The end of Logan's story, the beginning of the way of the young wolf. Restore the original comics and tell the final story from a different perspective from the movie.
Judging from the announcement materials and the promotional videos released by the film crew, the story of Wolverine 3 is basically based on three original comics: "Death of wolverine" and "Wolverine:" old man logan), "Lost Innocence" (X-23: innocence lost). If you use one sentence to describe these three comics, then Wolverine’s death is the hero’s salvation and sacrifice, the twilight wolf’s hometown search is the self-salvation and reconciliation of the old man’s heart, and the lost innocence is the girl’s breaking away from the outside world and her inner self-transformation. . Next, I want to tell the story of the last days of the old Wolverine and the birth of the girl X-23 based on these three comics.
I also want to make it clear that after the story of Wolverine’s death, the character of Wolverine has completely died in the main Marvel universe, and the story of Twilight Wolf’s search for a homeland takes place in a parallel universe in the Marvel universe. . X-23 is not so much a clone of Wolverine, it is more accurate to call her the twin sister of Wolverine.
Death of Wolverine
The Baxter Building in New York City, the home of the Fantastic Four, has a depressing atmosphere. After examination, Logan’s self-healing factor in his body was inhibited by the virus, he could no longer heal himself as quickly as before, and because his bones were exposed to radiation all the year round, he already had radioactivity in his body, and he brought it back into the body every time he retracted his paw. Of the bacteria, Logan is already an "ordinary person" with wounds and suffering from leukemia and endocarditis. Mr. Fantastic advises him: Stop fighting! Don't extend the steel claws anymore!
Canada, British Columbia. Logan seemed to have just gone through a fierce battle. He walked into the tavern, asked for a bottle of wine, poured it on the cloth, and wrapped his hands in the cloth. Logan dialed the phone, and an excited voice came from the receiver: "Captain America's shield was stolen. It was made by Adamantium. This reminds me of you!" Hanging up, Logan asked the bartender for a glass and asked him to do himself a favor, then left.
Then a brawny bald man found it. It was Nuke. He threatened the bartender to inquire about Logan's whereabouts. The bartender gave the note left by Logan before he left to Nuke. It was a map with the words "Come here." Come on, you cowards!" When they arrived at the designated location, Nuuk and his party were ambushed by Logan. Nuuk fled to the shore of the island, looking all over the corpses of the enemies killed by Logan. The two fought, and Logan defeated Nuuk without claws. The defeated Nuuk explained the whole story. It turned out that someone released a contract on the road to provide a very high remuneration for those who capture Logan alive. The longer the time the remuneration decreases. This contract seems to have contributed to a hunt for Logan. The contest, and the contract assigner is the queen, Viper, who runs the entire poison city in Madripoor.
Logan came to a bar in Madrid Poe and traded with one of Viper's subordinates, hoping to take this opportunity to see Mrs. Viper. In exchange for the helmet of Iron Man's Mark IX armor, this subordinate was surprised. Logan was introduced to Viper. When the Viper saw Logan, he immediately ordered the guards to take them down, and Logan easily defeated these people. Viper didn't seem to be in a hurry. She told Logan the reason for the contract: a mysterious customer found Viper, paid her an absurdly high price, and asked her to find Wolverine for it. When Logan further asked who the man was and why he wanted to capture him alive, Viper sent his servant, Sabretooth. At this time, the saber-toothed tiger had been poisoned by the viper, and he needed to obey orders every day in exchange for the antidote to maintain his life. The two mutants fought fiercely. Logan was thrown to the ground, his eyes were scratched and bleeding from the saber-toothed tiger. Logan, who has never made steel claws, was about to be smashed in by the saber-toothed claws. An unexpected figure appeared-Deathstrike. She rescued Logan, released the saber-toothed tiger, and the Viper also took the road. And escape.
The dead woman told Logan that he was not the only person on the list of the hunting contract, but included all the people with Edman alloy in their bodies. She escaped from another killer, Ogun. Knowing the news, she came to Logan and hoped that they would work together to find out the truth and defeat the enemy. But when the dead woman found that Logan had lost her self-healing ability and was of no use to her, she changed her mind—killing Wolverine in exchange for her own life. Just as the two opened up to prepare for a battle, a hand passed through the chest of the dead woman from behind, which was the Shadowcat. The Phantom Cat repelled the dead woman, and Logan fell to the ground after being injured. The Phantom Cat injected Logan with a self-healing serum to help Logan recover. It turned out that in the pub in British Columbia, the person who was talking to Logan was the Phantom Cat. The two decided to go to Japan together to find Ogun and find out the master behind the scenes.
