    Summary:
    Logan finally reveals what happened to him fifty years ago -- the day Wolverine died.

    Logan goes back fifty years back in the X-Mansion in Westchester where he was with Jubilee. Suddenly, there was an explosion which kills off Jubilee, then several supervillains appeared -- Stryfe, Doctor Octopus, Shocker, to name a few.

    He lashes out at every villain he sees while looking for the rest of the X-Men who are nowhere to be found. He kills each and everyone of the attackers. One by one, the villains go down, until it Bullseye is the last one left. After finally finishing him off with a straight claw thrust through and through, the truth is revealed -- he just gutted Jubilee.

    Mysterio appears and reveals that he alone could not possibly take out forty supervillains on his own. He thanks him on behalf of the criminal community and leaves. With him gone, the rest of the illusion is removed and the carnage he wrought is finally revealed -- Wolverine has massacred the entire X-Men...

    After an indefinite amount of time, Wolverine just wandered off the forest crying and sobbing, and cannot think straight. He wants to punish himself for what he had done. After passing by a railroad, he waited for a train, laid down on the tracks and just waited there to be killed -- which did not happen due to his advanced healing factor.

    With that, he swore never to hurt another living soul again.

    Next day, they reach Dwight's Toll, basically a short metal bridge, where they were stopped by Dwight, a short guy wearing the original Ant-Man helmet. Paying the toll of eighty cents, they pass by the bridge unscathe. Below the bridge are several remains of who appear to be the ones who did not pay Dwight's toll.

    They are passing by Doom's Head, Illinois, where their Venom symbiote stalker now bonded with a T-Rex is madly rampaging through the wasteland waiting chasing after them.
