Northstar and Aurora use their old double-whammy starburst, Heather gets the robot's remote control, and the robot takes care of AIM. The heroes infiltrate the base, trying to rescue Mac and Beta Flight. Modok, the guinea pig cum mad scientist, observes. Heather explains how Dept. H ultimately demoted the second Alpha Flight (see Alpha Flight II, recently cancelled) to Beta Flight, with duplicate Mac (Alpha Flight I:129) as leader, while the original Alphas returned. Heather is estranged from her erstwhile deceased husband, and her relationship with Puck didn't work out, either. Panels drop; gas rises; all are taken captive, but *Wolverine is missing. He's prowling the halls, suspicious that Dept. H could have overlooked such a large facility. He uses the computers to locate the two Macs and breaks in, while AIM guards pile on. He defeats them all, forcing the last one to seal the lab. Modok is irritated and sends the new Weapon X to stop *Wolverine.

Kane arrives, and the two Weapon X's fight. *Wolverine throws Kane and Mac Sr. against the tank, and Mac Jr. electrocutes Kane. Heather, captive, wonders why AIM is suddenly interested in mutants and magic; Modok says it's his doing. *Wolverine arrives and attacks the guards; Sasquatch reverts to human form to free himself, then becomes Sasquatch again and frees the rest.

H superhero, with a short-eared yellow and blue costume. Chasen (Alpha Flight I:92) sends him on his first assignment, against a terrorist group in Ontario (cf. iss. 50, but Mac already told Logan this is a fake mission: a dry run). Logan makes short work of the actors, but then just disappears. He wakes in an underground base, a captive of the Leader (fresh from Marvel Feature 11), along with Hercules and Karkas, a Deviant. The Leader wants them to defeat the Hulk, and then he will nullify the gamma radiation and revert him to Banner forever. Logan escapes his bonds and frees the others, and they battle "synthetic humanoids." The Leader flees; Logan follows, slashing through the bases's defenses and the Leader's hoverchair, which crashes into the gamma-nullifying tank. A robot crashes into a wall and collapses the lab. The heroes go home. Dept. H sends Logan to stop the Hulk, who is on Canadian soil (Hulk 180-181).

They find their plant, who replaced Logan, and warn him the final transformation will be permanent. He's ready. Over the months, he raised everyone's suspicions about Xavier, till he was forced to disband the team (X-Men II:92). *Wolverine's cover was blown when the real Logan showed up as Apocalypse's Horseman, Death, and killed him (The Astonishing X-Men 3, X-Men II:95). While the X-Men try to figure out how to deal with all this, Apocalypse sends Logan to kill Hulk, who refused to be War (Hulk 456). Flashback: Apocalypse captures Logan and sets him in an arena against Creed, who wants to be a Horseman. Logan guts him to prevent that, and Apocalypse strips Creed of his adamantium, returning it to Logan. It's quite painful, but Logan is willing to make any sacrifice to stop Creed. Logan fights Hulk, who is fed up with him and finally smashes him with a tree trunk. Logan comes up with claws and pierces Hulk's hand; he smashes him against another tree, and his own strength pushes Logan's claw into his neck.

Psylocke risks releasing the Shadow King (X-Men II:78) by using Cerebro to help the X-Men find Logan in the Morlock tunnels. She locks onto him and makes him remember his transformation by Apocalypse. The pain stuns him, and the X-Men gang up on him. Archangel throws him into the wall, but he stabs his wing with his sword and runs. He vaguely remembers the Morlock Massacre (UXM 211-212). Kitty catches up to him and duels; her phasing power gives her an advantage, but he eventually defeats her, and Archangel has to wing her to safety. Archangel's fighting his own memories of this place (X-Factor 10) and nearly gets impaled by Logan, but Jubilee throws a major plasma bomb and knocks him for a loop. All Logan's friends encourage him to fight Apocalypse's influence, and Psylocke's psi-form stabs his brain. It works, but then Archangel goes berserk.

In Westchester, Psylocke monitors, while Moira worries about the Shadow King. Archangel flies to a hospital. He's always wanted to help, and now he's no longer blinded by the darkness. He remembers being Apocalypse's Death (X-Factor 19), and the restoration of his natural wings (UXM 338), and forces Psylocke out of his mind, purging the pain with light. Glowing all over, he goes to a cancer patient, who thinks he's an angel of God. He can't cure her, but he takes away her pain and fear. Logan and Psylocke's psi-form follow him, not sure what he's doing. Psylocke never realized his power or his great despair, and she merges his mind with Logan's. Both had been made Death, and Logan realizes Archangel is looking for Abraham, the original War, who is quadriplegic. At his bedside, Logan attacks Archangel, who generates talons of energy. Shadow King tells Psylocke to release him and he'll restore them both to their right minds; Archangel enters her mind, telling her to trust him and push Shadow King back into his prison. Archangel and Logan stand off. Archangel says he represents hope, and Logan must trust him to dispel the effects of Apocalypse. Logan retracts his claws and Archangel his talons. Archangel asks Abraham if he would do it again: if, for the chance to walk again, he would serve Apocalypse. Abraham answers silently; Archangel's light flows into him, curing him. He thanks Archangel for giving him hope. Logan and Archangel look at the rising sun, realizing their redemption will come one day at a time.

Blastaar and Annhilus break through from the Negative Zone and attack the Fantastic Four. Hulk opened the portal to get rid of his wife, Harpy. Now, when Blastaar attacks, he punches him back through, but he also shifts into his dumb persona and turns against Logan. Spider-Man zaps him with a gun he designed himself, reverting him to Banner's form, and then throws Harpy into Annhilus and back through the portal. Banner and Spider-Man resume their search for a cure for Harpy. These heroes became the Fantastic Four after the originals sacrificed themselves to stop X-Man (who defeated and replaced Apocalypse), along with the Avengers and X-Men. The world has collapsed in ruins. Ghost Rider is shot out of the sky. Logan has coffee with his girlfriend, Stacey, but the Fantastiflare calls him back.

Without his healing factor, he's dying of adamantium poisoning. He goes to the junkyard his Skrull replacement took Nightcrawler to (iss. 140) and finds androids, some in the form of heroes, restored by the Reanimator, who threatens to "use your intestines to string my guitar." Logan asks why his friends were attacked, but Reanimator ain't talking and sees Nova coming, so he sics his bots on Logan. Without a healing factor, Logan is unable to cut loose and is nearly strangled. Finally, he has to pop claws and screams in pain. He sends Nova to get the rest of the New Warriors. Logan, without enhanced senses, takes a beating, but Nova returns and flies him away. The Reanimator has lost his mutant power to fix or control the androids, and the New Warriors have to bash each one. Later, Logan catches up with Nova at the burger joint (with a patch over his eye for real, this time). He thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Logan shows no sympathy and goes to Yukio's new, luxurious apartment. She takes him to meet Amiko on her way home from school and warns him she's adolescent. They watch as she throws a boy through a plate glass window: he had hit on her friend, and Yukio had taught her some moves. Amiko runs off; Logan finds her and pulls the boy's gold teeth out of her knuckles. He apologizes for his and Yukio's mistakes in parenting and gives her a gift that is too juvenile for her. Yukio tries to bed Logan, but the Samurai breaks in and collapses, a sword in his back. Yukio gives him first aid, and he says he let Haan expand his criminal empire into Japan (from Mongolia, all Asia, and Europe). Haan turned against him when he refused to kill a rival's child. Gunmen crash in. Yukio gets Amiko to safety, while Logan and the Samurai push them all out the window. Haan attacks, shoots Logan out the window, and impales the Samurai.
