History
The history of this Wolverine diverged from that of his Earth-616 self soon after Moira was exposed and forced to flee Krakoa.[1]
Feeling betrayed by the mutants, Moira allied herself with the Sentinels, helping them to destroy Krakoa along with the circuit used for mutant resurrection. As Nimrod and the Sentinels tore down what remained of Krakoa, Forge gave Wolverine an organic implant - a seed of a new Krakoan flower that would allow travel through time the same way Gateways allowed for travel through space. Tasked with finding out what brought out the end of the mutants and why, Wolverine spent decades between surviving on the run, captured and being experimented on, and then escaping once again. Always looking for the root cause, he never found it and was eventually put into the Preserve by Homo novissima. He spent the next thousand years there, but on the verge of post-humanity's ascension into the Phalanx, he was approached by Moira, who revealed her desire for revenge against the mutants as both her motive and the means by which they were eradicated. Finally knowing the answer, Wolverine clawed the seed from inside his body and let it grow around him, but not before Moira injected the Phalanx virus into him. His healing factor kept it at bay for the time, and Wolverine was absorbed by the flower,[1] which took him back in time to Earth-616 right after Moira's escape.[2]
Attempting to avoid detection by the present versions of Krakoans, Wolverine clawed his way from inside the egg and went after Moira to take care of her once and for all. He visited Moira's No-Space to pick up her scent, evaded Jean Grey's telepathic scan,[2] then departed the island. Tracking the Warlock part of her arm, Wolverine tracked Moira to a temporary hideout in Oklahoma. It was already on fire by the time he got there, but Wolverine still walked inside to check Moira's search history. Despite her using TOR and VPN protection, Wolverine's Phalanx abilities showed that she was going to meet with Arnab Chakladar in California.[3] Logan crashed his lecture at Epiphany Campus, but by this point he was already caught on cameras in Oklahoma, so Xavier sent the trio of Wolverines: Daken, Laura Kinney, and Gabby Kinney to stop this new Wolverine. The three of them attacked a version of their father, who briefly fought them before stopping and describing the future he came from. This convinced his children that he could be trusted and they joined him in his pursuit of Moira.[4]
They followed her to Chakladar's base, but by that point Moira was already gone. Wolverine tortured Chakladar himself into revealing that Moira was going back to Krakoa, then ordered the kids to destroy every trace of the work she had done at the lab. He rushed through a gate back to the island and found Moira in the middle of her showdown with Destiny. Wolverine stabbed Moira, dealing her body a fatal wound, but before she expired Moira shot him with Forge's depowering gun. His mutant healing factor gone, the Phalanx took over both Wolverine's mind and body completely.[1] The skeletal remains of his body rushed towards the Cradle, which the Phalanx intended to infect. Daken, Laura, and Gabby tried to stop him, slowing the skeletal remains of their alternate future father enough for the present Wolverine to finally arrive. An epic fight between two equals raged on until Sage brought Logan the Cerebro Sword that neutralized the Phalanx virus on the adamantium claws of his counterpart. After the skeletal Wolverine was dealt a killing blow, Krakoa absorbed his remains into itself.[5]Attributes
Powers
- Superhuman Speed: As Laura claimed, he was too fast for them.[5]
- Phalanx Powers: He was able to scan the human body of Arnab Chakladar, allowing him to see through the skin, muscles, and skull to the brain, although not in its natural state. As he can still see the individual, but their skull will partially obscure their face as a semi-transparent Day-of-the-Dead mask. Upon closer inspection, being able to switch from scanning the skin, muscles, and skeletal systems, the brain resembles scribbled art, but is still in the shape of a brain. When scanning, the scanner displays a highlighted point with a label indicating which body part, muscle, bone, or organ is being viewed. A similar example would be a PET/CT scan.[1]