The two who had just arrived in Tokyo were sitting by the lake in the park, discussing the details and speculations of the incident. The rare relaxation in the country of cherry blossoms. Gradually, Logan's words showed exhaustion, reflecting his loss of the status quo of the failure of the self-healing factor. , He guessed how battle after battle would torture his body, he imagined that when he was seriously injured, his friends would not be able to appear again in time, Beast, Mister Fantastic, Tony (Iron Man) ...Logan knows that he loses the ability to heal himself, and one day he will grow old and slow down. When that day comes, maybe he will find a place facing the sunset, rest his chin in his fist, watch the sunset quietly, and then " Shit"...The Phantom Cat interrupted Logan's mumbling, and suddenly hugged Logan and gave him a hot kiss.
Logan hurriedly pushed her away. The Phantom Cat stopped disguising and revealed his true identity. It turned out that Ogon was attached to the Phantom Cat. The two were in a chaotic fight, and they were on par. Logan, who was not out of steel claws, fell into the family. At the weapon shop, he picked up the samurai swords and armor scattered on the ground, fighting like a samurai back then, the possessed Phantom Cat was also using his willpower against Ogun, and the two together defeated Ogun. The Phantom Cat told Logan that when he was possessed, he heard a name in his mind, Abraham Cornelius-the person who first injected Logan with Edman alloy. Logan chased all the way to Ogun, forcing him to tell the truth: Cornelius was collecting Edman alloy in a place called Paradise Valley in the Nevada desert, and he also needed a living Logan.
So Logan came to the place of the final battle-the research base of Cornelius in Paradise Valley. Logan fixed three rebars that had been polished into sharp claws on the backs of his hands and hands. As always, he lifted the "claws" down, stepped on the bloody road, and went straight to the research base. When he finally entered Cornelius’ laboratory, Logan was taken aback. There were several human subjects lying in the center. A huge steel needle was preparing to inject Edman alloy into the subject. The same tragic experience was in Logan’s mind back then. Emerges in. Cornelius, standing behind the glass wall, expressed his conspiracy: He has been continuing his experiments for many years. He believes that the Wolverine he has created has too many human emotions and too much self-awareness. Imperfect, after continuous training and upgrading, he wants to make not only super soldiers, but also perfect killing machines with no humanity. The purpose of capturing Logan alive is to extract self-healing factors so that the experimental body can withstand Edman alloy. This is the most critical and final step.
Logan smiled and told Cornelius that the self-healing factor of his inner body was no longer valid, and the frustrated Cornelius sent Sharp, a killing machine trained by him. Obviously, after losing the self-healing factor, Logan was completely at a disadvantage when playing against Sharp. At the same time, Cornelius jumped over the wall anxiously and began to inject Edman alloy into the subject. Just when Sharp was about to make the final blow to Logan, Logan tricked the opponent into a mechanical punch and solved Sharp behind him. Cornelius was stabbed in the abdomen by glass, and the blood flow continued and he ran away.
At the beginning of the Edman alloy injection procedure, the people on the operating table will be sacrificed as experimental objects. At the moment of the moment, the Logan steel claw broke out, and Wolverine used the steel claw to scratch the machine storing the Edman alloy. The boiling metal liquid was spilled on Logan's body. Logan resisted the hotness of his body and injected the last few self-healing serums into the body of the subject.
Logan's body was covered with solidifying Edman alloy. Step by step, he dragged his body to the roof balcony. He walked past Cornelius, who had fallen to the ground and died. Facing the setting sun, the beautiful memories of the past appeared in front of him: The two world wars, the wedding with Ah Yi, the kiss with the Phoenix, lectures at X Academy... "Enough, just die peacefully like this", Logan no longer has to support his body, kneeling in the setting sun Next, look into the distance. Wolverine turned into a statue of Edman alloy.
Wolverine: Old Man Logan
Fifty years ago, the super villains defeated all the superheroes on the planet. Since then, no one knows where Wolverine has gone, and no one knows what happened to Wolverine that night.
