The end of The Wolverine

In this essay I am going to talk about my favorite movie, “Logan” and the comic book
series that inspired the movie, “Old man Logan” and “Dead man Logan”. Logan is a 2017
American superhero film starring Hugh Jackman as the titular character. It is the tenth film in the
X-Men film series and the third and final installment in the Wolverine trilogy following X-Men
Origins: Wolverine (2009) and The Wolverine (2013). The film, which takes inspiration from
"Old Man Logan" by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, based in an alternate bleak future,
follows an aged Wolverine and an extremely ill Charles Xavier who defends a young mutant
named Laura from the villainous Reavers led by Donald Pierce and Zander Rice. The film is
produced by 20th Century Fox, Marvel Entertainment, TSG Entertainment and The Donners'
Company, and distributed by 20th Century Fox . It is directed by James Mangold, who co-wrote
the screenplay with Michael Green and Scott Frank, from a story by Mangold. In addition to
Jackman, the film also stars Patrick Stewart, Richard E. Grant, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen
Merchant, and Dafne Keen.

First of all I have to justify my choice, a comic book inspired movie. Comic books tend
to not be considered literature, in my opinion for no good reason. The comic book genre started
as being made for children, with more simplistic stories ,simple topics and wholesome endings
and plot so they appeal to children and people’s opinion on comic books have not changed since
then, viewing them as nothing more than a way to get children into reading. Fairy tales have the
same simplistic stories topics and endings, yet they are viewed as literature by many people,
even being dissected by critics, teachers and qualified people, basically making them more than a
fairy tale , which is nothing more than absurd, sometimes a story is just a story with no hidden
meaning behind it. The structure of a comic book is also often criticized, “comic books are not
considered literature, they are rather based on pictures and very short dialogues”, which in my
opinion is not a very good point, a play is also composed of mostly dialogue, description of the
scenery and indications for the actors. Comic books replaced the description of the scenery the
play has with beautiful drawings of the scenery and characters which shows us exactly what the
author imagined the character as . Yet another problem comic books had that lead to the
reputation they now have is the childish topics and linear storylines , the reason they were made
that way was because of their target demographic were children .This problem has been solved a
long time ago , with comic books coming up with more thought provoking stories and more
mature content targeting an adult audience , which will be seen as I begin to explain the story of
the movie / comic book I am talking about . Comic book stories might also be seen as short
which is not true , comic books are not about stories , but about characters , instead of a simple
story that depict a story that is basically from point A to point B , comic books have thousands of
issues made by different authors that take the story into a different direction than the previous
one ,or that continue the story and these issues keep on going on , even with the end of a
character , the character can be revived , by starting everything from scratch with a new author ,
while a normal novel would end , comic books never end , it is literature that keeps on giving
and you will never have to feel empty because of the end of a certain story or character. These
arguments I made might be subjective and easily debunked but what cannot be debunked are
facts and there are quite a few facts that prove that comic books are literature . Maus is a graphic
novel by American cartoonist Art Spiegelman, serialized from 1980 to 1991. It depicts
Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor
and this graphic novel or comic book won a Pulitzer which is an award for achievements in
newspaper, magazine and online journalism, literature, and musical composition in the United
States. Maus was not an isolated case , Watchmen was on the Time Magazine’s list of the
greatest novels of all time , Watchmen is a graphic novel — a book-length comic book with
ambitions above its station—starring a ragbag of bizarre, damaged, retired superheroes: the
paunchy, melancholic Nite Owl; the raving doomsayer Rorschach; the blue, glowing, near-
omnipotent, no-longer-human Doctor Manhattan. Another irrefutable reason comic books are
literature and not just another delusion a confused child has is the fact that plenty of universities
have LITERATURE courses taught about comics such as Teachers College, Columbia
University ; University of North Texas; Texas Tech; University of Utah; Alfriston College;
Rhode Island College ; Seattle University ; Eastern Illinois University; Penn State ; California
State University Long Beach ; University of Florida ; University of Waterloo .

