Weapon X Program
A top-secret program which was apparently run by a joint effort of the U.S. and
Canadian governements. The Weapon X Program was responsible for giving Logan
his adamantium bones, but it was also connected with the Black Ops team of Maverick,
Sabretooth, Wraith,
Silver Fox, and Mastodon, all of whom appear to
have been enhanced with an age-suppression factor derived from Wolverine himself.
The program was to design assassins who would be implanted with false memories
and set up as sleeper units until they were needed by the government. A failsafe,
a robot called Shiva, was also created to eliminate the assassins should they
ever find out the truth or lose control. The implanted memories are why much of
Logan's past is such a mystery. It seems that the Black Ops portion of the program
took place before the adamantium bonding process.
