Wolverine kills Deadpool – and one of the X-Men

Tovarisch is a Russian word that Piotr Rasputin, the steel-skinned mutant named Colossus, has long used to describe his friend and teammate Wolverine. But the X-Men are gone, and Wolverine has only one word for his enemies: SOBS. Wolverine: Revenge #3, by Jonathan Hickman (Ultimate Spider-Man) and Greg Capullo (Batman), continues the five-part standalone story set in AM: After Magneto, when the mutant master of magnetism released the greatest EMP in human history, a hundred million people killedand plunged the world into darkness.

Nick Fury recruited Wolverine into a SHIELD strike team with Captain America and the Winter Soldier to infiltrate Tunguska Station in Russia and extract a cold fusion SEED reactor – or billions more would die. At Tunguska Station, Wolverine learned that Colossus was siding with the mind-controlling mutant Mastermind and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants: Sabretooth, Omega Red, and Deadpool.

‘Someone has to lose. And today that is the West,” said Colossus. “And it’s you, old friend.” Deadpool detonated the bombs implanted in the chests of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, Wolverine blew up and snuffed out the last light in a dark world with the SEED

But Wolverine regained himself with his mutant healing factor and tracked down Forge, who had upgraded Magneto’s telepathically resistant helmet so that Wolverine could defeat Mastermind. Wolverine then had Forge dissect Mastermind’s brain to track down the Brotherhood and exact his bloody revenge.

Using the mutant neutralizer Built by Forge, Wolverine depowered and defeated his old enemy Sabretooth, then traveled to Russia and discovered the power source was melting. He killed Omega Red and found Deadpool on top of a burning cooling tower, where a remorseful Deadpool explained that the reactor is leaking radioactive fallout.

Deadpool planned to kill himself by jumping into the reactor, but changed his mind when he thought Wolverine was there for a while. Deadpool and Wolverine-style team-up. “Do you really think that someone who did everything we did can be forgiven?” Wolverine asked. “I don’t.” And then Wolverine pushed Deadpool into the reactor, overwhelming his healing factor, and the last thing that came out of the Merc with a Mouth was a scream.

Wolverine followed Colossus to his cabin in the frozen Russian wilderness and dug a grave for ‘Petey’. Wolverine unsheathed his adamantium-coated claws and attacked steely flesh, but Colossus put a twist on it their fastball special – threw Wolverine into the forest. A bloody brawl ensued and Wolverine opened the metal form of Colossus. “Why did you do it, Petey?” he asked. “The others, no surprise, even Wade… but you… you were the best from us.”

When Colossus explained that he sided with the Brotherhood because it was what was best for his family, Wolverine told him:I was your family.” Colossus then crushed Wolverine’s throat and ripped off his arm, telling his old one tovaric“I’m sorry it ended this way.”

With a GASP, Wolverine plunged his adamantium claws into Colossus’ skull, killing him. He then buried the former X-Man in a grave marked with an X, with the words, “And now it’s done.” Decades will pass when Wolverine: Revenge continues with issue 4 on November 27.