I think I have made my point and proved comic books should be considered literature so I
will move on and start talking about the plot , but first an introduction of the main character .
Logan / The Wolverine / James Howlett whatever you want to call him is a mutant with the
following abilities : Superhuman senses, strength, speed, durability, reflexes, stamina ,Extended
longevity via regenerative healing factor ,Adamantium(a metal existing only in the marvel
universe which is indestructible)-laced skeleton(this operation of lacing him with adamantium
was made so he can be used as a weapon in the Weapon-X program , he could regen almost any
injury and with an indestructible skeleton , nothing could stop him anymore ) ,Retractable bone-
claws (also laced with adamantium), Skilled master martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant.
His longevity and regenerative healing factor are so strong that he is 137 year old in the comics ,
which makes Logan a tragic character since he gets to see everyone around him wither away
while he remains alone, on multiple occasions he has tried to isolate himself to stop himself from
suffering , just trying to find peace , yet something always happens and he is forced to put his
claws back to work . “I’m the best there is at what I do . But what I do best isn’t very nice” is
quote from Wolverine , what he means is killing , he has killed countless people during the wars
he partook in and not only for the sake of war , but for the sake of justice too , he realizes that
some problems have to be dealt with indefinitely / once and for all ,unlike other super heroes that
have caused many people’s deaths just because they could not deal the finishing blow . All this
killing had a great strain on Logan’s mental , having nightmares almost every night despite all
this he continues his fight for someone has to do it. His entire struggle can be summarized with
yet another quote from him “Nature Made Me A Freak. Man Made Me A Weapon. And God
Made It Last Too Long”. These two stories , “Logan” and “Old man Logan” /”Dead man
Logan” depict a possible future for Wolverine and his end , I will start with a summary of the
plot of “Old man Logan “.

The United States and the world of Earth-807128 has been conquered and divided among
supervillains, with territories belonging to the Abomination (later conquered by the Hulk),
Magneto (later conquered by a new Kingpin), Doctor Doom, and the Red Skull, who has named
himself President of the United States. Superheroes have been wiped out of existence, with the
few survivors in hiding. Logan lives with his wife Maureen and young children Scotty and Jade
on a barren plot of land in Sacramento, California, now part of the territory known as Hulkland.
Needing money to pay rent to his landlords the Hulk Gang (the incestuous hillbilly grandchildren
of the Hulk and his first cousin She-Hulk), Logan accepts a job from a blind Clint Barton to help
him travel east to the capital of New Babylon and deliver a secret package (which Logan
assumes to be drugs).
 Logan and Hawkeye encounter several diversions on their journey. They rescue Ashley
Barton (who seems to be an aspiring Spider-Girl) from the clutches of the new Kingpin. She
murders Kingpin and reveals her intention to seize his territory of Hammer Falls (formerly Las
Vegas).

They escape a cluster of Moloids who are destroying cities by sinking them from beneath
the surface. They then get chased by a Venom symbiote-infused dinosaur (imported from the
Savage Land), but they are rescued and teleported by the White Queen and Black Bolt.

Throughout the story it is reiterated that the "Wolverine" persona died the day the villains
attacked and that since then, Logan has refused to use his claws (yet is shown in Old Man Logan
#14 (2016) using his claws once after this event, albeit briefly, to destroy the Silent Order's
leadership). Flashbacks reveal that on the night the attack happened, a group of 40 supervillains
attacked the X-Mansion. Unable to locate his teammates, Logan slaughtered the attackers to
ensure the safety of the mutant children. As the last "attacker", Bullseye, was killed, Logan
realized that the entire assault was an illusion created by Mysterio and his perceived enemies
were actually his fellow X-Men. This destroyed Wolverine emotionally and mentally, and he
fled the mansion and wandered away to a train track in shock and shame. Though he made a
subsequent suicide attempt by allowing a freight train to run him over, Logan could not actually
kill himself, but had effectively killed "Wolverine".

When they arrive at the capital, Hawkeye delivers his package to an underground
resistance group hoping to begin a new team like the Avengers. The package contains Super-
Soldier Formula, enough to form an army, but Barton's clients expose themselves as undercover
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. They shoot and kill Logan and Barton. Logan's body heals, and he awakens
in Red Skull's trophy room amongst the armaments and costumes of fallen superheroes. Without
using his claws, he kills Red Skull's men and engages Red Skull himself, eventually decapitating
him with Captain America's shield. He grabs a briefcase of money (their intended reward for the
delivery) and uses pieces of Iron Man's armor to fly back home.

