Aurora was kidnapped and brainwashed, like Madison Jeffries, who was extracted from the terrorist group known as the Zodiac and used to create hundreds of Boxbots loyal to Weapon X to serve as guards at Neverland. Washout had his powers enhanced, though at a heavy cost.
Each usage of his powers endangered his life and eventually, he dies trying to kill Colcord. Mesmero joins willingly, while Reaper and Wildside, former members of the Mutant Liberation Front, became agents of the program in exchange for their lives.
The psychic mutant Jack-in-the-Box joins after his legs and arms were amputated. He becomes a living polygraph. Unbeknownst to all, except Sabretooth, Mister Sinister was disguised as the head scientist at the Neverland facility, Doctor Robert Windsor.
As Windsor, Sinister supposedly helped some mutants escape from Neverland, but he was only taking them to his own secret labs. After some time, Brent Jackson, the only human officially on the team, took over as Director, during a mutiny by the team in conjunction with an attack by mutants from the Underground.
Cable led this group, in a mission to destroy Weapon X and expose its existence and its human rights violations. Washout and Garrison Kane died in the event, while Sabretooth was washed away into the sewers after a battle with Marrow.
Marrow used the battle to escape from Weapon X, eventually taking over the Mutant Underground, now reformed as the third incarnation of Gene Nation. Colcord fled Weapon X, with the always loyal Jeffries, and Aurora as well. Chamber was originally a double agent working for the X-Men, but was subsequently brainwashed into Jackson's service.
Mister Sinister, under the alias of Dr. Windsor, remains at Weapon X. At some point, Jackson's team fought with Colcord's Boxbots. Colcord regains control of Weapon X. A person claiming to be Chamber has joined a superhero team known as Excelsior, but that person turned out to be an impostor.
Following M-Day, both Chamber and Mesmero are rendered powerless. Neverland is shut down and the prisoners, either powered or depowered, are executed by hosts of Boxbots. Records of the massive executions are discovered by Beast in the Endangered Species storyline, which also hints that some of the bodies of the prisoners executed prior to M-Day were sent to Ord and used in the research to develop the cure for mutation.
In mainstream Marvel, Logan was the first individual known as Weapon X. After Wolverine, Garrison Kane went by the alias of Weapon X as well, before leaving the Canadian Government to work as a mercenary again.
A short-time later, a New Zealand terrorist was captured by the Canadian Government and subjected to an experiment which bonded him symbiotically to a bacteria colony. This symbiosis proved dangerous, as the union created a deadly energy field, which could only be contained by an armored suit, which was powered by the energy field.
The chronicle of Wolverine's days with the Weapon X project, from the bonding of adamantium to his bones to his escape from the project, were revealed in the limited series Weapon X, written and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith and published in installments in the anthology series Marvel Comics Presents in An expanded version of the story has been produced by writer Marc Cerasini and published by Pocket Star Books in The story intertwines with some of Wolverine's past, and eventually ends with Wolverine's rampage being described in full, only to be revealed as the work of a Virtual reality system which actually predicted the events of Wolverine's escape which then occur in real life moments later.
In , Weapon X became the name of the Age of Apocalypse variation of Wolverine's ongoing series During the Age of Apocalypse storyline, each X-Men series was renamed and renumbered for 4 monthly issues and then reverted to the original name and numbering after the storyline ended.
Weapon X is also the name of a canceled series published by Marvel, featuring the last variation of the project mentioned above.
It was written by Frank Tieri, who previously wrote the ongoing Wolverine title and had created the group's most recent incarnation in the pages of said book. The series began in and gained critical praise for its use of minor characters as well as reviving characters such as Cable, who at the time wasn't featured in a monthly title. However, sales sagged as the removal of Cable from the book after the first year, on orders of Rob Liefeld, who was working on a new X-Force project, led to the book becoming directionless.
Frank Tieri was forced to drop nearly all of his subplots, including the introduction of a mutant concentration camp run by Mr. Sinister that featured many popular B-List mutant characters, and take the book into the controversial direction involving the introduction of X, and Wolverine and Sabretooth's quest to find the recently revived John Sublime.
The new direction failed to catch on, mainly due to the books' over-exposure of Wolverine and the drastic change in tone of the book, and was cancelled with all of its storylines unresolved. The 23rd attempt at a perfect clone of Wolverine, Laura spent her childhood in captivity, isolated and brainwashed.
