History

Origins

This variant of Logan is a temporal divergence of his Earth-10005 counterpart, sharing his history up until 1973, when he was working as a bodyguard for the mafia.

History rewritten

Logan in 1973

In 1973, when Logan was, supposedly, serving as a bodyguard, his mind was taken over by the consciousness of his future self, who arrived that year in order to prevent Mystique from killing Bolivar Trask as a means to prevent a massive war that slaughtered millions of mutants in a dark future.

While pursuing and capturing Mystique in Paris, Wolverine saw Major William Stryker, triggering traumatic flashbacks. Logan temporarily recover his consciousness, looked around wondering where he was before his future self snapped back. When future Logan succeeded in his mission, his consciousness left his body and returned to the future. Logan woke up being rescued from drowning by Mystique, disguised as Major Stryker.

Weapon X

Logan as Weapon X

Over the next decade, Logan was held by the U.S. Army's Weapon X Program at Alkali Lake to be experimented upon. Mystique eventually stopped masquerading as Stryker, and the real Stryker, now Colonel, oversaw the experiments done to him. They coated his claws with Adamantium and wiped his memory.

A couple days after the tenth anniversary of Logan being retrieved from the river, Logan was set free from his cell at Alkali Lake by a few mutant teenagers, one of whom revealed to Logan a few fragments of his past via telepathy. Logan escaped the compound, and ran off into the snowy forest.

Consciousness erasure

Over the next 40 years, Logan joined the X-Men, and the crisis his future self went back into the past to avert never occurred. In 2023, the consciousness of the other Logan woke up in his body in this timeline, confused at the dramatic changes between his current present and the future he left behind, and finally erasing this Logan's distinct consciousness.
