Now, Xavier is gone, and Wolverine is left behind.
Wolverine may be near-immortal, but he isn’t invincible.
These are some of the most shocking and horrific deaths Marvel Comics has ever seen.
As opposed toWeapon X or Department H, Xavier offered Logan something more than a life defined by death.
The Professor didnt just tell Wolverine he could be a hero, he made Logan believe it.
Charles challenged Logan to earn something no one had ever demanded from the feral hero: control.
In a way, it was yet another lesson bestowed by the Professor.
Yet, after Xaviers actions and the tragedy of Krakoas demise, Wolverine still forgave the Professor.
Rising from the ashes of mutantkinds home, a new generation of mutants emerged in need of guidance.
Hatred melted into pain, and chaos transformed into a bittersweet peace.
Because, the thing is, he doesnt have to.
AsXavier sends his final messageto Earths mutants, he doesnt say a thing to Wolverine directly.
Once again, he doesnt need to either.
But, they have also loved, led, and nurtured their team and those who came after.
All that pain, all those victories, all that effort is exhausting.
Wolverine, after his many long years of life, knows this existential exhaustion intimately.