Upon arriving, Logan discovers that, in his absence, the Hulk Gang murdered his family
and left the bodies unburied. His neighbor, Abraham Donovan, states that Logan's family was
killed when the Hulk Gang got tired of waiting for their payment. This results in Logan finally
unleashing his claws. He seeks out and slaughters the Hulk's grandchildren Beau, Bobbie-Jo,
Charlie, Elrod, Eustace, Luke, Otis, Rufus and Woody before encountering Old Man Banner
himself who displays monstrous strength, even in his human form. It is implied that the gamma
poisoning in his body had begun to deteriorate his sanity in his old age. Banner reveals that while
the murder of Logan's family was intended as a message to others, he really just wanted to get
Logan angry enough to fight him because he had gotten bored with being a "super-villain
landlord", like the others. In his Hulk form, Banner is enormous, bigger than the Hulk has ever
been shown before, and easily defeats Logan and then consumes him. Logan recuperates within
Banner's stomach and bursts out, killing the Hulk. Afterward, he discovers a baby Hulk named
Bruce Banner, Jr. A month later, Logan and his neighbors hold a small memorial for Logan's
family. With nothing left of his old home, Logan then says he plans to defeat all the new world
villains and bring peace to the land—with himself and Bruce Banner, Jr. being the first members
of a new group of superheroes—before riding off into the sunset.

When the Multiverse was destroyed and Battleworld was created, a different version
from another universe of "Old Man Logan" is reborn on the Battleworld domain called the
Wastelands, a re-creation of his native reality with his memories still intact, although he does not
know how he arrived in Battleworld. After having declared to set his world right, Logan disrupts
a poker game between the Gladiator and his Flying Devils, and he ends their human trafficking
ring by killing them, freeing those imprisoned. While on the way back to meet with Danielle
Cage, Logan witnesses the head of an Ultron Sentinel fall from above. Wishing to investigate
further, he brings it along with him back home, where Bruce Jr. and Danielle also reside. After
explaining this new development, he investigates the head's origins. He visits Hammer Falls and
meets with the dying Emma Frost, and he learns that the head is from beyond the Wastelands, so
he begins traveling beyond his domain.

When Logan trespasses upon its borders, he is approached by an unidentified Thor of the
Thor Corps. She attacks Logan with a lightning bolt for breaking Doctor Doom's laws, falling
into the Domain of Apocalypse in the process. Already healed from the burns caused by the
Thor's attack, Logan is attacked by Victor Creed (who is one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse)
and his soldiers, but Logan is rescued by the X-Men and taken to their hideout, where they are
attacked by Apocalypse and his other Horsemen.
 The battle that ensues is intervened by the Thor who attacked Logan earlier and as she
argues with Apocalypse, Logan flees and hides. The Thor then demands to know to where he had
run, but no one answers. Angry, she attacks both the X-Men and the Horsemen with a lightning
bolt and then looks for Logan through the domain. When she is near the domain's walls, Logan
climbs it and attacks her from behind. Enraged, the Thor attacks him with another lightning bolt
and lets him fall into the neighboring domain of Technopolis, as she is attacked by Apocalypse's
Infinite Soldiers. Logan is taken to Stark Tower by Baron Stark and Grand Marshal Rhodes, the
Thor of that domain. After healing from his injuries, Logan awakens only to find himself in a
totally different domain from the one where he was. He ends up fighting Rhodes, but is defeated
and sent to the Deadlands as punishment for breaking Doom's laws.

Due to his healing factor, Logan succeeds in fighting through hordes of zombies in the
Deadlands. He takes shelter inside a cave where he finds an uninfected She-Hulk who has been
there for a long time. He tries to convince her to throw him out of the Deadlands when the
zombies find them. In a desperate attempt to save Logan's life, She-Hulk grabs him and jumps as
high as she can to throw him out of the Deadlands as he had suggested, ultimately sacrificing her
own life to do so. Afterwards, Logan finds himself in the Battleworld domain called the
Kingdom of Manhattan.

While wandering the city he has not seen in years, Logan meets this domain's Jean Grey
and Emma Frost. They take him to meet the rest of the X-Men, as well as "his" son Jimmy
Hudson. Logan later leads the superhero population of the Kingdom of Manhattan in a rebellion
against God Emperor Doom. Subsequently, Logan finds himself in a new world.

Logan awakens on Earth-616 in New York City. He is not sure how he has been
relocated, but he knows he is in the past. He decides to prevent his post-apocalyptic future. His
first target is a minor villain named Black Butcher who, in his future, stole Scotty Logan's
baseball cap. Logan easily kills him.

Logan uses Black Butcher's workshop to prepare. He hears on the radio that the Hulk is
in Manhattan. Logan confronts Hulk and after a brief fight, learns that the Hulk in question is
actually Amadeus Cho and not Bruce Banner. After evading the police, Logan goes to
Hawkeye's apartment in Brooklyn to ask for his help, but he finds Kate Bishop.
 He explains his situation and drops exhausted on Hawkeye's couch, awakening 33 hours
later. Knowing that Logan is seeking Mysterio, Kate accesses the villain's last known
whereabouts on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database. She demands to join Logan on his search. When they
arrive, they find a man named Eddie and his unnamed partner there. Logan immediately attacks
them, cutting off one man's hand despite them denying that they knew who Mysterio is. A
horrified Kate tries to stop him, but Logan quickly neutralizes her as the two men escape. Logan
chases them, but he is stopped by the arrival of Commander Steve Rogers.

