I’ve Worked Out Where Wolverine’s Story Is Heading In X-Men ‘97 And You’re Not Ready

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary I know exactly how X-Men ‘97 should resolve Wolverine’s story, and the show has already set it up by drawing from Marvel history. Thanks to the shocking cliffhanger in X-Men ‘97’s ending, we already know that Apocalypse is back and Gambit will probably follow. The other X-Men are scattered across the timeline, and Wolverine is a shadow of his former self, stripped of his Adamantium.

X-Men '97 Set Wolverine Up For A Far Darker Season 2 Story Close When Magneto stripped Wolverine of his Adamantium in the comics, he did what any rational person would do: he went feral, misplaced his nose, and licked Cyclops. Not all at once, of course, but it was all very improper. Eventually, after multiple failed attempts to get his metal skeleton rebonded, Wolverine came face to face with Apocalypse, who gave him an offer the honorable Logan could not refuse and created one of the coolest versions of Wolverine in X-Men history: Death.

This would all also fit Wolverine’s established nature. He is the one to make the sacrifice and the difficult decision, not so much reckless as willing to go beyond normal stakes. That’s exactly why he was the one to put the X-Men’s negotiations either Magneto aside in favor of stabbing him. He’s also wounded by his past, and an opportunity to not lose himself to wildness would be an excellent way to play into that.

There’s also an excellent symmetry to Wolverine becoming Apocalypse’s minion. In terms of dramatic tension, copying Logan’s origin story from The Animated Series - in terms of him being used as a weapon - would be particularly heartbreaking. And his journey back from that, after wreaking some havoc, would mean X-Men '97 can give Wolverine a more substantial story, after accusations that season 1 consciously sidelined him.
