For years, James Howlett wandered the world trying to find some purpose in his life, but nothing seemed to be able to distance him from what he learned to do - kill. Between wars, travel and work, his path takes him into the sinister and brutal Weapon X Program, as part of a group under the command of the ruthless William Stryker. Not the life he would like, but in his mind, perhaps the one he deserves - but to what extent? Receiving an unlikely new impulse, he will have to confront his past as much as his adversaries in his quest to end this vicious cycle. This is the story of his rise, and fall - and how he rose back. Divided into 8 episodes, the series is set 12 years before the events of Children of the Atom.
