Description
A solitary mutant warrior, Logan was initially reluctant to join the X-Men, but when he met the team’s telepath, Jean Grey, his instant connection with the beautiful red-haired mutant made him reconsider his decision, and over time, they began a romantic relationship. Using the codename Weapon X, he trained the new recruits of the group at Magneto’s request. In a mission, Jean was captured, and he begged X-Men’s help to rescue her, but Magneto refused. Leaving the team, Weapon X goes on his own, infiltrating the laboratories of Apocalypse’s minion called Sinister. He was then able to free Jean, but for that, he had to face Scott Summers (Cyclops), a disciple of Sinister, in a fierce confrontation where Weapon X ripped one of Scott Summers’ eyes and where he disintegrated Logan’s hand with an optic blast. Disappointed with Magneto’s behavior, Logan and Jean decide to not come back to the X-Men and act on their own.
When the psychotic mutant named Legion, son of Professor Charles Xavier, went back in time to eliminate Magneto but accidentally killed his father, a great change occurred in the timeline, creating another reality. This event made it possible for the immortal mutant villain Apocalypse to take control of Earth, in a world where the X-Men were created by Magneto, who came to believe in Xavier’s dream of mutants and humans living in peace. The only person aware of how history has changed is the mutant Bishop, and only he can stop the emergence of the Age of Apocalypse…More than just a story arc, “Age of Apocalypse” was a big Marvel event, of great importance for the comics chronology and praised by fans to this very day.
