Every so often, Marvel will take a risk and replace one of their characters, and now the label will be replacing a beloved character for an all-new project. Details have been released regarding which character will take the iconic mantle of their predecessor, and fans are certainly going to be eager to learn more.
The replacement will be the focus of a new miniseries as part of a new revamp of the X-Men mythos. A new storyline is in the works and this miniseries will revolve around one of the team’s most important members and the legacy they’ve left behind.
The new storyline, titled the “Age of Revelation,” is described as a variation on the “Age of Apocalypse” storyline, with the narrative taking place ten years after the events of X-Men: The Heir of Apocalypse when a mutant known as Revelation, aka Doug Ramsey, begins to rule the world.
Here’s what ComicBook.com shared regarding the synopsis for one of the new miniseries making up the Age of Apocalypse narrative, The Last Wolverine, and the character that will be taking over the mantle from Logan:
“WHAT HAPPENED TO WOLVERINE? X YEARS LATER, the people of Vancouver cheer a new hero: the WONDERFUL WOLVERINE, A.K.A. the WENDIGO, Logan’s last student,” Marvel shared. “But what happened to Logan? A secret from Wolverine’s past will set the Last Wolverine on a mission to uphold his mentor’s legacy… unless a dire threat burns it all down first!”
Fans have previously seen Wolverine work alongside the Wendigo, also known as Leonard, so it’ll be exciting to see Leonard pick up where Wolverine left off. Clearly a lot has changed in the ten years that Revelation takes over the world, and now Marvel has Wendigo replacing the iconic character Logan as Wolverine going into this new future.
Fans will be able to see the new replacement for Wolverine in The Last Wolverine #1 when it drops on October 22, 2025. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Marvel Comics and other related properties including the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we have them.
