘show me yours and I’ll show you mine.’
Boarding the plane Cyber tells him that after the facility, he was taken to a lab where he had some work done. Romulus was there. He asks Daken that he doesn’t remember any of that. Daken asks him why should he. Cyber replies because he was there too. He was in an’ out of it for awhile thanks to the bullets he put in his back but he remembers getting tossed into a rail car. He, Daken, was there and so was Romulus though he could barely see him. And there was someone else there too. Daken remarks Victor.
Once they land at Glasgow International Airport, Cyber hears a buzz and asks Daken what the hell that is. Daken informs him that it’s Wolverine’s X-Men communicator. Cyber asks him why he would have that; is he plannin’ on sellin’ him out? When Daken tells him “not currently,” Cyber tells him to smash it. Daken remarks and bring the X-Men down on their heads, no thank you. If this thing goes off-line a distress signal is logged, along with the last recorded location of the device. As long as it’s in one piece and receiving, the X-Men will assume that Wolverine is…
Cyber cuts him off and asks what if he doesn’t answer it. Daken tells him that from what he’s gathered, he thinks they’d be more surprised if he did answer it. He isn’t exactly the communicative type. He took it from him because he doesn’t want him to be able to call in his teammates to help him once he gets clear of his predicament. Because let’s face it, Wolverine can only preach so long before he gets tired of sitting on his hands. With that, the two of them board another plane.
Back in Africa, Logan stands up next to the pole he is chained to. As he does, one of the kids yells at him to sit down or… Logan asks or what? The kid tells him that they’ll shoot. Logan replies yeah, so what. The kid then yells at him to shut his mouth and s-sit. Logan asks him what’s wrong, is he s-scared or something? The kid informs him that he’s not scared of anything. Logan points out that he and his friends already shot him once, filled him full o’ bullets but there he is, alive an’ well, good as new. Bullets don’t work on him. Scared, one of the kids whispers that he is a demon. The leader says no, he is just a man, he is nothing to be afraid of. Popping his claws and breaking his chains, Logan tells him that he’s everything he should be afraid of.
Just then, the kids all open fire and fill Logan with bullets. Once they do, Logan falls to the ground. One of the kids asks what they should do now. Another kid states that they should leave before he comes back. When asked if he is referring to the big man, the kid says “uhh yeah.”
Near a shed in Saskatchewan, Canada, Cyber tells Daken that, unlike his father, he doesn’t have a healing factor so his adamantium had to go on the outside. The nearby shed is where it happened. Daken remarks that he remembers this place; he remembers the smell of burning metal and of burning flesh. Cyber states yeah, his flesh. As far as he knows, that was the first time anyone had attempted bonding adamantium to a human. The process was primitive and brutal. He wished Phineas Mason had been around then, it would’ve made it a whole lot…
When Daken asks, “Who?”, Cyber tells him Phineas Mason goes by the name Tinkerer. He’s the one who outfitted him the second time around. When Cyber turns around in a panic, Daken asks him if something is wrong. Cyber says that he doesn’t know but he suddenly got the feeling that someone was… Daken tells him to relax, no one is coming for him.
Dressed in civilian clothes, Logan drives a jeep to a nearby outpost and calls Henry McCoy, Beast, at Xavier’s Institute for Higher Learning and asks him to tell him where he is.
In Canada, Daken notices the communicator he has is beginning to transmit coordinates. After he puts it in his pocket, Cyber asks Daken if any of this is jogging his memory. When Daken tells him no, Cyber slams him up against one of the wooden beams and states that he’s lying. Daken replies that he’s paranoid. Cyber says maybe but that doesn’t mean someone isn’t out to get him.
Aboard a plane, a young man by the name of Aref asks his father in his dialect of Farsi why they are being so accommodating to the American. The old man tells him that, suffice to say, he’s repaying an old debt. Aref apologizes but could they not “repay” him by say, cutting his throat and disposing of the body over the ocean? His father says he doesn’t know, why doesn’t he ask him? Speaking in Farsi, Logan tells Ebi that he prefers his way and then tells Aref that he’s Canadian, not American. Realizing that their passenger understands Farsi, the son remarks that would explain why he needs to go to Canada then.