Fifty years later, an old man with gray hair but firm face was riding a horse in the wasteland-like western wilderness. It was Logan. At this time, Logan no longer recalls the past of the superhero, and no longer allows others to mention Wolverine. He is just Logan, a farmer who is bullied and lives in poverty. The people of the Hulk gang came to Logan's house to collect rent, and Logan had no money and had to endure the fat beating and humiliation of Hulk descendants, and it was just a fantasy to stretch out steel claws and knock them to the ground as they did in the past.
In the evening, Hawkeye, who had long been blind, came to his old friend Logan and invited him to escort a batch of goods with him. The commission was enough for Logan to pay the rent for next month. Logan repeatedly emphasized that he had bid farewell to Wolverine and his identity was no longer bright. After the claw battle, he went on the road with his family and Hawkeye. What’s interesting is that Hawkeye can drive freely even if it’s blind, driving a spider car built by Human Torch. The two former superheroes need to cross the United States and pass through the Hulk Territory, the Golden Union Dynasty, and the Du Mu’s Nest, the President’s area, to New Babylon on the east coast.
There was no word all the way, and the two were driving on the deserted land. Logan was testing what goods Hawkeye was escorting, and Hawkeye seemed to be testing what happened to Logan that night. The two old men came to San Francisco and found that a creature called Morodis was invading the entire city. They swallowed the land in the dark and caused the city to sink. When the two got out of the car to check, the Ghost Riders attacked them. Hawkeye let Logan watch the cargo and moved away from the battle scene. The Ghost Riders violently attacked Logan, but Logan refused to fight back. Enduring their repeated attacks, an arrow pierced one of them's heads. It was an eagle eye standing on a high place. Even if he was blind, he would pierce Yang with hundreds of steps as before. Repelling the enemy, Hawkeye was very angry at Logan's act of beating and not fighting back, but Logan was calm. He recalled what happened that night and insisted on his belief that he would never shoot.
The two came to the Hammer City ruled by Kingpin-the place of Thor's death. The people here live with a glimmer of hope for the return of heroes. People kneel down in front of Thor's Hammer and worship, and eagle eyes mention the heroes from time to time. When they were defeated, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man. They came to the home of one of Hawkeye’s ex-wife, Spider-Man’s youngest daughter. Hawkeye and his ex-wife’s daughter inherited the mantle of their grandfather Spider-Man, imitating a superhero to assassinate the ruler here, but they were caught and imprisoned. .
Hawkeye took Logan to Utah to rescue his daughter. Although he believed that his daughter's behavior was too yuang, too simple, and sometimes naive, he was still very proud of his daughter's reinstatement of superheroes. In the Colosseum, Jin fed Daredevi and Punisher, who were acting with the Hawkeye's daughter, to the dinosaurs, and kept the Hawkeye's daughter in prison. The two drove into the prison in a spider car. Hawkeye fought each other and released his daughter. The daughter also took the opportunity to behead Jin and beheaded. What Hawkeye did not expect was that the daughter swung a weapon at herself. It turned out that she did not assassinate Jin. To replace him as a dictator. When Hawkeye's daughter was about to kill her father, Logan drove there and rescued Hawkeye.
They continued on their way, but they didn't know that Venom was following all the way. Passing by the bones of Loki who was killed by the collapse of the Baxter Mansion, Hawkeye also mentioned the story of the Fantastic Four that night. Logan recalled that terrible night again. In a tavern, Logan told Hawkeye recounted the night that changed him completely.
On that night fifty years ago, the super villains attacked all the superheroes on the planet at the same time. The strategy they adopted was not to confront the old enemies in the past, but to use their own advantages to fight against the weakness of the heroes. The attack on Wolverine was Spider-Man's old enemy Mysterio (Mysterio), Wolverine was caught by the mystery's illusion, treating all the mutants around him as enemies to invade x Academy, killing all his teammates who had fought side by side with him. , Including Storm, Gambit, Colossus, Cyclops, etc., as well as his beloved Jean Grey. Wolverine nearly collapsed, wandering in the wilderness, and finally fell on the track and severed his head. Logan still healed by itself, but Wolverine was dead. From then on, Steel Claw never popped out, and Logan never fought again.
