Aye, Wolverine Really Did Die

Since every superhero death is taken with a grain of salt these days, the first question worth answering is: Yep, Wolverine really did die in his Decease of Wolverine serial (no false-outs, retcons, or tricks hither). As fans witnessed in that series, Wolverine ended a lifetime of villainous attempts to recreate his powers, covering himself in liquid-hot adamantium. The unbreakable liquid metal cooled, encasing him in a solid coffin, presumably smothering his cells to the bespeak of expiry (a decease not even his healing factor could resist).

When the adamantium 'Wolverine statue' was torn open up as part of the Hunt For Wolverine mystery, the truth of Logan's burying was revealed. The X-Men let the world (and their enemies) think that Logan's statue was also his corpse... but Kitty Pryde used her powers of intangibility to remove Wolverine's body to be privately buried it. It truly was that body that was restored to life, and that earthly grave that Logan crawled out of to begin his return. Merely what he woke up to is the real twist of the Render of Wolverine story.

Wolverine's Return From The Dead

That confirmation that information technology was Wolverine'south original body and mind returning has now been confirmed, simply fans were meant to be at a total loss at what was taking identify when Render of Wolverine #one begins. To be off-white, so is Logan himself: regaining consciousness in a laboratory filled with dead soldiers, claret covering his hands, and his adamantium claws glowing white hot. Oh, and without whatsoever memories of his life equally Logan or the Wolverine whatsoever. Slowly just surely, the details began to trickle in.

Whether or not it was all part of a trap to lure Wolverine off the planet Earth and into space (don't worry, we'll go there), the facts were more right than misleading. Logan was part of an experiment led by the mysterious Persephone, leader of a sinister, slippery, and seemingly cult-like group living off the grid. Persephone would turn out to be the one leading Wolverine to her doorstep for revenge, just her powers are far greater than merely deception.

Equally a mutant with ability over the expressionless, information technology was Persephone who brought Wolverine back to life... although that's non at all what she intended. From hither on out, it's SPOILERS aplenty.
