Title:
Weapon X: Days of Future Now
Synopsis:
In his nightmare, Wolverine has just buried his wife, Carol Danvers. He is sick of going to funerals and of the running. Suddenly, Sentinels emerge from the ground and almost kill him.
Logan is woken up by the Juggernaut, who warns that their base is under attack. They join their allies, now including Fantomex and Jackson, in yet another battle against the Sentinels near the original Weapon X facility in Canada. Many people get killed, though the survivors safely make it inside the facility, thanks to Jackson’s memories of it. They make it to Room X, where they free its prisoner: Rachel Summers.
To the group’s surprise, the Director has had enough of people being herded like cattle and being scanned and mistreated. He chooses to join forces with Wolverine.
Rachel comes up with the plan to send Logan back into the past, when he just escaped from the Weapon X facility after the admantium was bound to his skeleton and prevent himself from killing a young Director, hence preventing his hatred towards mutants.
The plan works, and Logan gets sent back, though it results in the death of both Jackson and the Director.
While Logan does his job in the past, Fantomex kills Cecilia and reveals his true identity: that of John Sublime. He sends his energy floating into Wolverine’s body, thereby traveling into the past. There, he takes over Logan’s body and starts slicing Colcord up. Logan’s healing factor restores his body, and Sublime is defeated, with Logan heading towards the woods.
With everyone gone, the past’s Sublime enters and trips over Colcord’s body. Sublime recognizes his younger body and floats inside it, ready for yet another evil scheme.
Notes:
This issue takes place in only one possible future, namely, that of over 30 years from now.
Brent Jackson initiating the attack was hinted upon in Weapon X (2002) #23-25. He was located by Fantomex last issue.
While Magneto was still alive last issue, this issue reveals that the Sentinels executed him off-panel.
The “Prisoner of Room X” had been a mystery since Weapon X: Days of Future Now #2, and in this issue, is finally revealed to be Rachel Summers.
The original story behind the Days of Future Past can be found in Uncanny X-Men #141-142.
Wolverine, as being responsible for the Director’s hatred by ruining his face when he escaped from the first Weapon X Program, has been revealed in Wolverine (1988) #166.