The two arrived at Doom'Lair. Venom was attached to a Tyrannosaurus to chase them. When the two were almost helpless, the elderly Black Bolt appeared He used sound waves to drive away the venom, and sent the two to Emma Grace Frost's territory. Emma told them that no mutant was born for more than 40 years, and there are only more than 20 mutants left. This world no longer belongs to mutants, and the so-called mutant era is coming from the future. When sending off the two, Emma saw their true thoughts through psychological induction. Hawkeye still yearns for the revival of the superhero, but Logan is already calm, and Twilight Wolf returns to his hometown.
The two passed Pym Cross, the huge remains of Hank Pym, and arrived at the final destination, New Babylon, the capital city. This is a completely different scene from the wilderness. Red Skull is everywhere, because on the night of defeating the superhero, Red Skull became the president of the United States. Hawkeye and Logan saw the trade partner in a dilapidated small bar, and Logan also saw the true face of the goods for the first time-ninety-nine super soldier serums. The purpose is to build an insurgent army and establish a new avenger. , Hawkeye also hopes that he will become a member, continue his superhero career and fight against the Red Skull. Suddenly, Hawkeye and Logan were shot and fell to the ground. The original transaction was the Agents of SHIELD of the Red Skull Government. They helped Red Skull eradicate the rebels, set traps to attract Hawkeye to the bait, and took Hawkeye’s corpse. Bring it back to the Red Skull.
The Red Skull stood in the White House in the uniform of Captain America, admiring the trophies of his superheroes, and recalled the scene when he killed Captain America fifty years ago. The corpses of Hawkeye and Logan were brought in, and the Red Skull was complacent, but when dealing with the corpse of Hawkeye, Logan got up and knocked down everyone. The Red Skull was both surprised and excited, a final duel between the old Logan and the Red Skull.
Logan, who swears not to show his claws, was slammed by the Red Skull and punched Logan's body with a heavy fist. The wound did not heal as quickly as before. With a heavy blow, Logan fell into the Red Skull's spoils. Logan picked up the captain's shield against the Red Skull. He brandished the shield and hit the Red Skull back, knocking it to the ground. The peaks turned red, and the shield instantly smashed into the red skull's neck. Old Logan killed the captain's enemy in the way of the captain. The guards came, and Logan put on Iron Man's armor, like the Iron Man of the year, slaughtered the Quartet and destroyed the headquarters of the Red Skull. At the end of the battle, Logan mentioned the reward that should have belonged to him, and returned to his hometown in the armor. But who knew it was too late, the Hulk gang slaughtered his family. Logan was furious, and his long suppressed emotions were released instantly. He regained his identity as Wolverine, revealing the steel claws he had hidden for a long time.
The final battle was simple, as simple and rude as always. Wolverine killed all Hulk's offspring, and went straight to Hulk's lair. Bruce Banner turned into the Hulk, eager to have a hearty battle with Wolverine, just like the battle when the two met for the first time. The Hulk swallowed Wolverine into his belly, thinking that he had won, but Logan, who had healed completely, broke out of Hulk and killed Hulk.
A month later, Logan buried his family. He chose to return to the arena and re-assemble the long-lost superheroes to avenge the super villain who defeated them fifty years ago. When the sun sets, one man and one horse, heartbroken people are in the end of the world; the road ahead is long, and the wolf is looking for hometown, where is my hometown?
"The Lost Innocence" X-23: Innocence Lost
On that day, the day the X weapon plan was executed, and also the day Wolverine got the steel claws to escape from the facility, Logan slaughtered almost everyone who experimented on him. Dr. Dior Rice, who was planted in the government by the mysterious organization, also died under Logan's claws. The doctor's employer and friend Madden Sart collected his documents and picked up his son at the doctor's house, fulfilled his promise, and cultivated the doctor's son.
Many years later, Zanderris inherited his father’s business and became a genetic geneticist. Under the guidance of Sartre, he continued the x weapon project with test samples stolen by his father. However, as the test subjects continued to die On the operating table, projects continue to fail. Finally, one day, Sartre invited Sarah Ginny, a well-known doctor of genetics, to lead the project. Sarah provided a new idea to use genetically cloned embryo samples for research to speed up the process of the project. Responsible for assisting work. In private, Sartre warned Sarah of the secrecy measures of the project, and also reminded her to get along with Jendall. Without Jendall’s father, Old Reese, there would be no such project, and Jendall himself is also an extremely crazy scientist.
