Episode: Episode 242: Weapon X
Description: After a brief but worthwhile interruption, All My Xs, our decade-by-decade look at Marvel's X-Men franchise, returns with 1991's Weapon X, written and drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith! Originally serialized in Marvel Comics Presents #72-84, this Wolverine story largely focuses on three members of the shadowy Weapon X program, which captures a scrappy loner named Logan, gives him an adamantium skeleton and claws, and turns him into a ruthless killing machine. Will the evil Professor, along with Dr. Cornelius and Carol Hines, suffer any consequences for what they've done? What's the deal with that twist, anyway...
