Wolverine: Origins #16

In the wake of Captain America’s death, Wolverine reflects on a pivotal moment from 1941 in Madripoor—when he first crossed paths with the young Steve Rogers, joining forces to rescue a child, Natalia Romanova, from Baron Strucker and the deadly reach of the Hand. Amid shadows and secrets, the bond between two legends began, long before the world knew their names.

In "Madripoor Nights," Wolverine finds himself in a tense standoff with the children of Baron Strucker, their legacy of villainy echoing through the shadows of the present. Flashbacks reveal a pivotal 1941 mission where a young Steve Rogers and a younger Logan fought to rescue a young Natasha Romanoff from Strucker’s grasp, setting the stage for a reckoning decades later.
