Fiery Showdown: Wolverine vs. Rogue X-Men in ‘Ultimate Wolverine’ #2

The first issue of ‘Ultimate Wolverine’ has been a huge hit for Marvel Comics, and we’re excited to share that the second issue is set to follow suit! Unlike his usual appearances with the X-Men, this series offers a fresh take on the character. Although Logan remains lethal as ever, his former X-Men teammates have transformed him into an entity akin to the Winter Soldier. A sneak peek at ‘Ultimate Wolverine’ #2 reveals that our hero will soon engage in a confrontation with one of these ex-comrades.

A preview, crafted by Chris Condon, Alessandro Cappuccio, and Bryan Valenza, delves deeper into the astonishing happenings from issue #1, which saw Wolverine taking the lives of Nightcrawler and Mystique during a covert operation.

Piotr and Illyana Rasputin, in this world, serve as villains under the control of a malevolent version of Reed Richards known as The Maker. They were once part of a faction opposing the rule of Colossus, Magik, and Omega Red within the Eurasian Republic, but due to historical manipulation by The Maker, they find themselves on the opposite side of their former allies in this alternate universe.

In this rephrased version: The Creator split the Grand Cosmos into domains governed by his malevolent cabinet. Subsequently, Colossus, Magik, and Omega Red covertly established Directorate X, exploiting mutants; Wolverine was one of their most effective outcomes. Following an assault on a base belonging to the Resistance, Doctor Prostovich from Directorate X recognized Wolverine’s potential and suggested him for the Adamantium bonding procedure, transforming him into the lethal force he is today.

The sneak peek displays several scenes: Arson apparently at Xavier’s school, soldiers battling in snowy landscapes, a gathering of Directorate X, and Colossus engaging in a fierce assault against Wolverine. Unlike the noble Colossus from Earth-616, this character portrays a merciless ruler of the Eurasian Republic, executing without remorse to further his schemes.

In issue #2 of Ultimate Wolverine, Colossus, Omega Red, and Magik challenge the titular hero by assessing his ability to face off against THE COUNCIL OF CREATORS AND THEIR DEADLY ARSENAL, a faction advocating for mutant freedom!

Here’s a preview of ‘Ultimate Wolverine’ #2, which will be available on Wednesday, February 19th.
