Warning : Contains freebooter forX - Men Red # 18
Ever since Mars was terraformed and renamed Arrako , theX - Menhave encounter more Omega - degree mutants than ever before – include a so - called OmegaWolverine , namedLycaon . Like his fellow Arraki , this ancient example ofHomo superioris seemingly stronger than Earth ’s common mutants in much every means . But the Great Ring member just proved that he ’s nothing equate to the X - Men ’s original Best There Is At What He Does .
X - Men Red # 18by Al Ewing , Yildray Çinar , Federico Blee , and VC ’s Ariana Maher sees the state of war between Storm ’s Brotherhood and the force of Genesis ultimately reach its spectacular conclusion . With the conflict ending in the Saint Bride of Apocalypse ’s classical defeat , her armies are vitiate and leave all but shattered save for a few like Lycaon himself .
Raging against the victors , the once vaunted Omega Wolverinedecrees , “ Right or wrong – I oppose for Genesis!Evenifshe has fallen ! ” Going further to say he press for the oppressive rule of the warm over the watery , he ’s quick annihilated by the mutant Xilora , as the intact blowup cement his inferiority to the man called Logan .
Wolverine is know for his iconic and bloodthirsty Berserker Rages , but Logan ’s Omega counterpart on Arakko has the accurate diametric job .
The Arraki Wolverine’s “Balance” Was All For Show
During Lyacon ’s initial appearances in the page ofX - Men Red , much was made of his intrinsical obsession with balance and dichotomy sparked by his dual mind . In this way , he was a perfect foil for Wolverine himself , as Logan frequently struggles with the balancing number between his darker , more brutish nature , and the noble warrior that his X - Men admirer and fans have amount to know and love . But with Genesis ’ defeat , it becomes open that Lycaon was never about balance – he was simply an absolutist who wanted little more than total control and domination , and nothing like the adamantium - laced Canucklehead who was supposedly his lesser .
It ’s potential that it is only Lycaon ’s darker half speaking out here , as one of his two heads is seemingly incapacitated , but it ’s more likely that his obsession with the potent ruling over the weak has always been at the heart of his belief system . After all , that sort of philosophical system is part of what forged Arrako into the civilization of weapons its known to be , and it was the actuate factor ofApocalypse for years in his battles against the X - serviceman . Either way , it ’s a temptation into which Wolverine would never willingly pass . And while he and Lycaon share one law of similarity in that they ’ll fight to the last humankind for what they believe in , finally , Lycaon just pick the wrong side .
Wolverine Is Still The Best There Is
There are more than a few wolverine running around in the Marvel Comics universe , but they ’re all broody of Logan in some direction , cast , or form . Some variations or replacement of the ol’ Canucklehead , like his girl , Laura , are arguably good than the humans who come before them , while others are pale imitations . In this instance , Lycaonhas turn out himself the latter , definitively remindingX - Menreaders thatWolverineis truly the Best There Is At What He Does .
