Marvel Série II #9
"Prelúdio" marks a pivotal moment in the Marvel Série II series, delivering a tense, atmospheric escalation in the ongoing saga of Logan’s captivity and awakening. Written by Barry Windsor-Smith and José de Freitas, and illustrated entirely by Windsor-Smith in his signature stark, expressive style, the issue unfolds with relentless focus as Logan breaks free, navigating the facility’s depths while the inner circle of the facility fractures under pressure. The cover, also by Windsor-Smith, captures the raw intensity of the moment, setting the tone for a story where control is slipping and the line between weapon and man grows dangerously thin.
In "Prelúdio," Logan, haunted by violent dreams and struggling with alcoholism after being discharged from the army, seeks escape in the remote Klondike—driving his Lotus Seven through the cold, open roads. As he flees his past, a shadowy operation led by the Professor quietly recruits Abraham Cornelius and Carol Hines to prepare the Experiência X, while agents keep a watchful eye on him from a roadside bar.
In "Capítulo 1" from Marvel Série II #9, Logan is captured by X-Force operatives and brought to a hidden facility, where he's subjected to a mysterious procedure involving a crimson liquid, invasive cables, and constant monitoring by Carol Hines. As his body defies the treatment with relentless regeneration, the team—led by Cornelius and the Professor—grapple with the unsettling truth that Logan may be something beyond human, his past injuries no longer binding him.
In "Capítulo 2" from Marvel Série II #9, the professor confronts a startling revelation about his current test subject, while Logan awakens to a surge of rage that forces his adamantium claws to extend from his wrists.
In "Capítulo 3," Cornelius reveals to the Professor how he and two guards barely survived an attack by Logan, who stormed the observation cabin after killing a young technician—only to collapse when life-support cables snapped. The Professor, probing deeper into Logan’s mind, uncovers his true nature as a mutant enhanced by the X-Experiment, making him a formidable weapon. As Logan awakens, he struggles to break free, only to be sedated again—now facing a new mission: reprogramming, training, and reshaping his identity.
In "Capítulo 4," Logan's mind reels under the strain of the adamantium bonding, his violent impulses spiraling beyond control. As the Professor and Cornelius struggle to reach him through the haze of his fractured psyche, a desperate attempt to communicate via microphone unleashes a storm of raw, subconscious images—shattering the fragile calm. The line between memory and madness blurs, and even in sleep, Logan’s pain begins to fight back.
In "Capítulo 5," Logan endures a brutal field test orchestrated by Cornelius and Carol Hines, his body painted with sheep's blood to lure wolves. As the attack unfolds, his feral instincts surge, claws erupting in a violent clash that proves the adamantium's deadly potential. Left unconscious in the freezing dark, Logan's fate hangs in the balance as the experiment pushes beyond human limits.
In "Capítulo 6," Logan returns to the lab after a successful test, now wired with sensory implants that let his movements be controlled—but only with bulky, heavy batteries. As he lies semi-conscious, the Professor attempts to operate the control box, fails to make Logan move, and is mocked by the medical staff, left humiliated. When Cornelius dismisses the team, leaving the Professor alone with Logan—unresponsive and vulnerable—he throws hot coffee in Logan’s face to confirm the man is truly disconnected.
In "Capítulo 7," Logan endures a brutal field test in the snow, his movements tracked by cameras and controlled by a helmet and battery pack. After swiftly taking down a bear and earning cautious approval from the Professor, he's ordered to face a human opponent—prompting Cornelius to voice his unease about the path they're on. When alarms sound, Logan kills the two handlers and escapes the facility, his actions leaving his true motives—and the consequences—uncertain.
In "Capítulo 8," Logan breaks free and pushes through the facility, overcoming guards even after being sedated. As Hines and Cornelius track his progress, the security chief requests permission to use live fire, while the Professor, distracted by higher-ups claiming Logan is being used to "clear deadwood"—including himself—struggles to regain control from the console. With Logan reaching the lab, the tension peaks as security opens fire, and the Professor makes a desperate order: eliminate Weapon X.
In "Capítulo 9," the tension reaches a breaking point as Logan, driven by rage and loss, turns on those trying to rescue the Professor. With the Professor wounded and fleeing with Hines and Cornelius toward the adamantium reactor, desperate for safety, the fragile hope of stopping Logan hinges on a single, trembling hand reaching for a weapon.
In "Capítulo 10," Logan finds himself at odds with the Professor, Dr. Cornelius, and Carol Hines in a tense confrontation that spirals into violence. As loyalties fracture and the stakes rise, a sudden gunshot leaves Logan wounded—and a flicker of forgotten memory stirs in his mind when he kills Cornelius. With the Professor and Hines fleeing toward the reactor, the countdown to disaster begins.
In "Capítulo 11," Professor X lures Logan into the reactor's exhaust pit and activates the adamantium purge, flooding the space with searing heat. As the flames consume Logan, the Professor boasts to unseen overseers of having ended the experiment—only to realize too late that they’ve taken control and shut down the purge. From the inferno, Logan emerges, burning, and turns on the Professor with deadly precision.
In "Capítulo 12," Logan awakens disoriented in a frozen wasteland, haunted by fragmented memories and the echoes of a massacre he can’t recall committing. After surviving a brutal encounter with a Siberian tiger, he realizes the nightmare was a simulated test—his mind manipulated by scientists seeking to turn him into a weapon. As the truth unravels, Logan fights his way free, fleeing into the snow-covered wilderness, where the line between reality and experiment blurs.
In the icy chaos of a Christmas shopping rush, a storm of snow and violence erupts when Lady Letal, transformed into a ciborgue by the Spiral, unleashes her three former Club of Hell guards on Wolverine. With Katie Power separated from her guardian, the young girl stumbles upon the wounded hero, and together they flee the relentless cybernetic hunters. As the snow falls and the city trembles, Logan must confront not only his enemies but the cost of mercy in a world that demands blood.