After gaining Logan's trust and bringing him to Alberta, Canada, Rogers reassures Logan
that this is not his past by showing him the adamantium-coated corpse of his younger self. The
sight reminds Logan to enjoy life, rather than brood over his own past ghosts. Although he tells
Rogers what he had experienced in his timeline, Logan declines Rogers' offer of help.

Logan later appears in Extraordinary X-Men where he decides to remain under the radar,
believing his destiny was to kill the X-Men and determined to try anything to avoid it. He also
vows to take out those who would orchestrate the villain uprising. Logan catches the X-Men's
attention when confronted by Cerebra. The X-Men believe Logan to be their late Wolverine
.Storm wants Logan to rejoin the team, but he declines. The time-displaced Jean Grey of the past
convinces Logan to change his mind and promises to stop him from killing the X-Men again.

After taking a momentary leave, Logan decides to head to the old Weapon X facility
where he initially met Maureen. He finds her, but she is still a child. The Reavers arrive at
Killhorn Falls with Lady Deathstrike and attempt to hunt down Logan. When Logan searches for
Maureen's missing dog, he discovers its corpse which was killed by the Reavers. As the Reavers
massacre the town, Logan singlehandedly kills them all and confronts Lady Deathstrike before
saving Maureen. He is wounded multiple times, but Logan defeats Deathstrike. As she leaves,
limping, Logan falls unconscious. Realizing that he failed to protect Maureen from the chaos,
Logan decides to hunt down Lady Deathstrike.

Logan returns to X-Haven where he has a nightmare about the villain uprising which
quickly alerts Jean. In order to calm Logan, Jean assists Logan's travels to Manhattan where in
his timeline, Daredevil, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight had been killed by Enchantress and Electro.
While Punisher managed to kill Electro, he was stabbed by Kraven the Hunter. Cerebra then
teleports Logan and Jean to Connecticut where Pym Falls would be established in Logan's
timeline. It is here where Crossbones, and the rest of the villains with him, killed Wonder Man
before Crossbones was stepped on by Giant-Man who also crushes Vulture with his hand. When
Wasp was killed after shooting down Hobgoblin, Giant-Man was devoured by the Moloids that
emerged from the ground when Avalanche shook the area around Giant-Man. Again not assured,
Jean and Cerebra teleport Logan to Westchester County, New York where Logan was tricked by
Mysterio into killing the X-Men. As Jean manages to assure Logan of no invasion, she takes
Logan to Madripoor where he is greeted by Puck, Hawkeye, Steve Rogers, and Jubilee. Logan
realizes that if and when the villain uprising comes, he will not need to face it alone.

Logan goes to a bar in Tokyo as Patch, where he meets Eito, a minor crimelord. Logan
attempts to bribe him for information on Lady Deathstrike's whereabouts, but the meeting turns
out to be a ruse. He is gunned down by Eito's henchmen, but he heals and then slaughters them
all. Before he kills Eito, Logan interrogates him and learns that Lady Deathstrike is in a remote
village. Logan travels there, noting that it is where he and Maureen had attempted to find refuge
in his past. The village is seemingly abandoned, but he finds Yuriko chained to a wall, begging
for his help. He is then ambushed by a ninja clan, the Silent Order. Four days later, he awakens
in a well and attempts to climb out, but he is shot down by Sohei, the Order's leader. Once Logan
succeeds in climbing out of the well, he sees he is in a temple and Lady Deathstrike is in a cage.
He is attacked by Sohei and the rest of the Silent Order. Logan is overwhelmed by the horde of
ninjas, so he has no choice but to free Lady Deathstrike. After Logan and Yuriko manage to kill
all of the ninjas, she attempts to kill Sohei, but is cut down by him, causing her to stumble back
into the well. Just as Logan attempts to confront Sohei, he is telekinetically assaulted by his
unwitting enforcer, a mutant child called the Silent Monk, whose older self Logan had killed in
his timeline. The Monk has had a vision of his death and tries to kill Logan by throwing him into
the well over and over again. Lady Deathstrike throws an arrow into the Silent Monk's thigh,
causing him to fall in. Logan then threatens to kill the young mutant unless Sohei releases he and
Yuriko. Sohei calls Logan's bluff, but knows that Yuriko is more than willing to murder a
helpless child. Sohei agrees to their demands, just as the Silent Monk regains consciousness and
lashes out. The Monk transforms into a giant creature as his powers run wild. Logan convinces
the young boy to read his mind, assuring the Monk that Logan's future will never likely come
true. The young boy then realizes that Sohei has been manipulating him and subdues Sohei and
the remaining Silent Order ninjas. Logan offers to take the Silent Monk to X-Haven, to which he
accepts.