In the shed, Daken tells Cyber that he was quite a disappointment to Romulus, does he know that? Years later when he betrayed him, obviously, but even from the beginning he was less than what he’d hoped for. Cyber states that so he does remember. Daken tells him that when he was finished, the Watchmaker asked Romulus if he could go. Romulus told him in time but first, he wants to see what has become of their patient. The Watchmaker told him that he thinks the Ironworkers who did the majority of the work would be more capable of…
Romulus informs him that the Ironworkers are gone – dead. Romulus then tells him that he wants to see the claws. Looking at his hand, Cyber remarks that he always wondered why he had them. Daken informs him that they’re a symbol. When Cyber asks a symbol of what, Daken tells him that the meaning would be lost upon him. He’s a prototype, a prototype for a weapon that is no longer viable. As the world changes, so must the weapons that they will use to destroy it.
Cyber asks “we”, what is he talking about, who is he talking about? Daken says “him.” He said it himself, it’s always him. Enraged, Cyber tells Daken to tell him where Romulus is. Daken simply states that he’s right in front of him. Cyber asks him, he thinks he’s gonna be the one to take the throne? Daken tells him to be careful of what he says next, they may just be his last words. With that, Cyber grabs his chest and falls to the ground.
Pulling out a pill bottle, Daken asks him if he’s looking for them. He adds that he’s made many comparisons between himself and his father but what he should’ve noted are the differences. Unlike him, he can manipulate the feelings of others. He can lull them into a false state of calm, he can elevate their feelings of joy, or he can feed their sense of panic and paranoia. Crushing the pill bottle underneath his boot, he tells Cyber those who are weak, break.
As he dies, Cyber says that he set him up, to which Daken tells him not just him. Daken then informs Cyber that Wolverine came up with a plan. If he, Daken, betrayed him, Cyber won’t question it. After that, it should be ease for him to gain his confidence. He then gave him his communicator, it’ll let him keep track o’ his location. Once he, Cyber, has told him everything he knows, they’ll put him down. Standing over a dying Cyber, Daken tells him that Wolverine’s plan was good, but he now has a better one. He doesn’t remember everything but he remembers enough. He remembers what he is and what he’s destined to become. This world is his for taking and he does not plan to share it.
Once he reaches Saskatchewan, Logan finds Cyber dead, his communicator lying on his chest, and Daken gone. In a bar, Logan is drinking bourbon whiskey. He figures, sometimes, the only cure is to get drunk. It doesn’t last but nothin’ ever does. He doesn’t know what Daken’s plannin’ on doin’, or where or how he’s gonna find him again but there’s an old sayin’ that he’s found is more true than most. Bad pennies always turn up. Just then, Nicholas Fury sits down next to him at the bar and says ‘let’s talk about that kid of yours.’

Weapon XI – Part I
In a bar up in Canada, Nick Fury asks Logan if he knows where his son, Daken, is. When Logan tells him no, Fury informs him that he knows at least where he was 7 hours ago. He was in New York, wearin’ Logan’s costume, playin’ Wolverine for Norman Osborn. Taking a sip of his drink, Logan states that he guesses that means he can finally take that vacation. Fury says no skin off his nose if he does but before he packs his sandals, he’d like him to tell him all about him. ‘Cause that kinda information might come in handy in the future.
Peering at Fury, Logan asks him what makes him think he’d tell him anything about his son. Fury tells him that, if he does, he’ll tell him what he knows about the Weapon X program. Continuing his drink, Logan says he already knows about Weapon X, he was there. He was it, an’ if there’s anything about it he don’t know then it’s probably somethin’ he don’t wanna know. He then tells Fury to try again. Fury says okay and asks how about he tells him what he knows about Romulus?
Logan proceeds to ask Fury if it was he that Cyber talked to. Fury tells him yeah, it was. At first, he thought Cyber was trying to run a game on him, but the thing is a lot of what he told him actually panned out. They always wondered who the hell commissioned the Weapon X project because, contrary to what’s in the official dossier, it sure as hell wasn’t them. And the Canadian government didn’t even know about it until they accused them of developing bio-weapons behind their backs.
