Notes
Continuity Notes
- There are several discrepancies between Pag. 7-13's flashbacks and the original telling from Marvel Comics Presents #72-84:
- When Logan is captured by Weapon X agents outside from the bar in Canada, Dr. Abraham Cornelius is present, while, in the original story from Marvel Comics Presents #72, he is absent, since he is already into the Weapon X Facility.
- When Logan escapes from the Complex, he is shown killing Dr. Cornelius and another scientist, also cutting's Cornelius right hand. In the original telling from Marvel Comics Presents #80, he cut The Professor's hand, and it eventually turned out to be a reality-simulation in Marvel Comics Presents #84; however, both showed up alive at some point in Logan's history. While the Professor, mysteriously without an hand, was later killed by Silver Fox in Wolverine Vol 2 #50, Cornelius appeared in X-Men Vol 2 #5-7, where he was killed by Maverick; he eventually re-appeared as alive many years later, leading a new Weapon X Program in Paradise, Nevada in Death of Wolverine #3-4, where he was definitely killed by Logan, who also died afterwards.
