Chương 573: Beastality and Humanity
Peter was captivated by the cool abilities of Logan Howlett in the video.
Wanda, however, noticed something different and frowned, "The world he's in is very complex, with mutants and ordinary humans coexisting... It's not quite like our world."
In Peter Parker's world, there aren't many people with supernatural abilities, usually just one or two. In the Marvel Universe, although there are quite a few superheroes, and other alien races beyond Earth, there hasn't been any mention of mutants.
But clearly, in Logan Howlett's world, mutants pose a significant societal issue. Their supernatural abilities must be a destabilizing factor in human society.
Wanda wasn't the only one who thought of this. The audience outside the light screen did too. Bruce Wayne immediately had Dr. Banner look into Logan Howlett's world, urging Captain America and Iron Man, "We need to pay more attention to Wolverine's world!"
Bruce Wayne proposed forming the Multiverse Defenders, with the grand ideal of bringing justice and light to other multiverse worlds. There was also a pragmatic factor: this organization, gathering superheroes from various worlds, served to monitor those with extraordinary abilities.
Batman has always considered the worst-case scenario. He believes that these superheroes are a double-edged sword—they can bring justice and light to society and civilization, resisting various disasters and crises, but they can also become part of those disasters and crises. So, gathering and monitoring these unstable factors was a precaution. This was why he agreed to let Loki, Harry Osborn, and even the Joker, join the Multiverse Defenders.
The Multiverse Defenders now has many extraordinary heroes, almost all those exposed by the Quiz game. Bruce Wayne originally thought that beings like Superman, Captain America, and Spider-Man were rare.
But now, through Wolverine's video, he realized there's a world producing mutants in large numbers, which naturally raised his vigilance. He had a hunch that this Quiz game would definitely surprise him.
In the video, Logan and his brother, because of their extraordinary abilities, remained unharmed even under a barrage of gunfire, which drew the attention of a special military department. They were recruited into a special task force.
The members of this task force were all unusual, either possessing extraordinary abilities like Logan and his brother or mastering some top-tier skill.
The leader of this task force, William Stryker, had a military background and aimed to turn Logan and his team into the most formidable weapons.
Seeing this, Erik Lensherr was reminded of certain memories, his face darkening as he said coldly, "Look, this is how they treat us. In their eyes, we are freaks, weapons, not equals!"
Logan Howlett glanced at him without responding. The video showed events he had personally experienced, but now, watching them as an outsider, he had a different perspective.
He realized how insidiously cunning William Stryker was, something he had previously overlooked, leading to him being manipulated and suffering later.
The task force's missions were simple: receive orders and then go to designated locations to kill. Logan and his brother were like born killing machines, or rather, born killing beasts. Even trained elite soldiers were like rag dolls in their hands, completely powerless.
Especially Victor, the older brother known as Sabretooth, who completely unleashed his beastly nature in these killings, becoming addicted to the bloodshed.
In contrast, Logan Howlett grew tired of the killing. He always hoped to suppress his inner beastly nature. He wanted to be a human, not a despised beast. So, he left the task force and lived a secluded life.
During this time, he met a girl named Carla. They quickly fell in love. The gentle Carla gave Logan Howlett a warm and sweet home. It was from her recounting of a myth that Logan Howlett took the nickname Wolverine.
Seeing these sweet memories, Logan Howlett's hardened expression softened a bit, but his eyes soon filled with intense hatred as his peaceful life was brutally shattered.
Logan Howlett wanted a life free from trouble, peaceful and harmonious, but trouble eventually found him. One day, the former task force commander William Stryker showed up, telling him that many former task force members were innocently killed, hoping he would return to investigate.
Having settled into a peaceful life, Logan Howlett flatly refused. He didn't want to return to a life filled with killing, where beastly nature overshadowed humanity.
Soon, unexpected events occurred. Victor, Sabretooth, also showed up, and Logan Howlett found Carla's corpse… His peaceful and happy life was completely destroyed.
"Victor!"
Outside the screen, Logan Howlett was forced to relive this painful memory, his anger erupting, veins bulging on his forehead, fists clenched with claws extended, gritting his teeth as he called out his enemy's name.
Erik frowned, feeling that there might be more to Logan's situation, but he remained silent and continued watching the video.
In the video, the enraged Logan Howlett immediately confronted Sabretooth, engaging in a fierce and bloody fight. Both had strong regenerative abilities, causing blood to fly.
In the end, Sabretooth, the older brother, was superior. Logan Howlett was beaten unconscious. When he woke up in the hospital, he found William Stryker there.
Logan Howlett grabbed him angrily, demanding the truth. He wasn't stupid. He had been living in seclusion peacefully for years, but trouble came as soon as this guy appeared. How could it be such a coincidence?
William Stryker shifted all the blame onto Logan and his brother, claiming he had come to warn him, but Logan ignored it. And since his brother did the killing, what did it have to do with him?