Logan remarks that he worked for the Canadian military, he remembers. Fury tells him of course he did. An’ he worked for them too, that was the deal they made. They wouldn’t blow the whistle on them to the international community as long as they got to use him and the rest of Team X too. Nobody knew exactly why he was made but everybody knew what he was made for – killing. At least, they thought they did. But they weren’t thinking big enough.
Fury then asks Logan if the name “Hudson” means anything to him. After hearing that name, Logan thinks back that after Sabretooth killed Silver Fox an’ after he did what he did… the massacre at Mount Logan… he ended up doin’ work for the Hudson Bay Company, “protectin’” the company’s interests from the locals. Soon after that, he ended up at the trainin’ facility that Cyber was workin’ for. He told him in Amsterdam that a guy named Hudson was the one runnin’ the place. Then there was James Hudson – “Mac.” He and his wife found him out in the woods, right after he’d escaped from Weapon X. An’ it was Mac who brought him into Alpha Flight. One o’ his first missions for Alpha Flight was to take down the Hulk, which led him to Professor Charles Xavier. At every wrong turn in his life, in every dark corner, there’s somebody named Hudson.
“What does it all…?” Interrupting, Fury informs Logan that Cyber told him about a training facility in Western Canada, he said he worked there as a trainer. Said that’s where he first met him, Logan. And he said that the man in charge was named Hudson. Logan agrees and says that’s the same thing he told him. Fury then asks Logan if he knows anything else about this “Hudson” guy. When Logan tells him no, Fury replies that he does.
His name was Frederick Hudson. His brother was Elias Hudson, owner of the Hudson Bay Company, who he worked for. Frederick and Elias Hudson were the last of their family line after their parents died aboard a passenger ship that sank off the coast of Vancouver Island. Their sister had died around the turn of the century. Her name was Elizabeth Hudson, she was his, Logan’s, mother.
Logan asks Fury what else he knows about his mother. Fury replies that’s it, just her name. And it took years for him to find out that much. But what he does now is that tragedy seems to follow the Hudson family like a shadow. And he believes that shadow has a name. Logan grits his teeth and says “Romulus.” Fury continues to tell Logan that Elias Hudson committed suicide in his office shortly after he left the company. There were no witnesses. Frederick died when the training facility he was overseeing burned to the ground for unknown reasons (Daken).
That would’ve been the end of the Hudsons, since neither of the brothers had any children, or at least none by their wives. Turns out, Frederick had fathered an illegitimate son by his secretary, a young lady named Caitlyn MacDonald. She named her boy after Frederick as well as giving the child his father’s last name, completely in spite and anger for what Frederick had done to her. Caitlyn MacDonald was found hanging outside the hospital window by her bed sheets two days after giving birth.
Frederick Hudson II was raised in an orphanage. Ultimately, he would die from a stab wound received in a bar fight around the age of 30. But, before his untimely end, he did his best to make sure the Hudson family survived. He fathered three sons by three different women.
The first was Truett Hudson who grew up to the Professor. He believes he met him, back when Logan’s bones were fused with adamantium at the hands of Weapon X. The second was Victor Hudson, born blind and mute. Victor was raised in solitude by his mother Bernice. One day, Bernice walked into her local church proclaiming that she had given birth to the devil’s child and that, the previous night, the devil had not only revealed himself to her, but had taken child back into his bosom. Then she blew her brains out all over the congregation. No one ever saw Victor Hudson again.
Last in line was Logan’s pal, James Hudson, head of Department H. Logan informs Fury that he knows who James is. Fury tells him was, he means. He’s dead. This brings him to his point. He believes the Hudsons have been the pawns of Romulus for over a century. He uses them like puppets so that he doesn’t have to expose himself. But as soon as one of them serves his or her purpose, they’re taken off the board. He, Logan, is a Hudson. So is his son and they’re both still alive. Which he thinks means…
Logan finishes his thought that Romulus still has plans for them. Fury states that he believes that plan is Weapon X. Logan remarks that Weapon X is a thing of the past. Anything that came afterward. Deadpool, Wild Child, Sabretooth… Fury cuts him off and says ‘was an unsuccessful attempt to create the next-generation Wolverine.’ And the reason is simple, Weapon X didn’t create him, Romulus did.