Her origin begins here in this mini-series by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost. Not much is known about the mysterious Fantomex other than his past ties to Weapon Plus, a branch of Weapon X.
Artificially created in a virtual world, Fantomex has three nervous systems and superhuman agility. Her relationship with Wade ended the same way it did in the film played by Morena Baccarin , with him breaking it off knowing of his terminal illness, and not wishing to put her through it. But their time together was far from over.
Taking up a career as a mercenary, she eventually wound up on the X-Force team with Cable, masquerading as Domino. But when ordered to take out the team she had come to trust, she bugged out, and began a romantic relationship with Garrison Kane. Over time her powers grew more and more unstable, so when she next crossed paths with Weapon X, she requested some improvements. The treatments made her more powerful than ever, but the effectiveness of her shapeshifting cost her a sense of self We couldn't make mention of the Weapon X flunkee who kicked Wade Wilson's career into motion without giving him an entry of his own When Wade first moves to the Hospice, home to all the washouts of Killbrew's Workshop, it's Worm who rolls out the welcome mat by offering a summary of the many afflictions the inmates now face.
In his case, it's a faulty cybernetic upgrade turning half of his head into metal, but apparently built with "Argentinian parts. Wade remains apprehensive, more eager to wallow in the life he's lost than take some dark amusement at his current predicament.
But it's Worm who stokes the fire of dissent and ridicule for Francis, their jailer, and once Wade's onto him, there's no going back. Francis finds a way to hurt him that he can't laugh off, though, when he lobotomizes Worm in front of all the inmates, including Wade. As Worm tells Wade to keep on fighting, and find a way out, he's reduced to nonsensical mumblings.
And at an urging from Lady Death herself, Wade ends Worm's suffering When assembling the very first group of enhanced mutant operatives, it only made sense for the Canadian group Department K to make sure a massive, lumbering, invulnerable tank was among them. Bernard Hoyster fit that bill, and received the blessing of invincibility or almost invincibility to go along with his well-over-seven-foot frame and weapons proficiency.
Unfortunately, his contributions to the world of X-Force and Deadpool comics are more tragic than thrilling. After departing Team X when Deadpool killed their aforementioned teammate, Sluggo ended up in a romance with Tina Valentino a close friend of Copycat's. So when Copycat shapeshifted to play Tina's identical twin and hide out, Sluggo's attempts to track her down alongside Deadpool's lead to a case of mistaken identity.
Sluggo kills Tina instead of Copycat, which would be incredibly tragic if his own death didn't come as a total accident, with Deadpool's friend Weasel shooting him in the head with a popcorn grenade gun. Weapon X doesn't fix brains, just bodies. As the name suggests, the mutant going by the name 'Marrow' has her mutation in the bone - literally. She's able to stimulate bone growth throughout her body, effectively creating bone knives, swords, clubs, or armor as needed.
It may turn the stomach of some readers, but it's a trick that can make her as deadly as Wolverine in close quarters combat, but it comes at a price. Over the course of her early career in the comics, Sarah - her real name - suffered uncontrollable bone growth, disfiguring her and then ostracizing her from society.
She sought out Weapon X as a possible cure, since they claimed to have the technology to cure her for good. Desperate to fit in and be 'beautiful,' Sarah took the offer, and it worked exactly as designed. But with her new looks, Sarah wasn't in a hurry to go back on the job any time soon. Since Weapon X doesn't take kindly to those who back out or delay, some horrible manipulation follows to wound Sarah emotionally, and harden her into the kind of soldier the group needed.
It worked, and Marrow entered a new chapter of her career: more beautiful than ever, and just as deadly. For those unfamiliar with the larger Weapon X program, it's as much a team of mutant-hunters as it is a system to amplify or augment mutant abilities.
So while the power to generate and manipulate water might not be at the top of the list of most coveted superpowers, someone assembling a versatile team might find the trick useful. Guys like Santana Moss, Terrell Owens, and Plaxico Burress have to change their pants before facing the Eagles because they shit themselves just looking at Dawkins.
Weapon X is a surefire Hall of Famer within the next ten years. Brian Dawkins , aka Weapon X, is one of the best safeties to ever play the game. To see an awesome highlight video of his greatness, go to YouTube and search for "Weapon X.