One day at X-Haven, Logan is approached by Cerebra, who informs him of Jubilee's
disappearance. Logan begins his search by going to Jubilee's apartment, only to find her infant
son, Shogo, by himself. Logan leaves the baby in Cerebra's care before telling her to teleport him
to wherever Jubilee was last located, which is Romania. Soon after arriving, Logan encounters
the Howling Commandos who mistake him for a vampire and attack him. After the
misunderstanding is cleared, their leader Warwolf informs Logan of their war with Dracula.
Dracula has been psychically calling all vampires to his castle which, Logan deduces, must
include Jubilee. The Commandos attack Dracula's castle while Logan sneaks in, but are subdued
by his army, led by Vampire by Night, who is under Dracula's control. Logan finds Jubilee who,
also under Dracula's control, begs him to save her. Just as he lets his guard down, Dracula attacks
Logan from behind, biting him. Logan fights Dracula as his healing factor fights off the
vampirism. The Vampire King easily beats the weakened Logan, who then passes out. Logan
wakes up in the dungeon, along with the Howling Commandos. As Dracula taunts them, Jubilee
begins resisting his control. Logan encourages her to fight back just before Man-Thing and
Orrgo break in to free everyone. Dracula threatens to kill Jubilee as Logan approaches him. Now
free from his control, Jubilee throws Dracula towards Logan, who then impales him. After a brief
scuffle, Orrgo grabs Dracula and exposes him to the sun. Logan then proceeds to decapitate
Dracula, freeing his thralls. Logan instructs Cerebra to throw Dracula's head into the sun in order
to prevent or at the very least, delay his resurrection. Later, Logan spends time with Jubilee and
Shogo over dinner.

Logan awakens in a desert, his memory hazy. Logan realizes that he is somehow back in
the Wastelands, as he is attacked by the Venom T-rex. After killing the beast, Logan retraces his
steps and remembers receiving a distress call from Puck, who he and the rest of Alpha Flight
were trapped in an abandoned space station formerly owned by Reed Richards. After going into
space and entering said space station via X-Shuttle, Logan found it infested with the Brood. He
managed to kill the Brood drones that attacked him and proceeded to look for Alpha Flight, only
to find most of them encased in cocoons. Logan was then attacked by Sasquatch and Abigail
Brand, who had been converted into Brood drones. He was saved by Puck at the last minute and
the two escaped through an air vent. After finding a safe place to regroup, the hull was ripped
open, causing Logan to be pulled into space. Logan regained consciousness aboard the Alpha
Flight Squadron Jet, piloted by Puck, who had saved him. The two then snuck back onto the
station. Logan and Puck were discovered by the Brood, forcing them to fight. The Brood then
inexplicably disappeared. Logan goes back to his old house looking for Dani Cage and Bruce
Banner Jr. only to find it seemingly abandoned. Logan then hears a noise and finds Dani bound
and gagged in the closet. She tells him that Bruce has been kidnapped by Kang the Conqueror.
Logan then sets out to hunt down Kang down and rescue the baby. Logan's search leads him to
Niagara Falls, where he is assaulted by some thugs and kicked down a cliff. Logan regains
consciousness and soon encounters a hysterical Puck, surrounded by the corpses of Alpha Flight.
Puck warns Logan about the "Warlord of the Wastelands" just before Kang reveals himself.
Kang claims to have taken the baby in order to prevent the Warlord's rise to power, confusing
Logan. They are confronted by the Warlord, who is revealed to be a fully grown Bruce Banner
Jr. As the Warlord beats Logan, Puck urges him to remember what has happened. It is revealed
that the X-Men came to help, but were converted by the Brood and that Logan's experiences in
the Wastelands were an illusion created by Jean Grey. Jean telepathically assaults Logan by
forcing him to relive his greatest crimes and failures. He resists the attack and kills the parasite
controlling Jean. Jean shuts down the Brood hive mind, freeing everyone from its control. In the
aftermath, Logan resolves to go back to the Wastelands to save baby Bruce.

