Marvel shared a look at Adam Kubert’s art from Origin II #3. The limited series explores Wolverine’s early life long before he became an X-Man. The untold tale of James Howlett does include one of the X-Men’s greatest enemies. Nathaniel Essex (the corrupt scientist will become Mister Sinister) who joins Victor Creed in the story by Kieron Gillen (Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men, Young Avengers.)

 

The writer tells Marvel.com about the roles of Creed and a new woman in Logan’s life, Clara.

 

“Even in the second issue, she’s clearly the one who believes in Logan, or at least believes he’s being mistreated terribly. She’s the one who wants him out of the cage. She’s the one who wants him to talk. So she’s actually the one who Logan most rebuffs. If you can describe anyone in the narrative as good, it’s Clara.
The same can’t really be said of Creed, and the relationship between Clara and him is just as important.”

Origin revealed the real name, age, family background of Wolverine. Origin II picks up 10 years later with more of the hero’s past. Gillen responds to the worry that you can reveal too much about the fan-favorite hero.

 

“Yeah, there’s always a danger, but there’s always a danger in writing anything. Deciding what detail adds to him and what detail lessens is the job. I want to say something about the fundamentals of Logan in ORIGIN II that reveals his character. I mean, there’s clearly going to be some key aspects of his relationship with Sabretooth being charted here, and the aim is to add flesh to that bloody relationship. It has to feel both mythic and real. If you’re replacing a question mark with anything, you want it to fire the imagination in a similar way.”

 

Origin II #3 arrives on February 26th.

While Gillen wrote the second volume of Uncanny X-Men this is the first time he’s writing Wolverine.