Because the chromosomes of the mutant gene provided by Sarah were partially damaged, it became very difficult to recreate the x weapon. After 22 attempts to repair the gene to no avail, Sarah decided to remove the severely damaged y gene and double the x gene. The clone is shaped as a female. Due to Zander's strong opposition, Sarah finally compromised and agreed to be the surrogate mother to breed the clone, and gave birth to the female clone of Wolverine, X-23, ten months later.
X-23 gradually grew up in an inhuman environment. She was trained as a weapon rather than a human being. Zander hopes to erase X-23's humanity through cruel training and turn it into a killing machine that obeys orders. But the growth rate of X-23 did not satisfy Jendall, especially the degree of genetic mutation. Sarah tried her best to protect X-23 out of her natural motherhood, and was gradually excluded from the research team by Sartre and Zander.
In fact, no one knows that Jendall has his dark thoughts in his heart. His biological father was killed by Wolverine. He imposed this hatred on Wolverine’s clone X-23, hoping to be satisfied with X-23’s death. Own revenge. Therefore, in the experiment of using radiation to promote the mutation of X-23 gene, he increased the dose of radiation, hoping to kill X-23 by radiation while the self-healing factor in X-23 was still dormant. But he did not expect that the radiation had a positive effect, stimulating the X-factor in X-23's body to produce physical mutations. Two bone claws grew on the backs of both hands, and one bone claw grew on the backs of both feet. Also for revenge, during the operation of plating the X-23 bone paw with Edman alloy, Zander refused to give X-23 anesthesia. At the same time, under the action of Edman alloy, the activity of the self-healing factor 23 in the body was obtained. A great improvement.
Zander and Sartre, who were eager for quick success, used violent gas on X-23. X-23's temperament changed drastically and killed his samurai master, and 23 became a dumb professional killer. Since then, X-23 has successfully completed every task of her own, and has obtained extremely rich benefits for the organization. She is not only a tool for murder, but also a tool for the organization to make money.
Sarah is completely marginalized by the organization, and she can no longer communicate with X-23, which has become a tool. And Zander's revenge psychology is getting more and more abnormal. He is determined to kill X-23 during a raid on the AIM base. During X-23's mission, Zander temporarily changed his plan, leaving X-23 alone on the scene surrounded by enemies, and flew away by himself. Returning to the organization, Zander lied that the X-23 mission failed and was ambushed to death. Unexpectedly, X-23 broke out of the siege and fled back.
Sarah was very worried about X-23 because the girl she gave birth to became extremely cold and cruel. It happened that Sarah received a call and learned that her niece was missing. Sarah took this opportunity to secretly release X-23 from the organization. Help yourself find your niece. At this time she found that she was actually using X-23's abilities, no different from Zander and the others, for which she was both guilty and contradictory. X-23 found the kidnapped niece very easily, and Sartre and Zander also discovered the fact that Sarah secretly released 23, and decided to kick Sarah out of the organization.
In order to take over power within the organization, the cruel Zander gave X-23 the task of assassination. The goal was to treat Maddensart and his wife and children as he did. X-23 successfully killed the Sartres. In the face of their young children, X-23 was merciful for the only time, and she let the child go. The death of the Sartre family was spread, and X-23 gave Sarah the photo of the target when Jender assigned him the task at the time. Sarah immediately understood the whole story and decided to return the body in his own way.
Sarah ran to confront Zander, and Zander also unabashedly showed Sarah his ambition. He is still cultivating clones in the breeding room and cultivating more mutant killers. Before being driven away by Jendall, Sarah left many letters and photos for X-23, as well as the last task for 23-to kill Jendreis. X-23 fought all the way to Jendall, exposing his steel claws, killing the man behind the tragedy of his life with one claw, and escaped at the last minute. Sarah, who was waiting outside, blew up the entire research institute. It seems that Sarah will start a new life with X-23, but what was unexpected is that X-23 stretched out steel claws to attack Sarah, and she fell in a pool of blood. It turned out that at the moment Sarah was driven away, Jendall secretly used violent gas on Sarah. When X-23 saw that Sarah was disturbed by violent gas, a tragedy happened.
X-23 threw herself down on her mother who had been killed. At this moment, the girl seemed to recall her long-lost humanity.