Logan seeks help from the foremost experts on time travel and sorcery, including Magik,
Beast, Shaman, Cable, Wiccan, Doctor Doom, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange,
who all refuse to help him, due to how his plan might affect the timestream. Desperate and left
with no options, Logan breaks into the Cellar: a maximum-security super-prison. After subduing
the guards, Logan is confronted by Spider-Man, whom he distracts by freeing some of the
inmates. Logan then enters the cell of Asmodeus, a servant of Satannish and makes him an offer.
Asmodeus states to Logan that he would help him in his mission if he picked up some of his
things. Afterwards, Asmodeus begins to help Logan in his mission to rescue Bruce Banner
Jr.After reliving each moment, Logan finally arrives in the current time, where he finds that the
remainder of the Hulk Gang are now working for an unidentified version of Maestro. Logan
discovers that Maestro has rounded up the remaining members of the Hulk Gang in his plan to
make a paradise for all Hulks on Earth-616. Hearing about what Logan did, Hawkeye followed
Logan to his timeline and helped to fight the Hulk Gang. With help from the Cambria Banner,
Logan and Hawkeye of Earth-616 were able to defeat Maestro and the surviving members of the
Hulk Gang went their separate ways. Afterwards, Logan and Hawkeye returned to Earth-616.

During the "Civil War II" storyline, Maria Hill recruited Logan to investigate the missing
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents. He was saved by Wolverine (X-23) before he can be eaten by Fin Fang
Foom. Ulysses Cain's vision stated that Logan would kill X-23's clone Honey Badger. This led to
Captain America and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to show up to arrest Logan moments after Logan,
Wolverine, and Honey Badger defeated the burglars. While a similar event happened during the
conflict, Honey Badger survived Logan's attack as Logan commented that he killed the X-23 of
his world due to his hallucination. After Wolverine threatened to have Logan thrown in jail if
Honey Badger is harmed again, Logan quoted to Honey Badger that he will come after her if
Wolverine is harmed. After Honey Badger threatened Logan, Wolverine and Honey Badger told
Captain America that they are not partaking in the second civil war.Ulysses Cain's latest vision
has him in the Wastelands where he meets Logan after he saves Ulysses from a Hulk. Ulysses
learns that the Inhumans left Earth when Tony Stark "pushed her too far".

During the "Inhumans vs. X-Men" storyline, Inferno and Iso escape through Eldrac to get
away from Wolverine, only to end up running into Logan. While Inferno distracts Logan, Iso
discovers Forge nearby with a device that the X-Men are planning to use to destroy the Terrigen
Cloud. Iso and Inferno manage to defeat Logan and Forge, then flee as they take Forge prisoner.

During the "Monsters Unleashed" storyline, Logan is seen fighting Leviathons in

Louisiana and receives help from Monstrom.

During the "RessurXion" storyline, Logan is seen as a member of Kitty Pryde's new Gold
Team of X-Men as they fight Mesmero's incarnation of the Brotherhood of Mutants. It was
discovered that the members were under Mesmero's control on behalf of Lydia Nance. After the
Brotherhood of Mutants was defeated, the X-Men track down Lydia Nance and state that they
will come for her if she tries anything against them again.

While spending some alone time in the woods as part of the "Weapons of Mutant
Destruction" storyline, Logan is attacked by Weapon X cyborgs, forcing him to team up with
Sabretooth to confront the current iteration of the organization, whose goal is to hunt mutantkind
to extinction. This experiment led to the creation of Weapon H.

Logan later went on the trail of the Regenix drug which took him to Ikebukuro where he
fought the head of the operation and the Crazy Thunder Gang. After being directed to Touku
Kenmochi, he learns that he has died and meets with his widow Asami where she stated that
Touku was coerced into bringing the Regenix samples to the Crazy Thunder Gang. Their
conversation is crashed by the Hand Ninjas led by Gorgon and Scarlet Samurai. When Logan
was subdued, Gorgon ordered Scarlet Samurai to remove her helmet as Logan discovered that
Scarlet Samurai is the resurrected Mariko Yashida who hesitated to attack Logan enabling him
and Asami to get away. When the Silver Samurai wanted to ally himself with Logan, he agreed
in exchange that he doesn't kill Mariko and that Touku and Asami's child is taken care of. When
Logan and Silver Samurai attack the Hand's Regenix operations, Silver Samurai fought Gorgon
while Logan fought the Hand Ninjas to confront Mariko. After Gorgon got away, Silver Samurai
injected nanites into Mariko to break the Hand's control over her. Afterwards, Logan and Mariko
sent Silver Samurai to destroy the Regenix shipments in Madripoor.

