Origin II will reveal more Wolverine’s past in a new limited series by Kieron Gillen and Adam Kubert. Marvel made the announcement at San Diego Comic Con this past weekend.

 

Origin revealed Wolverine’s childhood, real age and real name (James Howlett) and his connection to arch-enemy Sabretooth.

 

Writer Kieron Gillen promises this new series exposes more background of one of the X-Men’s greatest enemies: Mister Sinister.

 

“This is a good example of what I mean by [the series] being self-contained,” Gillen tells Marvel.com. “Nathaniel Essex has the sort of background that keeps Wikipedia editors at work forever. His appearance in ORIGIN II entirely fits into his personal chronology, but for those who don’t know anything about him will treat him as he appears, as in, a disgraced London scientist moving into increasingly unethical areas, discovering a strange new species for the first time. One of the working titles for Origin II was ‘Origin of the Species.’ Read into that as you will. Continue reading Mister Sinister in Wolverine ORIGIN II
