| Synopsis | - Lacking personal connections and any memory of his past, Logan drifted from Japan to Los Angeles to the deserts of California, searching for a home and a purpose. Most recently, he found a mysterious note directing him to Las Vegas. As he traveled toward that destination on his motorcycle, dealing with mechanical trouble and hitchhiking mishaps along the way, he found himself in a position to protect a man named Bobby Fragos from a group of violent delinquents. Fragos called Logan by his real name, revealed himself to be a killer for hire and attempted to extort Logan. With his back against the wall, Logan killed Fragos, then took off to Las Vegas.
In Vegas, Logan took up cage fighting under the pseudonym Lil' Rick and the management of a shady friend named Sean. One night after a winning fight, Logan met and was seduced by a hypnotist named Mother Night. Without Logan knowing, Mother Night hypnotized him and forced him to murder a man named Max Fisher and his mistress. Logan awoke from the trance covered in blood, confused and unsure about what he had done and desperate for answers. Logan discovered he had been set up -- that Max Fisher was Mother Night's husband, and that she and Sean had conspired to use him. He exacted revenge, killing them both. Ready for a showdown with the cops, he was instead confronted by a young stranger with a limo who ordered Logan into the car.
That stranger was the son of Mickey Gold, a powerful Las Vegas gangster who claimed Logan was one of his hired thugs. Gold dispatched his son and Wolverine to kill a man for seemingly no reason. Logan tired to mediate the situation -- but Gold's son attacked the man's wife -- and Logan lost control of himself, killing Gold's son, the man and his wife...
After killing Saiquan and his wife and also Mr. Gold’s son Mickey Jr. Logan finds some cash and washes off the blood from his conflict. Using Mr. Gold’s son’s car, he heads to the casino’s. Once gambling as “John Collingsworth” was lucky as he starting winning lots of money and knew when to leave each table. After leaving the casino, John Collingsworth is confronted by Mr. Gold’s henchmen; he then was drugged.
Later, Logan awakes up in what seems like a jail cell. Mickey Gold then confronts Logan about the truth, and that he used Logan to try and get “Frank Castle”. Angry, Mickey Gold unsheathes his own Adamantium claws surprising Logan, and that he wanted to inflict the same pain to Logan asd he did; when he killed his son. Very angry, Logan unsheathes his Adamantium claws killing Mickey Gold , and then his henchmen.
“People never learn...to leave me the f_ck alone. Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I ask for it. Maybe it’s time to finally let go. Spent my whole life letting other people call the shots...maybe it’s time to start callin’ my own. . When the pain ends. Maybe things will be different. When my arms grow back without claws. Maybe I’ll be more human. Maybe I can get away, go home to Canada, live in peace. Maybe I won’t want to fight anymore, won’t want to kill. Who knows? Maybe today’s my lucky day.”
