After his adoptive parents reveal pieces of his past, Jimmy discovers that he is connected to a legendary mutant warrior who walked away from the world long ago: Logan, the original Wolverine. Searching for answers, Jimmy travels to Madripoor, a lawless island controlled by criminal empires, secret organizations, and dangerous mutant factions. There he encounters Graydon Creed, his cousin and fellow mutant whose hatred toward Jimmy grows into a personal rivalry. Meanwhile, William Stryker and a network of mutant hunters begin experimenting on enhanced individuals to create the next generation of weapons. Jimmy must decide whether he will become another weapon or become a hero. The Wolverine legacy continues.