Recently, Old Man Logan, Lady Deathstrike, and Sabretooth were captured by a group of
anti-mutant terrorists called the Orphans Of X and were all killed, having all their heads blown
off by bullets covered in Muramasa metal and their healing factors nullified temporarily, until
being rescued by X-23 Wolverine. They were later revived.

Next is the “Dead man Logan” storyline which is basically the way Logan dies as the
name of the comic book implies.

After defeating an alternate version of the Maestro, Logan recognized that he was dying
of old age, now relying on regenix to supplement his failing healing factor. He decided to set out
to return to his original timeline after sorting out a few loose ends in this one, which included
eliminating Mysterio so that the villain could never attempt the same feat he accomplished in
Logan's past. Mysterio was recruited by Neo-HYDRA and Miss Sinister when they learned
about Logan's history, but Mysterio eventually turned against Neo-HYDRA to aid the Avengers
when he learned that Neo-HYDRA intended to kill him once they had won. Mysterio
subsequently faked his death after Logan and the Avengers defeated Neo-HYDRA.
 After a meeting with his resurrected counterpart, Logan asked Mariko to keep an eye on
the version of his future wife in this timeline before he returned to the Wasteland via a time
portal created by Forge. Returning to the Wastelands, Logan engaged the Creel Gang, Lizard's
gang, Joseph Manfredi and his henchmen, and the Phantom Riders. When Logan was captured
by Ozark cannibals , which they keep as an infinite source of food since Logan can regenerate ,
he is saved by Danielle Cage and Bruce Banner Jr. who inform him that a lot of villains like the
Punisher Gang are looking for him after what he did to Red Skull. What happened to Red Skull
and the Hulk Gang caused a power vacuum in the Wastelands. After a fight with the Tranquility
Temple that tried to kill him and Bruce Banner Jr., Logan drove his group to the Badlands where
they met with Forge and Dwight Barrett. Forge's lair was attacked by Sabretooth and his clones.
Forge unleashed an unstable Speedball from him container who destroyed the Sabretooth clones
as Sabretooth made off with Bruce Jr. Tracking Sabretooth to a Weapon X facility, Logan and
Danielle discovered that the head of the Weapon X facility is Mister Sinister who created the
Sabretooth clones and claimed that he orchestrated the villains' rise to power which Red Skull
took the credit for. After Logan and Danielle Cage rescued Bruce Banner Jr., they got chased by
the Sabretooth clones until Danielle picked up Mjolnir and became the new Thor. Logan would
eventually meet his end when after killing Sabretooth and Mister Sinister. He would lay dead
near the graves of his deceased family looking up into the sun. After burying Logan with his
family, Danielle Cage as the new Thor, Bruce Banner Jr. as the new Hulk, and Dwight Barrett as
the new Ant-Man formed a new incarnation of the Avengers and vow to keep fighting the
opposition until they can find a place they can call home.

The movie “Logan “ is also a story about a possible future for Wolverine , although it is
meant to tug at your heartstrings more than the comic book story by having Logan have someone
to care for , for the entire movie instead of having everyone he loves killed at the beginning of
the story .

In 2029, no mutants have been born in 25 years. An aging Logan's healing ability is
failing. Working as a limo driver in El Paso, Texas, he and mutant tracker Caliban care for 90-
year-old Charles Xavier, Logan's mentor and founder of the X-Men, in an abandoned smelting
plant in northern Mexico. Xavier has developed dementia that causes him to have destructive
seizures; it is alluded that one year prior, one such seizure released a powerful wave of his
telepathic powers that resulted in the deaths of six hundred people, including several of the X-
Men.

Logan reluctantly agrees to escort Gabriela Lopez, a former nurse for biotechnology
corporation Alkali-Transigen, and a young girl, Laura, to Eden, a refuge in North Dakota. Later
finding Gabriela dead, Logan is confronted at his Mexican hideout by her killer Donald Pierce,
who is Transigen's cyborg chief of security. Pierce is looking for Laura, who has stowed away in
Logan's limo and has similar powers to him. She, Logan, and Xavier escape Pierce and his
Reavers, but Caliban is tortured into tracking Laura.

A video on Gabriela's cellphone shows that Transigen created Laura and other children
from mutant DNA to become weapons; Laura was created from Logan's DNA. As they proved
difficult to control and Transigen found an alternative, the children were to be killed, but
Gabriela and other nurses helped some escape. In Oklahoma City, Logan discovers that Eden
appears in Laura's X-Men comic and tells her it is fictional. The Reavers arrive, but Xavier has a
seizure and incapacitates everyone except Logan and Laura, who kill the attackers and inject
Xavier with his medication. As they flee, Dr. Zander Rice, head of Transigen, arrives to help
Pierce.