Closing his eyes, Logan asks that Weapon X was just an attempt to control him? Fury informs him that may have been a secondary goal but he thinks the primary goal of the Weapon X project was to upgrade him, to bring him up to speed to outfit him for the age of super-powers. A weapon made of flesh and bone wasn’t enough anymore. He had to be made stronger, unbreakable. He was born to kill; Weapon X made him capable of killing super-heroes.
Logan asks Fury if he thinks that’s what Romulus wants. Fury replies that he didn’t get it; at least not from him. When Charles Xavier brought him into the X-Men, he came under his psychic protection. Romulus couldn’t get into his head anymore. That may have slowed him down, but it didn’t stop him. He doesn’t think anything short of death would. For more than a century, Romulus has been systematically refining and revising his perfect killing machine – him, Logan. When he became untouchable, he thinks he simply switched tracks. Daken is the next-generation Wolverine by birth, but that’s not enough for Romulus. He thinks he intends to make him the next-generation Weapon X as well.
Fury tells Logan that he was a weapon created to kill super heroes. Logically, the next step is to create a weapon that can kill him, but that’s not possible, or is it? A while back, he came across a recording or a teleconference between the president of the United States and Kenuichio Harada, the Silver Samurai. He’s telling the President about a sword. Logan asks Fury that he knows about the sword? Fury says “the Muramasa blade, yes.” Logan then asks what that has to do with Daken or Weapon X. Fury tells him that he thinks together, they are Weapon X, the next generation of Weapon X. And he thinks Romulus is trying to make sure they come together. When Logan asks what, Fury tells him that his claws, basic as they are, are incredible tactical weapons, he can’t be disarmed. When they were encased in adamantium, they became even better. They made him capable of taking down the hard targets. He adds that Logan’s son has claws too. If they were to become encased in the metal the blade is made of, Daken would be able to take down the hardest of targets – him. Logan remarks that he wouldn’t know how. Fury tells him that the Tinkerer would and he’s been spotted in New York yesterday. Fury tells Logan that he’s going after the sword and proceeds to ask him where it is.
At the X-Men’s headquarters, Scott Summers, the X-Man known as Cyclops gathers the Muramasa blade while his lover, Emma Frost, asks what he is doing. Looking at a monitor, Emma informs Scott that that’s not Wolverine on Osborn’s team. Scott tells her no, it’s someone worse: his son. Emma replies then let Wolverine deal with him. Scott informs her that’s not his style, not anymore. They may know that isn’t the real Wolverine but no one else does. To the public at large, he’s one of them, an X-Man. Everything he does reflects upon them. Emma says but they don’t know what he’s going to do, they can’t assume… Scott tells her that she’s been in Daken’s head, what does she think he’s going to do? Bowing her head, Emma replies that if he kills his son, Wolverine will kill him. Nothing will stop him. Raising the blade, Scott says this will.
Outside the bar in Canada, Logan tells Fury that he needs to get to San Francisco now. Fury replies that he’ll drive and leads him out to an alley. When Logan sees Fury’s broken down vehicle, he asks him is that the best he can do? Fury tells him yup and pushes a button on a remote control. Immediately, the broken down vehicle transforms into a flying craft. Fury informs Logan that it’s a prototype. The bean counters at S.H.I.E.L.D. deemed it too expensive for production, so they warehoused it. He stole it. Logan tells him that after what the way they’ve treated him, he doesn’t blame him one bit. Entering the craft, Fury tells him that he stole it seven years ago.
Once in the air, Logan calls Hank McCoy and asks him to patch him through to Scott. When Hank tells him that he can’t, Logan asks him what he means. Hank informs him that Scott is radio silent until he lands, he doesn’t want anyone triangulating his position. Logan asks that he’s deployed, where’s he goin’? Just then, Emma enters Logan’s head and tells him that Scott has taken a team to New York to confront his son. He said he’s only going to warn him, but he has the Muramasa blade with him.
Upon hearing that, Logan curses and tells Fury to fly to New York. He then tells Emma that she has to get a message to Scott to stay the hell away from Daken. Emma replies that she knows he wants to protect his son, but… Logan cuts her off and tells her that it’s a trap, he’s flushing him out. Daken wants the blade out in the open so he can take it.
At that moment, in New York, the Blackbird lands and Colossus, Cannonball, Armor and Nightcrawler exit. Leading them is Cyclops, toting the Muramasa blade.
