Synopsis: On the eve of the Time of Darkness, enter the Leader! Take one feral X-Man, add one immortal Avenger, throw in a megalomaniacal genius and you've got a throwdown of epic proportions! Hercules guest stars as Wolverine is confronted by the evil of the Leader! Could this be a prelude to next month's 20th Anniversary?
Alternate Take: Wolverine dons his costume for the first time to go on a trial mission for Department H. He’s suddenly kidnapped during the test by the Leader, who’s also abducted Hercules and Karkas. Leader explains his plan to use them against the Hulk, not counting on Wolverine to sneak out of his bonds. Wolverine, Hercules, and Karkas defeat the Leader, and after Wolverine eventually returns to Canada, he’s eager to accept his first official mission -- stopping the Hulk. In the present day, Dum Dum Dugan sends Wolverine on yet another mission against the Hulk.
Continuity Notes:
· The Leader’s appearance in this flashback is set shortly after Marvel Feature #11.
· Unlike the Guts and Glory one-shot, this story understands that Wolverine’s first mission in costume was his battle against the Hulk and Wendigo, detailed in Incredible Hulk #180-181. The story has to label that fight his first “official” mission in order for these events to fit, however.
· Wolverine comments that Alpha Flight was behaving oddly during his previous encounter with them, and that he might need to investigate in the future. This was likely a line thrown in to give Larsen/Stephenson some room for a few retcons following complaints about the previous arc.