Logan, Laura, and Xavier help farmer Will Munson and his family after a traffic incident,
accepting an offer of dinner at their home, where Logan drives off enforcers from a corporate
farm. Rice unleashes X-24, a clone of Logan in his prime and his alternative to the child
program, who murders Will's family and Xavier, stabbing Will and capturing Laura. Caliban sets
off grenades, killing himself and several Reavers while injuring Pierce. Logan is outmatched by
X-24, but Will pins X-24 with his truck before dying from his injuries. Logan and Laura escape
with Xavier's body.

After burying Xavier, Logan passes out. Laura takes him to a doctor and persuades him
to prove that the site in North Dakota is not Eden. There, they find Rictor and other Transigen
children preparing to cross into Canada. Laura finds an adamantium bullet that Logan has kept
since his escape from the Weapon X facility, which he once considered using to commit suicide.
Logan decides that his job is done and chooses not to accompany them, to Laura's dismay.
 When the Reavers capture the children, Logan takes an overdose of a serum given to him
by Rictor that temporarily enhances his healing abilities and boosts his strength. With Laura's
help, he slaughters most of the Reavers before the serum wears off. As Pierce holds Rictor at
gunpoint, Rice tells Logan, who killed Rice's father years ago at the Weapon X facility, that no
new mutants have been born due to genetically engineered crops created by Transigen and
distributed through the world's food supply. Logan, having found a gun, shoots Rice and injures
Pierce. X-24, enraged by Rice's death, fights Logan, as the children combine their powers to kill
Pierce and the remaining Reavers. Rictor uses his powers to flip a truck onto X-24, but he frees
himself and impales Logan on a large tree branch. Laura uses Logan's revolver and adamantium
bullet to shoot X-24 in the head.

Near death, Logan tells Laura not to become the weapon that she was made to be, and
after she tearfully acknowledges him as her father, he dies peacefully in her arms. Laura and the
children bury Logan, and Laura turns his grave marker on its side to create an X, honoring him
as a member of the X-Men before she and the children depart for the Canadian border.

Both of these stories are about the future of Logan and his end , both are compelling
stories in their own way . The movie “Logan” is the first movie that has moved me to tears and
my favorite movie , you would think that I watched the movie because of the character
“Wolverine” but that is not true , I did not have the slightest interest in the character , I only
watched the movie because I was hearing great things about it and Hugh Jackman was retiring
from his role as Wolverine , it was the first X-Men movie I watched and I was not
disappointed .The fact that it moved me to tears when I had no nostalgia or connection towards
the character speaks volumes about how good the movie was . The movie drawn me to the
character not the opposite . I believe I watched it in 2018 and this year in 2020 I have also “read”
the “Old man Logan” comics , and I say read in quotation marks because I have only watched it
on movie ,with someone explaining it (it was 3 hours , the “Dead man Logan” story was like
another hour) , I kind of read it too since the video had panels from the actual comic books . The
move “Logan” has a more “wholesome” ending with Logan finally finding the family he has
been looking for and being able to protect his “daughter” while the comic books have an ending
better fitting of the character “Wolverine” , the endless quest for revenge and justice ended with
the revenge unfulfilled and the world still a bad place , with Logan never finding the family he
has longed for or rather having it taken away . Both versions of the stories have Logan die , with
only his “legacy” remaining , in the movie , his “daughter” Laura , leading the mutant children
group to a safe place for mutants , with her acknowledging him as her father and then Logan
saying “So this is how it feels” implying that he finally found his family , and in the comic books
with his legacy being the new avengers that will continue his fight to make the World better.

In conclusion not only should comic books be considered literature but should also be
taken more seriously since some comic book depict some very serious mature topics . “Old man
Logan”/”Dead man Logan” both were great comic books series that inspired an amazing movie
that has earned critics praises and awards , it became one of the best-reviewed films in the X-
Men franchise, with many critics regarding it as one of the greatest superhero films ever made,
and it was selected by the National Board of Review as one of the top ten films of 2017, it was
nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 90th Academy Awards, becoming the first live-
action superhero film ever to be nominated for screenwriting it grossed over $619 million
worldwide and became the third-highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, all of these things are
what make The story of Logan and his end so good . I recommend watching the movie at least
because the comic book version might be too long for someone not passionate about the
character , the movie also being the one that made me so passionate about a character I did not
even bat an eye at before .
