Weapon X: First Class

In this 2009 Marvel miniseries, writer Marc Sumerak and artist Mark Robinson re-examine the secret origins of Logan’s transformation into the living weapon known as Weapon X. Set during the early days of the Weapon X program, the story places a young Logan under the cruel supervision of Dr. Abraham Cornelius and Carol Hines, while a mysterious benefactor—revealed to be Professor Charles Xavier—watches from the shadows. The series adds new layers to Wolverine’s brutal past, introducing Sabretooth as an early threat and exploring the moral compromises that shaped both Logan and Xavier. It’s a compact, character-driven prequel that deepens the Marvel Universe’s foundational mutant mythology.
